I would like to apologize in advance if this has been discussed before. I did a search and couldn't find it.

I just got my new truck and there seems to be lots of options available on how to setup and display your dash. I'm not sure what the best setup is yet, but I added the Turbo Boost gauge and then set my Speed as my main item in the center just because it's easier to see a big number rather than look at the Analog looking guage.





Show me your setups, let me know if I'm missing anything neat that should be displayed full time.

Thanks

 

IF you are towing a heavy rig I would put the tranny temp back up.

Other than that it really is just personal preference.

I usually scroll through the tire press., fuel usage bar and digital speed like you're showing.

 

I display reruns of the golden girls on my instrument cluster.

 

I also use the turbo gauge, but would switch if towing. In the center I leave it on fuel economy. I have a lead foot and the constant dash readout helps me drive more conservatively.

 

Press the + button to display the individual gears, it'll allow you to instantaneously see what gear the trans is in. I usually have the instantaneous MPG screen showing.

 

If anybody knows where I can find one of these 8" instrument clusters used I sure would appreciate the help/info!

 

I do the turbo gauge, the instant gas mileage (it really has changed my driving habits), and the current gear indicator.

 

Also, I've never reset trip 1 since the day I got it so that i can see the lifetime mpg. (I never got around to manually tracking it).

 

I have mine set up the same as you, swapped in the turbo gauge and also keep my main display as the speedometer

 

I don't know if you noticed, but if you find a few gauges you like you can save them as favorites in the left most menu so that you can use the up and down arrows to switch between them easily.
