Default Auxiliary Gauges

ok, so now you guys have me concerned.
I think I need to get a transmission temp gauge before I pull my #5000 camper much more. I've seen gauges mounted on the windshield / door post and think they look pretty cool. Anyone know where I can find them?
Also, buying the molding and doing all that for just one gauge seems like a waste. Any suggestions on what else would be a good idea to keep an eye on?
Thinking engine oil, rear end temp, vacuum, fuel pressure, something along those lines....
I've see those post mounts with 3 gauges, would probably not need more that that.

Any suggestions?

If I got a three hole pod I would get Engine Oil Pressure, vaccum, and Trans Temp. Mounted in the Autometer pod that goes on the dash with ISSPro gauges of course.

Thanks for the guage links. Where do you tie the vacuum guage in?

For the dash mounted pod... do you know if it can that be installed without removing the dash?

The triple pod is mean to be mounted on top of the dash. Why would you remove the dash?

I think he was referring to the install, hiding the cables going to where they need to be and tying the guage lights into the dash lights.

The dash pod is held in place by the screw in the center of the dash under the windshield so it'll mount just fine without removing the dash. Running the wiring so it's not ugly, well... an exercise left to the reader.
