Question which gauges???

Hello all,
I'm a newby here and to diesel power as well. I bought my 01 Ram just under 2 months ago and I LOVE IT. My question is, with the simple mods listed in my signature, which gauges do I need? If it is more than 3 where would I put them all. I am thinking of adding a pillar pod for 3 gauges and if I need more where would they likely go. If I can get away with only the triple pillar, which ones should I add? Thanks so much. Any Info. s very appreciated.

If you just want three, I would say Pyro and FP are musts. And tranny temp if you tow, boost if not. But ideally you would have all four.

And welcome to DTR!

I agree. I did a custom guage pod, I have 5, 4 from isspro, and 1 from quadzilla. A Pyro is a must, then fuel pressure a close second. From there, boost, and when you start running bigger mods, a rail pressure guage is a good thing, too. Don't let what is on the market limit what you do with your guages. Once I fill mine up with 2 more, (oil and something else...) I'm gonna fiberglass it and paint it to match the dash. There are some other pretty good DIY guage mouts around here...

Mine...
