Regular Pillar Gauges of Commander?
I am hoping to put some sort of gauges on my truck as soon as i can and was wondering what everyone thought about the commander? or if i should just go with regular pillar gauges? and if regular gauges which ones match the dash lighting best? prices? Thanks

I installed the Commander with the extra fuel pressure. I think it's the best bang for the buck. Works great. The pillar looks like a factory install. I can tell you through personal experience that the customer support is excellent.
I better cool it, starting to sound like I work for Quadzilla. Just happy with the service I received.

Tough call. Price wise it's a toss up.
Some people like the sweep and/or look of analog gauges, others not so much.
I did a poll on this before I got my gauges, it was a tough decision but I ended up with Di-Pricol Optix.
Here is what I came up with:

And heres another one:

truk, do you like the power and everything you have with your new unit? i might do what you have done if i can get a good deal and think it will be worth it. i am eventually going to stack a programer, can you stack with that setup?

With analogs you don't need to "read" the gauges, you can tell at a glance how things are, I went with DiPricols as well, a little more than Isspros but look more like the factory gauges.
(my 2¢)

My old Isspros were DEAD on to the factory 2nd Gen instruments, these Optix' s are off, way off.
The Pyro is nice, just about perfect. Fuel pressure and boost are darn near solid blue.
I wonder if writing to Danin would do any good?

Little off topic, but I would have stayed with Isspro (had them on my old truck) if I had known better. It's not the money, but the coloring.

If I get mine in and find the gauges I paid extra for so they match the dash better look the ***** at night I'll be writing letters!!

its a real nice setup . yes you can tell there is a little more power. havent towed with it just drove back and forth to work really like it. and yes you can stack with it.it has a warm up cycle to it and quad has a poll on here there going to add a cool down timer soon. if you buy them together there really cheap i think. lary will give you a discount for buying both together.
