Anybody have the X-monitor?

[JSzewczyk]

I finally had time to look through the Geno's catalog and I'm debating about which products to use. I was going to go with ISSPRO dash mounted cluster of three gauges plus a fuel pressure gauge in the single pillar mount. This was my plan since I bought the truck. However, after seeing the options in the catalog i was thinking of going with the dash mounted x-monitor for the transmission temp, egt, boost and ten putting the same fuel pressure gauge in the single pillar mount. I was hoping that some you would give me the pros and cons of both ideas. Also how does the x-monitor dash mount llo compared to the other option. I have never seen it dash mounted. Which one will do you believe is a better plan for my 06 Mega cab??

I went with the X-Monitor because I didn't want to lose the grab handle. It mounts, nicely, just under the handle.



It works fine. Once in a great while, the sun shines at a certain angle & reflects on the face of the monitor. But, that's very rare.



The guage has a memory function so that you can see your highest & lowest numbers. Used that once testing a new box. Nice to have, though.



Don't know anything about the dash mount. However, I would have the most important guages mounted where you can easily read them.



If you are towing a tailer in the mountains with windy roads, you don't want to have to take your eyes too far off the road to check guages.
