pillar gauges

do they make gauges that'll fit on the pillar without removing the grab handle?.if so, what price do they go for. thinking of pyro, boost, and eng. temp. any other suggestions on which gauges to run, would one be better to have than the other?.

They make them, but only one gauge will fit on it.

I was wondering the same thing and the general results were no... I've since realized the oh #$(* handle or grab handle as you reffered to it as isn't used that much. I only use it to get in my truck but the steering wheel will work just fine. If you are looking for a package most dont come with an engine temp included so you'd have to buy everything seperate. If you want boost, pyro and trans temp diesel manor thoroughbred diesel and GOS performance have affordable packages with those gauges....Good luck!

You can either get the one gauge pods or you can get the gauge pods for the digital OBD-II monitors such as DashHawk. Those are about the only way that you'll be able to keep that grab handle. Personally I didn't want to lose it, but after awhile, you really don't care about it not being there; you adjust.
