    Looking to pick one of these up soon. What are the pros/cons of either of these? Any benefits to one over the other?

    Looking for some firsthand feedback and some install pics of how you set yours up?

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Biggest differences from what I ca tell is the scan gauge will show you your tranny temp. I believe the ultra gauge doesn't.

    And price..

    And ultra Guage makes the abs light come on. Pull a pin from the chord and it solves that issue tho..

    I have an ultra Guage in my dbl cab. It's pretty nice.

    I have a UG...havent had any problems with it so far, it's actually pretty fucking amazing. I love the inst. MPG gauge. I also really dig the bigger display on the UG compared to the SG, and the price...

    used the suction mount to attatch it to the bottom left of my windshield, just unscrewed the lower part of the dash to get the wires ziptied cleanly, works like a charm

    You're 40 years old.. I would hardly call that old!

    Still forgiven.

    EDIt: I think the more expensive one gives you more options.. like monitoring things. THere might be a group buy going on right now

    I like the ultra gauge, bigger tires and a regear put my speedo at roughly 20 mph over so I calibrated the UG to my true speed and only use that
