I'm about to start upgrading the performance of my '06 6.0, but the first thing I want to do is add gauges.
I don't want to do the A-pillar install because I like the handle. In fact, I'm not even sure I want traditional dial gauges. I think I want to do an electronic monitor like the livewire or quadzilla commander.
Please consider that my future plans (probably 1-2 years away) are to add an SCT programmer. I do not have any modifications yet. Right now I'm only trying to figure out which gauges to install.
I have a few questions:
1. My only performance modifications to my truck in the near future will be exhaust and intake. My truck has stock boost, oil pressure, water temp and trans temp gauges. Is it even neccessary to add gauges yet or should I wait until I add an SCT and add gagues then?
2. Is there any reason (such as accuracy) that the dial gauges would be better over electronic?
3. What are the primary differences in features/functionality of the Livewire vs. the Commander?
4. I really like the Commander's A-piller mount. It fits under the handle, so it doesn't have to be removed. What mounting options are there for the livewire?
Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can so I can do things right the first time and not have to "learn the hard way." Thanks in advance.
