gauges

Hi Folks,
New to this forum, and proud new owner of Dodge Turbo Cummins.
I've seen alot mentioned about gauges to monitor temps, etc. Could someone please advise me which essential gauges I should consider, and a good place to buy them?

First, you need to fill in your signature so we'll know what kind of truck you have.

signature

I have an '05 Dodge 2500 CTD completely stock... only 2500 miles. Hope that helps, I filled out the signature but it may be too new to show. Any help is appreciated!

There are three essential gauges you need they are, pyro, boost, and trans temp, fuel press. is also available, but not completely neccessary.

If you have an automatic most people recommend a transmission temp gauge especially if you tow. You probably want to monitor exhaust gas temps (EGT), Boost and fuel pressure.

On the boost guage. What is the normal boost range of a 2005 auto with a XZT box 30 or 60 And will the Dipricol gauges fit in the SRT-10 A Pillar?

Where to buy?

Anyone have any input on a particular gauge manufacturer, and where to get it? Also, I should've mentioned it's an automatic trans...

I have a couple buddies with 05's and I was wondering if anyone still sells the side-by-side dual gauge pod on the A-Pillar? I remember seeing it a while back but can't find it anymore.
