hey guys, just got my 06 silverado about 2 months ago and being in college its kinda a slow build process. However i really have wanted a trans temp gauge and i don't like the way the SS cluster would look inside with my tan interior. I like the Socal overhead mount alot and want the cobalt trans temp gauge but that brings me a question. My truck is stock besides exhaust and im getting a wheatley tune very soon. Plan on longtubes this summer then saving up money until i can get a magnacharger probably. Besides the trans temp gauge, what is a good recommendation to put in there with it? The trans gauge will be functional and thats what im going for (don't want to be associated in the ricer style just to look cool with them i want them to serve a purpose). But the 2nd gauge to choose has me confused on what would be a good choice?


Second, the socal overhead mount.....im kinda lost probably stupid question, but what do the switches do? just allow you to turn the gauges off/on??

i just think this setup i found on here looks clean!

 

The switches can do anything you want them too.....

 

ok thanks......

with the electrical gauges, whats all involved in hooking them up?

 

the biggest pain is pulling the wires to the gauges...once you have that done, its pretty simple. Just hook them up per the instructions.

 

alright thanks!

 

instead of JUST a trans temp gauge you could get an aeroforce scan gauge.it would prob eat your budget tho.they are pretty bad azz

im thinking of getting the fuel pressure gauge to go with the trans temp.

 

on the aeroforce site they list fuel pressure as one of the pid's that it reads.
since your plannin on goin FI you could get a boost gauge,or an a/f ratio gauge.
i didnt know what elseto put in the second either so thats why i bought a second aeroforce lol
