So I'm looking at getting an electronic fuel pressure gauge for my truck. The two mounts I was looking at was the single column mount. The other style I was looking at was a dual guage cluster bezel (mounts by your regular spedo/tach/etc). I already have a triple pillar gauge set that has trans temp/pyro/boost. Is there another gauge that I should get too or just stick with the single fuel pressure gauge? I would get a quad pillar mount but I have switches stuff mounted where that has the 4th gauge placed.

Steering column...

And thats also what you should put in that pod... Better then a fuel pressure gauge!

Dash surround...

If your going to run this pod, your dash has to look like mine...

If it juts out, the pod will not fit. Just keep that in mind...

you could get a HPOP gauge.

One of the most worthless gauges... I wish it was not, because I pushed for years to get one, but once I had a prototype I realized you only have half of the picture, the pressure does not mean much if you dont know how hard the pump is working...

I think my dash juts out so I don't know if that will work. I'll check in the morning as its dark outside and I don't feel like putting shoes on to walk out there. Is the scangauge worth it... I'm reading that it doesn't tell me anything much mroe than I already know. I have a 2000 PSD and from what I read it tells appx fuel, corrected MPH (which I stock size tires so it wouldn't do me any good) and coolant temp. Any other input on this?

Somebody on another forum recommended a gauge cup that is attached to my current pillar pod (on the bottom pod). He had a picture and it looked pretty good as well would be really in-expensive to do.

The scan gauge monitors everything the computer reads. I didn't thing I'd like one but after talking to a few guys that have them I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did

Scan gauge is a very good gauge, I am very happy with mine overall. Needs to go back and get a new face put on it, but I have had it for 3-4 years now.

I'm still trying to figure out how to work the damn thing. It has so many functions.
