Wideband is on my wish list too...it's a long list lol.

Wow SilverDog, $250+ for 1 book, that's insane! I can only imagine what it's going to cost by the time my daughter goes to college (she's not quite 3 years old yet).

BTW, here's a shot of my vacuum gauge, can't remember what I spent on it 9+ years ago, but it was relatively inexpensive when compared to what everything else on this truck costs...

Yes I couldn't wait. Went ahead and purchased the full dual pillar along with Autometer Phantom Trans Temp Gauge. Picked up a good looking vacuum gauge for under $10 by APC. Yes some of the books in college cost $250. Both my thermodynamics and mechanical design books were around that a piece. Not trying to scare you but when you pay $180 for a USED book, something is messed up(Just remember, online is your friend).

That's no even the worst part. The worst part is when you go to sell back a book you used for one semester that cost you $250 and they tell you a new edition is coming out and they'll give you $15 for it.
