Which gauges are you considering? Is yours a manual or automatic? There's really no good place on the third gen trucks to mount gauges, unless you are willing to hacksaw off your grab handle on the A pillar. The best way to go I have seen for the new trucks is the X-monitor. You get all your readouts on one small digital screen, and you can mount it on your A pillar without cutting off the handle.Poor said:

It is much easier to install than the individual gauges. You have an auto, so you prolly want to get pyro, boost, and tranny temp? I have the six speed and want to get pyro, boost, and fuel pressure. You can get them in any combination you want, I think you can have it monitor up to four things.Poor said:

Looks like a great price.
The gauge that monitors EGT is called a pyro gauge. You tell them what you want it to monitor when you order it. You can get them with up to four different functions, or less if you don't need all of them. Without the fueling box I don't think you really need to monitor anything extra, but with the fueling box you will need a pyro guage. Monitoring boost is just for fun, as far as I can tell. With your automatic tranny you will want to monitor your tranny temp. I would like to monitor my fuel pressure so I can catch problems like fuel pumps and clogged filters before they do any further damage. Pyro and tranny temp are the most important ones for you.Poor said:

I know that they are not big on letting you buy something that is just going to give you trouble later on, like putting a 100 pony chip in without at least strongly recommending a set of gauges and a exhaust to keep up with the chip.
It kind of like selling someone a 4"lift and not telling them they will need a longer driveline or two, a pitman arm and longer brakelines to do anything with it. You can get by without the extras but in the long run you wouldn't want to.
