Time for guages, need help

Ok I have looked at literally 100's of threads on guages. I already picked up a color matched 3 guage pod for my 2005 F350. From what I can gather I need to get guages for Trans Temp, Boost, and EGT. I have the XLT package with the black guages panel, so I want guages that match that good. Would love to see pics of your setups to see how they look.

I don't have pictures of mine currently...but, the best matching and quality are these:

Diprocol Optix Black Bezel and face with LED green lighting:

DFUSER.com - Diesel Performance Products Diesel Exhaust Diesel High Performance Part Diesel Intake Diesel Power Chips

They match Perfectly with the factory lights and are high quality. I have tried other brands and they fog up and don't compare!!! IMO go with these!

Here's one pic before I got additional gauges...it shows the color match with the stock guages...would look even better on yours since you have factory black face:

I have been looking at gauges myself and i've settled on the autometer cobalt series gauges.....

here's a link to them: Auto Meter

I like them because of the indigo lighting at night.

But the question i have is: are all the connections the same for all brands, for example: if I wanted the get a different style of gauge later on down the road, would i have to remove all the wiring and probes??

TXfireman, PM unbroken on PSN and ask him what he thinks of diProcol.

Stick with autometer, and the sport comp gauges will match perfectly. If you want a price on the listed gauges, I can get you one.

Get Autometers. I have ISSPRO's right now and my tranny gauge has taken a crap and these gauges are barely a year old. I know people that have had the same set of Autometers for years now and theyre still going strong. Im switching as soon as i can.

I would get your gauges, if your going w/ autometers, from abrannan19..... he gave me a heck of a price for the pillar cover and the 3 gauges!

Now just gotta get the checkbook to agree w/ all my spending here lately!
