Pyro is for watching Exhaust Gas Temps (EGTs). If they get too hot (sustained over 1250-1300* F), you can melt a piston. Spend a little extra and get the DiPricols -- you'll really like 'em.

Personally, i like the Dipricols. Their color matches perfectly, as well as the font style, IMHO. Get boost, trans, and EGT. I have a full sweep trans and wouldn't have it any other way.
A little grainy, but here is a night shot.
You can kind of see the factory panel to see how it looks. Mines a '02, so the instrument panel font is a little different than the earlier models
Good luck with the decision, either way, you'll like having them!
by the way, SkiSkyJason, nice setup there!

If ya get a temp gauge with a one-wire sending unit, ya can use a switch to select which sender the gauge sees. In (the wife's) Excursion, I just used a DPST switch - the center pin on switch goes to gauge and the outer pins eac go to a sender. Wifey does not need too many choices, otherwise a 6 position rotary switch can be used (avail. from radio smack) and sending units are only about $10 each. Thanks George! I agree so much about the full-sweep, I sold my 'partial' sweep temp gauge and stuck an HPO pressure gauge in that hole in our F350. Someday I'll install this 3 gauge 'over the mirror' pod and get my temp gauge back. Unless I get the 4 gauge 'over the mirror'... Damn PSD Mod syndrome!! The HPO pressure gauge just helps justify Big Oil to go with the bigger injectors I already installed. Of course, after Big Oil I'm sure I can use a bigger turbo - by then, the LUK clutch I have may not hold anymore, but since I likely have PMR's (powdered metal rods), I'll be tearing the motor down before I can do tooooo much more. Really, I can stop anytime I want! Come on Mom, I was just holding that bag of parts for a friend..... really!!
