Hey guys, I want to stick a boost gauge in the truck, what's your opinion on which one looks best? I was thinking the Autometer Phantom. Also, what size gauge did most choose, 2 1/16, or 2 5/8? Lastly, how hard was it to install? (Looks pretty easy, but I'm a world class moron, so I gotta ask anyway...)

Jayman........I believe almost everyone here went with the Autometer 2 1/16" Phantom gauge #5703. There is a black plastic vacuum line that runs under your dash. It has a elbow connection that is just to the left of the ashtray area. Just pull it out and plug in the new vacuum line that comes with the gauge. I personally used a 7/64" "T" fitting so that both the stock and Autometer gauge would work.
Here are some pics of my finished product......
They also supply a green "c0nd0m" that goes over the light so it glows like our factory dash lights. You should have no problem finding this gauge at either

They shipped mine out the same day for like $35.
