monitor or gauges - Diesel Forum

I cant decide between a monitor or gauges. Ive been looking at the edge insight and isspro gauges but I just cant decide. I like how the monitor does alot more then egt, boost, trans temp, and fuel pressure. My main concern with the monitor is lag. As of now im leaning towards the monitor its cheaper and looks at alot of different stuff.

I went with the Spartan Phanlanx. As you stated I like to be able to monitor everything possible and the Phalanx does that. Although I think the pod mounted gauages look cleaner vs my monitor suction cuped to the window. A trade off I can except.

I'm kind of a "monitor" guy myself. However, I just recently gave up on my Commander. It has been displaying some strange fuel pressure readings ever since hooking it up in my current truck. Its fuel pressure parameter worked flawlessly in my old 03, but for some unknown reason, I just can't get it to work right in my 06.

I spent the last 6months or more trying to track down the cause, but to no avail.

So I'll soon be running the Insight monitor with an EGT probe, and a Auto Meter Phantom II fuel pressure gauge.
