I was wanting to add one pillar gauage to my 02. I was wanting to do a tranny temp. Does anybody make a mount that keeps the OE grab handle? All the ones that I've seen all loose the handle.

Other options for a single gauge are a steering column pod, or mounting the gauge in the cover which surrounds the steering column (just right of the steering column).
Mitch...one comment about your feedback on a oil presure gauge. I respectfully disagree. I'll sum it up with a story. I once blew the filter mount off my Mustang one day (that's a separate story...completely my fault and not a reason to fear remote oil filters). The first funny indication I noticed was rapidly and quickly fluxtuating oil presure...tell tale signs of loss of quantity. I didn't sexid guess anything...I immediate shut her down. Next I noticed the trail of oil on the road behind me which I did not notice before hand. Had I not had a gauge that day, odds are extremely likely I would have kept driving until the noise and what-not was apparent to make me shut it down, and in that case you would be correct in that the damage would have been done. But due to the gauge, it bought me SEVERAL critical seconds that day and no doubt saved me my motor. Just food for thought, not baggin on ya at all; but you know that!!

It's actually a very recent picture...there are still Legacy jets flying around.
I am one of very few, and the only guy in AMC dual certified to fly both AMP and Legacy!

I want to install a vacuum gauge in my F150. Does anyone have a recommendation for brand, type, etc.?
I prefer a 2 5/8, with good lighting - but i have no clue as to what brands are junk, or which are good. I've seen prices from $15 to well over a $100.
mounting recommendations would be nice as well.
thanks for your time.
