And I despise digital gauges and am an information junky.

I'm still waiting for someone to figure out a way to hack the LCD screen and add gauges to that.

Pillar gauges are useful in Diesels. I wouldn't put em in a half ton. Unless youve done heavy modding

Explain the difference please. I've spent the last 12yrs modifying diesels so I'm well aware of what they do for them but Id love to hear your reasoning behind why a turbo charged gas engine doesn't need them. Especially considering diesels are far more forgiving to poor tuning than a gas engine.

I know more than a few camaros, vettes, mustangs, and vipers that will beg to differ.

I consider tuning heavier modding. The gauges are pointless on a stock truck (other then looks) IMHO.

Ah. Ok. My mistake. I'm tuned and plan on turbo and fueling upgrades in the future.
