Just out of curiosity, why would you need or want a 2nd volt meter?

I really like this piece. I wasn't crazy about the pillar mounts and couldn't find anyway to mount the transmission temperature gauge I liked. I was going to not have one and didn't at first but finally added one to the pillar. If I had seen this I would have done it instead. Looks way better to me. I really like it.

Hey J415, I dont think you get the farming side of owning a truck. It is an investment.....and if you do it right and take care of it, it will take care of you. First off, ever tried to take a honda civic in a worked field? Or how bout look at the prices you are going to pay a semi to come out to your place to haul cattle to the sale barn? And thats if you have a big enough operation to sell 60 head or more at a time. Ever seen someone put a $5000 bale bed on a beat up truck thats not worth $500? Gotta feed cattle somehow and round bales dont fit too well in the trunk.

mount looks good purple. Too bad i have no cubby... im gonna end up making a new aluminum instrument panel with some nice aftermarket gauges. idk why dodge built trucks without a tach, and a useless huge fuel gauge in its place...

They did that because basically an AT doesn't need one. Although it would be nice, it is not as important as having one with a stick.

still, they need to fill the empty tach position with a fuel gauge? they couldnt find something else to fit there? rawr. a tach could be helpful with an AT, who knows.
