If you wanna keep the truck looking stock inside, I would recommend the AutoMeter Factory Match gauges. Looks great without a bunch of attention. I got the whole kit from Strictly Diesel. They even sell the paint to match your interior.

We prefer Isspro over any other gauges.

what type of gauges do you perfure???

I have been looking @ gauges also the cheapest priced ones i could fine were @diesel dawgs which was pyro,boost,&trans temp + a piller were around 330 for all and they r Isspro ev line i have heard that they r the best and that is a good price IMHO

1. Sell your Edge Juice
2. Buy a TS 6 position chip from a great vendor here.
3. Buy an exhaust temperature gauge (EGT, pyrometer, pyro, etc) and transmission temp gauge, with install kits from a great vendor here. You can buy a boost pressure gauge as well, but other than the "cool factor" of watching it move, they're really not telling you much useful unless you are A) mechanically inclined and well versed in diesel/turbocharger theory or B) really in tune with your rig.
4. Install the gauges and the TS chip.
5. Go play, just watch your transmission.

You can save money for the rest later as you're gonna find out that your truck will run just fine with the TS chip on setting 4 to satisfy you.

As for vendors, personally, I recommend Diesel Dawgs Performance but because Luke has been straight up and honest with me from clear on the other end of the country for nearly a half-decade now and that kinda thing makes me happy.

cheers.....Dan-
