Default AUX gauge pillar

I havent been able to find a AUX pillar gauge set up anywhere for sale? Do they even make them for 2006 dakotas? I would prefer the pillar gauge set up (like of the full size rams) mount over the, dash and underdash pods. I wanted to install a tranny temp gauge, oil pressure, and maybe a battery gauge.

You know you just might be right, I checked where I got mine for my Ram and they only had them for '97-'04 Daks, so I did a quick search at the three truck accessory shops I normally go to for stuff and all three had them - but just for '97-'04 Daks also...

There are none for our trucks. Some of the members have fabbed up a couple with some fiber glass on the existing pillar... you are out of luck. They do however have some for the steering wheel column like you said you didnt want though...

I believe some people have modified pillar pods intended for the 3g Rams but there is none that I know of specifically for our trucks.

Auto Meter ATM-15014

I got off of summit racing.

Its described as fitting only the 03-08 rams but it will work in your truck with no modifications.
