Hey fellas...I'm planning on throwing a gauge panel in the Bronco. I figured I'd go with a tach, oil psi, trans temp and water temp. My thoughts were to get a 3 guage panel for 2 1/16" gauges and mount that under the ash tray or in that general vicinity. I'm also not a fan of big gaudy tachs especially not ones hanging on the steering column. So I was thinking I'd get a 2 5/8" tach with an adjustable pedestal and mount by the other gauges. Anyone see any problems with this?
Now for other questions:
-What gauges do you guys use to monitor your rigs? I'm not looking for name brand, but what does the gauge monitor.
-Do you guys prefer mechanical or electric gauges? Pros and cons of each?
-What brands of gauges do you guys recommend? I know there are always the big names, but do you guys have any brands that are still reliable but not gonna cost me $400 for the gauges I want.
-Is there a way to retain the stock oil SU and use an aftermarket psi gauge? It drives me nuts having a dead dummy gauge.
Thanks for any and all input.
