AutoMeter, DiProcol and Isspro all make good gauges. Will you be adding more gauges later? If so, maybe get a pod so you have a place to put your other gauges down the road. There are several different mounting locations for the pods- A-pillar, over the R view mirror, bottom of dash, top of dash, all personal preference.

Those are typically the standard 3 that most people choose. That should get you thru most scenerios that you would more then likely deal with. I could make arguments for a couple more, I would highly suggest either an ECT or an EOT gauge as well. That will help with engine longevity rather the truck is stock or tuned.

You could make arguments for each one as to what is more important, although, I think there would be more people claiming EOT as higher priority then ECT.

Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other.
