Wink Pillar guage kit?? & what guages??

I think I have seen them listed here before by one of our sponsors....already painted the correct color of the interior and guages already installed....I guess with the rest of the hook-up-installation instructions.....
What guages do most of you run?? trans temp? exhaust temp? boost? ???
I don't want to get crazy-just be able to monitor the stuff thats important. Thanks!!

You are probably talking about this sponsor: http://www.dieselmanor.com/

I have the Autometer ultra lites in my truck but everyone has their opinion on the types. Just stick with the manufacturers that have a good reputation for quality products. Here's my pics:

Yes I think I have. Went out and bought some good double sided tape got home and realized that I am going to have to suck it up and drill some holes. So the pod can be removed to install wiring and align the gauges in the pod.

Just going to have to suck it up.

Well, if you need them, I have two extra of the push pins that mounts the pillar. Just PM me if you want them.

OP: Sorry for the hijack...

Thanks for the offer. I have the 4 that were included. If it goes smoothly that's all I should need.

My gage package package is a little different from others here.

I went with Water temp, Trans Temp, & Pryo. I can feel the boost, so rather than buying that gage, I decided I would be better off knowing the coolent temp (especially when climbing the Rockies & towing a loaded trailer).

JMHO,

Richard
