I think trans instead of FP, if you don't want four.

Really what I think is ALL four.

In this order on the A pillar from top to bottom:
1) Boost
2) Pyro
3) Fuel Pressure
Trans temp on a column pod.

Or something like that

check out his site for your gauges, they match the stock gauges very well and the pillar matches the stock pillars as well. http://dieselmanor.com/gauges/gauge_...odge-optix.asp

I've got the autometer Phantom gauges and they match pretty darn good. The gauges seem to be accurate as well. I have Boost,pyro, and tranny temp. I won't use Diesel Manor as They screwed me on my x-mas present. My wife ordered me gauges on Dec. 5th to be here by x-mas. She got concerned when they didn't show up by the 16th and called DM. They said Oh yeah the gauges are backordered you won't be getting them by X-mas. I feel that's terrible customer service especially when they said we'd have the gauges by the 15th.

Put them all on the pillar. Comes color and grain matched. It will look like it came from the factory when it is on there.

Might save you some $$$ depending on what analogs you are looking at as well.

The Commader w/pillar mount is great, no complaints, color matched & great fit, looks like it came from factory.

Got DiPricol FP, Boost and Pyro and an I-Pillar mount from Diesel Manor. If I had an auto I'd have got the trans temp instead of the FP.
I think DiPricols are the closest to my 06 dash gauges.
Hope to put them in this weekend, not looking forward to drilling//tapping the manifold...

Quadzilla Commander doesn't require the chip/computer to act as gauges does it?

No the Commander can be used as a stand alone product.

I thought the Commander siphoned the appropriate gauge signal data from the ECM bus.

No ECM bus needed. The only thing the Commander uses from the truck is the coolant sensor and the MAP sensor. We connect to these either directly or through our module or another modules harness depending on if the truck is stock or not. The EGT and Trans/Oil Sensor are all 100% stand alone.

MMMMM COMMANDER GOOD. CHEAPER TOO. I love mine. Everyone that sees it with the A-pillar mount asks if it is factory. Unless they are a CTD nut like us and know better. Moniters EGT, Boost, F.Press. Rail Pressure, Oil or trans. temp. -, water temp. Also controls modules, has defueling, and warm up mode. Coming soon-turbo cool-down timer. WAIT A DOGGONE MINUTE, ISN'T QUAD SUPPOSED TO BE SAYING ALL THIS! Good Value, good product. Whatever a person likes, I like factory looks and lots of functions.
