Ideas for gauges

Anyone have any nice clean gauge instalation on a 2007 3500 whose idea I might steal? I like the A pillar but I also like the grab handles too.
Any thoughts/Ideas are appreciated. Thanks

decide what and where you want to mount..buy the stuff from the DTR store and install.
unless you custom make a pod then all there is to choose from is A-pillar mount in 1pod, 2pod or 3pod, steering column mount (1 or 2 pod) and over head console mount..

pretty much the same install on all year trucks

Crobar, get yourself an SRT A pillar mount that has a single gauge pod and retains the handle.

Then get a single gauge with dual function egt+boost like this Westach (there are others that may better suit your specific needs better than this particular gauge)

You're all set

The Commander with the A-pillar mount is the cleanest way I know of to run just gauges and keep the handle.

Here is an idea of pictures:

Guages are not hooked up but I though you guys would like to see a pic. I have one final coat to put on and then I will paint it...

The pic doesn't do it justice at all. All the guages are perfect!! It looks as though the Fuel Pressure guage is pointed towards the passenger but it is actually pointed right at you!!!

I am getting pretty anxious to get them done and installed .... Just got too much going on!!! Which sucks.. I have gotten a lot done on them. I am looking into a different type of finish so it might take me a couple of days to get the finish on and what not.

The RECON would work well to but, the original poster said he liked gauges on a pillar? Just trying to show him the options for what he want.

So far, for what he asked for the Commander is the only thing that fits unless he wants to run a single analog gauge.

He could also run the Outlook or Xmonitor depending on what he is wanting to monitor. The Outlook does not do fuel pressure, transmission or coolant. The Xmonitor does not do rail pressure or coolant and it is like the RECON in that you have to choose fuel pressure or tranmission, not both.

I should have elaborated further but did not want to limit the suggestions.
Want to start with Boost, Exh Temp and fuel pressure. I really like the old analog gauges like the ones that were in the airplane I sold in order to buy the new 07 toy.
