Gauges and mounting
The first item on the list for the 06 CTD is to put a set of guages on it. It will be the standard EGT, Boost and tranny temp and maybe fuel pressure. I like the Autometer NV's and the Cobalt blue. So here's the question.
Can I install these myself, and where can I get a dash mount for the '06 like DieselDemon has on his with the Cobalt Blue's? I checked out Geno's Garage but I couldn't find a mounting system for three or four gauges for this truck.
For what it's worth, I want to start with the gauges so I can monitor changes as I add other mods compared to stock.

thats a good way to do it. I have the SRT-10 grab handle for my Westach dual boost egt gage.
I know Geno's has the gage pods somewhere. I saw them the last time I was at the warehouse.

Autometer Cobalt Blue, or Cobalt 2 series. Very easy to install, and they are very precise! I have a pic at home. Mayfair can hook ya up and show ya what a bank of Cobalts looks like.
My only problem with them is they are a super bright gauge at full power. And trust me, if you attach them to your current dash light, dimmer circuit, your next post will be "My Headlights Quit On My 06 Ram - HELP".......lol.
They have to be dimmed seperately.
Ok dude, good luck with your new ride.

DieselDemon, that is some sage advice there, I appreciate it. I'll have to research a little and see if the NV's are as bright also.
I'll check back at Geno's for that cluster, I was thinking he had one for '05...maybe it would fit an '06. Might have to pick up the phone and call.
