Guage pod-opinons?

I have been looking around for a while and found these gauges- eBay Motors: TAN 99-06 EXCURSION 3 GAUGE POD + B7 BOOST PYRO TRANS (item 350172066595 end time Mar-29-09 21:47:48 PDT)
Does anyone see any problems with these? I know I would need to get paint to match it, no big deal. Opinions?

I do have a triple A-pillar gauge pod installed on my truck, but I'm not familiar with the brand of these gauges. I run Autometer Cobalt gauges, which gives a nice blue LED glow to the interior.

NOOOOOOO Don't go with those they are junk. All I run are Dipricols

Dipricols on the left pillar and auto meter on the right

Just question but what gauges do you have. Since your a gas engine isn't all you need is trans temp?

I have Isspro mounted on the pillar. I think these are one of the two or 3 preferred brand of gauges.

I have planned on getting the Dipricols, mainly because of the great reviews of them on here and they match the factory cluster perfectly. Thanks for your help guys.

I know many like and go with the multi A-pillar pod options...

I opted for a single 2" round option that displays two parameters at the same time. This gauge will also display boost and you can feed in the pyro sensor to an analog input.

This gauge will display ALL PCM parameters and can calculate MPG's as well as read and clear engine codes.

I'm not sure what a full set of gauges costs...but this one gauge with pod will set you back about $300 and I got to keep my grab handle...

Good luck with your decisions...

Joe.

Here's a few photos

nick, since I have a v10, there isnt really engine wise that i need to see. all of them are actually for my stereo system. the top gauge is an amp current meter. it shows exactly how many amps I am drawing from my secondary alternator. typically, i pull about 160-190 amps from the alternator. the second one is a volt meter for the secondary alternator. the third is a volt meter for the main alternator. the last gauge is a amplifier temperature gauge. suprisingly, i NEED them all. the setup was almost $600.
