Trans Temp ???

The boost should be OK but the tranny temperature is the same old story. It tells you what the PCM wants it to tell you; too little too late.

I have the X-Monitor on my truck and like it real well. Don't take up as much room as the 3 or 4 on the A-pillar.

You will enjoy your new truck, and will love it when pulling that RV.

That guage looks pretty sweet. Do the analog style guages use sending units etc or are they mechanical? I would think that mechanical might be more reliable over time, or does it really mater any more with todays electronics?

BigBrother44, Personally I prefer the pillar style gauges. Normally the boost is a mechanical gauge (pressure tube), egt and trans temp are electric with sending units. I trust the old school gauges over the new electronic multi-gauges.(X-Monitor) I don't think that one is better than they other, it's more about personal preference. Most of us here prefer pillar gauges.
