Question Gauges

The only gauges I have currently in truck are stock gauges in dash. Of course you guys know these things don't give any readings other than high or low. My question is can I put isspro gauges in the dash to replace stock gauges? I am doing some upgrades over the next couple of months and plan on putting me a piller mount gauge pod in with a pyrometers gauge, hoop gauge and fuel pressure gauge. That will pretty much fill up the piller mount and don't really want a bunch of gauges all over dash or under dash but would like more than just a high/low reading. Know what I mean

really can't replace the guages in the dash, they are not like the older cars that had actual guages built into the dash, these guages are basically a circuit board with micro motors for the needles. They make nice 3 and 4 pod pillar mounts and also some nice overhead mounts.

That's what I figured so will I be able to disconnect gauges in dash or just have to live with them and install what I want?

just leave the stockers alone, then add what you want.

Going to put a sct tuner in. Have not really thought about putting a monitor in. Not sure but I think the sct will monitor everything also. Not sure cause I have looked at so many things over the past two days. Going to do something cause I don't want to ghetto up my baby

The sct isn't. Moniter unless you get the livewire and polls around here are to go with the sct hand held with a edge cts moniter
