I believe someone makes a digital gauge for your truck. Don't quote me on it, I don't even know who makes it. I have heard that they are a pain to read though, since all your readings are on the same gauge. I don't like the idea of looking at my gauge reading for an extended period when I should be keeping my eyes on the road. In my opinion the regular gauges are easier to read, just a quick glance is enough. I installed Diprocal white faced in mine last week. My only complaint is the bulb doesn't keep them well lit, enough to read though.

Nordskog makes individual digital gauges for EGT, boost, and fuel pressure. Mine are on order right now. They do have a 0-30 psi fuel pressure gauge, but it's not currently shown on their website.

I prefer good old mechanical gauges with some dials!

I think there is a brand called Dakota Digitals. Ask Big Blue about the digitals he ran and why he took them out.

Be a 21st century ANALOG MAN!!

Isspro makes a nice gauge called the EV (is that what you have MK?)

I have Autometer Sport Comps mounted on the pillar - standard black faced, red dial, perfect back lighting - matches the other gauges on the dash so there's no focal or optical adjustment necessary when switching views.

You have them on the pillar? I was worried about making that huge pillar even bigger by putting gauges up there, so I got the Autometer dash pod. From looking at the Spas, it seemed like they might be a little tough to read if I put them way out there in the middle of the dash up by the windshield.

Rambob,

Yes EV's. I should have stated that. Only Isspros worth getting.


jfpointer,

My gauges in the pod line up with the steel a-pillar almost perfectly. No extra obstuction. It may be partly because I sit with the seat all the way back. I have a pic in my gallery made before I repainted the pod with the factory color.

BD X-monitor is digital and flashes warnings at you - adjustable warning parameters, mounts on a-pillar down low so no blocking your view, and has optional adjustable cooldown timer.
