    I put a scangauge in mine mounted over the rear view mirror. monitors everything except oil pressure.
    For some reason Toyota does not monitor oil pressure :confused:

    He’s determined to get the A-pillar pods. Form over function.

    Scan gauge II. I have mine set for trans 1&2, Voltage and water temp. I forget it’s there but when I need it it’s easy to see it clearly.

    Well I would rather the clean look of the pillar gauge cluster than the small digital readout. But to each is own....

    For many of us, the ‘cleaner look’, and that itself is debatable, is not worth the tradeoff of cost and lack of info compared to what you can get out of an Ultragauge/Scangauge. Just having the AT temp reading is worth its price of admission. But it is your truck, we are just providing a general perspective.

    Dirty is fine by me. In this case anyway.

    Thanks for all the feed back I do like the scan gauge above the rear-view ,clean look it’s tempting... but I still think I’m going to stick to my guns and go on the mission of a gauge pillar with oil pressure and a volt meter... I’ll post pics and a Wright up when I’m done
