I am also looking at adding gauges to my 2004. I am thinking about the Quadzilla deal. It monitors 7 different things and displays 4 at once. I found them for about $300. That is close to the same price a 3 gauge pillar. Why not go with the Quadzilla?

I'm gonna swim upstream here again. Being involved in manufacturing for 20+ years you get used to shooting for the "mean" or middle of the tolerance. (ie 0 - 60 the mean is 30). I figure I would rather run a guage at it mean than it's extremes. Just my $0.02 worth. Same reason I pull a camper that only weighs 9800 lbs max with a truck that can pull 12750 lbs.

First of all Welcome Aboard jo !! I'm glad to see you chose MY thread to put your first post in


Like Drew said, I kinda prefer the analog gauges over the digital. I know the Quad is a better deal as my set up was close to 500 beans, but I just like the look better. Yeah ... I'm weird

Nick - Wouldn't going with the 0-35 be the "mean" for me? If I rarely get up to 30 lbs and more than likely will be in the teens isn't the 35 the gauge to go with?

Mayfair, if you wanted to see what they looked like, those were myu gauges in the ctd video. You'll do fine with the 35# gauge. Mine bearly breaks 35# with all the stuff i've done.
