Banks gauges
I am looking at getting those gauges that mount to the drivers piller. I want to get the Banks style gauges and i would like to see if any of you guys have them on your trucks and if they are lighted

In all honesty, I would not go with the banks guages. You would be much better off by going with isspro's or dipricol's from one of our site sponsors. Yes they are lighted. Where you mount them is up to you, you can mount them on the A-pillar, they make a pod to do that, once again, check with our site sponsors. Also, the other guages will probably be a good bit cheaper, but as good, if not better, quality. Just my opinion. Good luck.

I don't like the looks of the Banks gauges myself, I would also vote for Isspro or DiPricol. I got a good deal on an Isspro kit and I'm happy with them. Mounts are available for the a-pillar, above the rear view mirror, and on the dash under the stereo, or you could buy a hole saw and mount the dang things wherever you want them.

Don't give Banks your money. His stuff is overpriced and not any better than other stuff on the market. You are only paying for his name. Call Diesel Manor, they have great customer service, their directions are very good, and the gauges they sell are top notch.

I do have the banks gauges and the only thing i don`t like is the lights in the gauges are not bright enough for my old eyes and oh yea the price, but they came with the truck. Do what the other guys say. Roy

Well your boost reading won't be right with the digital gauges and I have personally never trusted them to be accurate.
If Gale Banks makes it and tells you to buy it look at one of our sponsors and you'll find a better product and cheaper. I have Isspros and love them but I wish I went with the Dioptixs.
