It is for the electronic locker. It is available on every trim level I believe.

Per y'alls request......

The gauges are made by a place called Speedhut http://www.speedhut.com .
The specific gauge that I bought for our FX2 Ecoboost was their Revolution series +30/-30 boost gauge with peak boost memory http://www.speedhut.com/custom_gauge...number-614.htm

Here's the specifics for the gauge I ordered:

1. Black Face,
2. White numerics (Euro Style),
3. Glow red pointer,
4. Reverse white glow through the numerics @ night (background remains black),
5. Revolution silver bezel and
6. Red with white outlined "FX" above dial center that glows red at night

These guys are located out of Provo, Utah and are a REAL STANDUP group of individuals. Their prices are a tad more expensive, but their product is AMAZING! I literally took a picture of the red "FX" on the inside of my dash and sent it to them so that they could match it!

My recommendation for anyone else interested in ordering a gauge from them is to call and speak with them personally to describe, in GREAT detail, EXACTLY what it is you're after! If you happen to be after the "FX" logo, there' s a good chance they'll still have it on their files.

Hope this helps y'all.

How was the gauge mounted? Electrical or mechanical?

Wowsers that's expensive! I payed 130 for mine with the vent bracket shipped to my house. It does look nice but I think I'll stick with what I have lol.
Thanks for all the info tho!!!
PS, why did you decide to go with the 30 PSI gauge? The max boost our trucks should be putting out is 20/PSI. The max Vacuum I've seen with or without a tune is 20/inHG

I've been known to spend a littttttle extra from time to time if I feel the quality of the product is worthwhile. In the case of the Speedhut gauge, it was a no brainer for me as the gauge mimics something that "appears" as though it could have been factory stock (OEM).

Why did I go +30/-30? Well, you just never know what may find its way under the hood sometime down the road.......

It will spike at 18-19psi real quick and then settles at 16psi when going WOT.

This is a screenshot from earlier today doing a a couple WOT runs going onto the highway. The red arrow means the highest recorded reading and the yellow means the lowest recorded reading.
