gauges. Which 3 should be put on first?

OK. I have a 99.5 bone stock truck. I am gonna start to get some goodies. I understand the first thing I should get is gauges.

I know pyro gauge, but then I am not sure.

Pyrometer for EGT, Boost and Trans temp if you have a auto trans. I will PM you the best place to buy the gauges. I only run Isspro as they are very high quality. Check your PM's

Pyro, boost, trans temp
I prefer autometer gauges. I have always used autometer, and never had a problem.
Its all really personel opinion.

I know it is just personal opinion, but that is what I am looking for in this case.
Thanks,

Autometer sells more styles but they also have a higher return rater per thousand. Isspro makes a perfect match for the factory gauges and has a much lower return rate. I found the info on return percentage back when I was looking for gauges many years ago. I think what can make the difference is where you buy the gauges and their customer service. The info I sent you is the best C.S. I have ever found.

If you go for a quad pillar, get a fuel psi gauge.

I had a problem with my Autometer, but was able to repair myself. It was a wire that was not secured properly and would interfere with the interior of the gauge.
