I am thinking of adding some gauges to my 03 Terminator, to help me keep an eye on the conditions of the car that can't be seen while driving.
I'm leaning toward an A-pillar pod, but the only reason is because that's what I'm familiar with and what I've always used in my diesel trucks. I've seen the "cluster bezel" that replaces the factory gauge cluster and holds 2 gauges, and noticed that several members here are using those. Is that a better option in these cars, than the A-pillar pods?
How do you have your gauges set up in your car, and what do you like/dis-like about your current configuration?
When I bought the car, the previous owner gave me some spare parts that he had not installed yet. One of the parts I found in the boxes was a New-In-The-Box Autometer 7104 Boost gauge. I'm certain this would have to be more accurate than the factory boost gauge in the cluster, right?
How difficult is it to install gauges in these cars....as far as tying in the gauges to sensors etc. so they can get accurate readings?
Lastly, what is most important to monitor with aftermarket gauges in these cars? I know in my diesel trucks I've always monitored Boost, EGTs, and Transmission Temperature.....but I'm sure there's different priorities in these cars.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions, and sorry for all the questions...... I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about my new ride!
