How important are boost and air to fuel guages?
#11
Jegs and summit both make 1 and 2 gauge pillar pods that fit. I've seen the paint for the beige interior also. I just cant remember where. the body shop at my dealer just mixes to match.

I have the Autometer 2 pod A-Pillar gauge pod in my 02 Yukon. I have a boost gauge and fuel pressure. The pod came in plack, but I painted it to match. I got the paint from an auto body paint store. The guy looked up the paint code and custom mixed me what I needed. It came out perfect. It even matched the right satin look.

Great news! Thanks! I ordered a can from Jegs yesterday.
I'm considering the 2 or 3 guage A pillar pod and I'm considering fabricating something in the console.
Right below the dash the console in my truck houses a cassette player and below that a storage compartment. My measurements indicate that if I take the tape player out (I also have a CD and have never used the cassette) there would be plenty of room for a 2 1/16" guage above the storeage compartment and it is 9" wide so there would be plenty of room for 3 guages across that area. It should be pretty simple to make an insert out of black plastic or metal (have it powder coated) and house the guages there. I think it could be made to look like it was factory installed.
On the other hand I think the A pillar pod is pretty cool looking.
What 3 guages do I need? Boost and ....... ? AF mix? Trans temp?
I've heard that the stock trans and the stock dash are already wired for a Trans Temp guage and that all I have to do is get a stock guage face from a HD truck which comes stock with a trans temp guage. True? Maybe an aftermarket guage face with a white face to kinda match the Auto Meter Phantom guages?
Whaddaya think?

Which in dash white guage face are you using? I like the match with the Phantom guages. If it's aftermarket where did you get yours?
I see that Stylin has several choices but I've come to be leery of their prices and shipping charges. On some items they do great but as soon as I trust them and don't compare they have jabbed me pretty good.
