Default What Guages to get? *Post Pics*
Ok, with my new transmission I want to keep track of the trans temp. I want to have a pillar setup in my car with three guages. What guags is everyone else running, and where is the best place to buy the pillar pods and guages?

Get the Interceptor Gauge. Is like 20+ gauges in one, including trans temp. Its the lower one in the pic. Also you can scan for codes and erase them, cool little fellow!!

saxd: I see that you got the new version of their gauge. Very sweet. I may need to replace mine for a set of those.

Expensive but I LOVE my Cobalts:











Also consider all the II versions out there (Ultra-Lite II, Pro-Comp II, etc...) as they are all lit with LED's like my Cobalts...

Another chance to ***** out my car's pics. Despite the fact that theres thousands of threads on this

Cobalt Water and Oil temps. You really should look into an interceptor gauge though.
