Basic Guages

[Layton]

Was wondering what guages I should install (if any) in my 03 lb7, also, what pillar i should get to fit the guages. Thanks.

Depends on what you're wanting to do. If you are leaving the truck stock, no gauges are needed. If you tow heavy and have a tune, a pyrometer is a good idea. I have a built motor, and the only gauge I have is a pyrometer for when I tow and testing new tunes.

I don't like pillar gauges, personally. My pyrometer is down by my parking brake release lever under the knee bolster. You can get mounts that put the gauges in the overhead console too.

CS2 or CTS2 with probe is all you need in my opinion.

I run a boost and an EGT gauge. I think both are important even on a stock truck, they can let you know about a problem before it's too late.

EGTs, Engine oil temp, boost, would be my three..
If staying​ Stock tune wouldn't bother with any

Imo heavy Trailer is more than 10000lbs

Thanks for the feedback!

I have EGT, Boost and Rail Pressure gauges. I like the rail pressure because it lets you know if you have any fuel delivery problems.
