I have Autometer Nexus Gauges. Not the ones to get if you're cheap. They are expenssive but I LOVE them. They are easy to install because they actually have a control module that you install under the dash and all the sensors plug into it and one wire goes up to the first gauge and then they daisy chain from there. The gauges work perfect and have never stuck. They use a stepper motor inside. The cheapest place to get them or anyother Autometer Gauge I've found is from www.thunderbolt-motorsports.com who is a seller by that name on eBay. He's a good $50-$100 cheaper per gauge then anyone else on the net. I searched them out long and hard before I bought. I have four in Carbon Fiber Pods on top of my dash. EGT, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure and Nitrous Pressure. I'm buying four more from him and a four pod pillar. I'm getting Trans Temp, Water Temp, Oil Temp and Boost. You can see a demo of the Nexus Gauges on their site.

Thanks guys. This is what I'm talking about, leeching off the experience of others. I did have Autometer gauges in my last truck but I really didn't like the incandescent bulbs so I swapped them out for blue/white LEDS, dressed them up much better and the light level was more uniform.

I have seen the DiPricols at diesel manors site and they looked very impressive so I really appreciate the comments reaffirming their look. I also noticed supporting vendor Mark Craig’s post so I’ll be visiting his site for a look see and possible purchase. Living in Canada can occasionally be a pain for US shipments but all things are possible I guess.

The Nexus gauges are available locally so getting a first hand account is especially appreciated.

So it looks like a 4 gauge pillar for now and either the DiPricols or Autometer set but I do know that I want a set equipped with LEDs, they look so much better regardless of the make.

It’ll be another week or so before I finally decide so please keep the advice coming because I really appreciate everyone’s feedback.
Cheers
