Default Gauge Pod

Been looking for a pillar post mounted dual gauge pod. Of course there isn't one made specifically for the 05 and up Dakotas. There is one made for the 97-04 Daks and one for the Rams. Was wondering if anyone has used either of these for the 05 and up Daks and how it worked. A photo would be awesome.

I would have to measure the pillar panel to see how close it is to the other gen dak or ram... why not fiberglass on a universal?
Just oil pressure and water temp for now. If in the future I decide to go with cams and a SCT tune, I would need a wide band AF gauge.

Never played with fiberglass. Was thinking if the earlier Dakota pods were fairly close, I could heat it up with a heat gun and make it fit.

Guy named hemifever is an authorized SCT custom tuner, he can tune our 4.7's. Do a user name search to find him. He puts a custom flash into the SCT programmer. Once you have it, any tune updates are emailed. He recommends having a wide band AF gauge to dial it in. We didn't talk $ but I'm sure it will be fairly spendy ordeal. Just for the wide band AF gauge it's around 275.00, + or -, depending on which brand you get.
