Pillar Gauge Pod question

ok, i need an EGT gauge installed, and possibly a boost gauge. Was thinking of putting it on the pillar, but i dont want to lose the handle. Do you know if a 1 or maybe even a two pillar pod will fit under the handle? how do they typically fit and look?

no it will not... only a single will fit under their.... im assuming since your not also getting a trans temp you have a 6speed?

you could always do an overhead pod that mounts next to your rear view mirror...

the overhead pod sounds like it would be a cool idea. and no its a Torqueshift,,, thought the factory trans temp would be ok because i'm not on it a lot.

the factory trans temp gauges is useless.. its just a dummy light... you need an aftermarket trans temp gauge....... if you wait until friday to buy we will be running our black friday sale.... youll get free shipping and the free colored match paint... either way here is a link on the kit: Auto Meter Gauge Kits

here is what the overhead pod looks like:

The stock trans temp is more like an on/off switch. Stick with Raul he'll take care of you.

hmmm, ok. Well, how off is the stock boost gauge too then. was gonna work with only the EGT really. but guess i'll just go ahead and get all 3.

will probably stay with the 3 pillar pod then. dont need the handle THAT bad.

the stock one is accurate until you add a boost fooler and then its not accurate anymore..... my suggestion is to just get all 3...

I'll 3rd the option of getting a tranny temp gauge. I don't currently have one, but I just had warranty done to my tranny because it overheated and destroyed my torque converter and tranny pump. My stock tranny temp gauge didn't even move from it's position of "normal".

I'll be ordering one soon so I can avoid losing my truck for a week and a half.


Not meaning to hijack, but Raul, what would the price be for a tranny temp gauge made by ISSPro? Black face and housing with standard lighting (no special green or blue color). Thanks in advance...
