DiPricol Gauges

OK, I'm gonna buy some gauges. Other than the standard boost, pyro, and trans temp gauges what should I choose as my 4th one? Should I just save up for the dp tuner, or is it worth the money to get the fuel pressure, or hpop ones? I don't plan on doing much more to my truck, just the tuner. Thanks for your opinion.

I thought about that, but didn't know if the gauges would be more important. I was planning on just getting the rectangle switch, but your idea would probably look better.

Thanks

I say get a HPOP gauge and get the DP-Tuner on the gauge hanger. I wish I had gone with DiPricol I like my isspros but those are so much nicer.

You'll be fine with the three and the rectangular switch hanger from the gauge pod. I love my DiPricols. Problem is, it never seems to stop once you get bitten by the HP bug.

I personally dont like gauges on the pillar, or any light above the dash, but I drive ALOT at night and offroad at night. So I have done this:

I got the Di Pricols and they are friggin sweet. I only wish I had the 4th pod so I could have the newer style switch from DP.
I also wish DiPricols would come out with a voltage guage and a water temp guage. Then life would be sweet.

Mike --> Are you a Ham??

I see you have the radios, but not on Amateur freqs.....

To the OP, I have the 4 gauge pod with the bottom one STILL empty. I'm about to put that digital multi-gauge in it though. I was going to do the DiPricol HPOP gauge, but for not much more, you can put in a digi-gauge that reads everything else off the OBD port (including HPOP pressure). Gotta sort out a couple other issues first, then I'll get that put in.

Yes, I technically am, just dont practice it much. I help with the setup, and tear down in the summer on field day, but thats about as far as I go haha. The kenwood ham radio up top, is nice because I can dial a freq, and use it. Which is much faster then getting the computer out, and reprogramming one of the other two. You cant see it, but theres actually a third remote mount radio, mounted below the headlight switch. TK-8150. Yes, I have a busy dashboard.

EDIT: Generally speaking, I use all that radio equiptment for work. (still building, maintaining a couple of counties public safety systems, IE police, fire, ems)

I second both of these statements.

To the OP, you will love the Di Pricols.

What digi-gauge are you looking at getting?

I must say I vote for going with the fourth gauge because I think it looks so killer!
