Default 3rd Gauge

My girlfriend bought me a triple pillar pod and I have no idea what to put as the 3rd gauge. I'm doin' EGT and boost. The truck is a stick so there's not much need for trans temp, and my water temp in the dash is fine so I don't need that.

Fuel pressure no questions asked hands down, every 6.0 on the planet should have one.

Next two gauges should be coolant temp and oil temp.

Fuel pressure...

And FYI, if the HPOP goes out... the truck shuts off.

Oil temp, Coolant temp, Diff temp... you can go on and on...

So there is actually a gauge you don't have in your truck? Wow. I didn't think that was possible.

I actually just checked the list of gauges he posted he had on PSN, he doesn't have an HPOP gauge! Must of run out of room in the cab for gauges? .
