ok guys. Im tires of not being able to see what my gauges should be telling me. So what im asking is what gauges should I use. I do tow so i want to monitor more than just the engine. Gauge wise I was thinking tranny temp, oil pressure and water temp. If I want more i think im going to do what pat did and do a custom gauge pod in the dash. Tell me what all yall think about which ones i should get. thanks

 

Get an ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter and use the Torque Pro android app. Then you can play around and see several different types of gauges.

 

i would but. I want actual gauges that I can see while im driving so I have them in my line of sight while Im driving.

 

That's why I bought a mount for my phone and put it right next to the A pillar.

This model works with Ford:


For $10, why not?

 

those were the 3 i used before i went supercharged.

 

Transmission temp, Water Temp, and another one lol. And don't cheap out on them, get Autometer or GloShift.

 

Im going to get autometer gauges for sure. I just purchased a apillar triple gauge pod. Also do i need electric or mechanical gauges?

 

electric!!

 

Sweet, Thanks Josh!

 

Electric is a lot easier to install.

 

Not only that. Who wants oil and fluids running into their cab. Lines break.

 

yup!

 

Ummmmm...excep for oil pressure, mechanical gauges don't have fluid running to the gauge. And many guys run mechanical gauges; lines breaking isn't exactly a common problem. Electric is easier to install, yes; but the full sweep of a mechanical gauge looks soooo much better. You can get full sweep electric, but now you're getting expensive.

 

Here's my gauges…got a little carried away.

I don't think I need that many lol. I think ill be getting autometer cobalt or c2s so that theyll match my autometer lunar series cluster (when I get it )
