This is Todd, Jonathan's brother and I'm going to install a left pillar gauge cluster on the left side window pillar and I would like to know What is the best gauges to install into the three open slots on the Pillar. It has on there now the Vehicle RPM, Oil Pressure and Water Temp but that is also on the front gauge cluster is there anything else that I can install that would serve as a purpose, Please help. I could use some help. Take Care. Todd These gauges are from Hong Kong so the gauged maybe in some stupid language but when I look at them they appear to be in the US format/ The item number for eBay is 370848434399 if you want to check it out and let me know if this is a good buy or not. Please help me out here. Take Care. Todd Z

Clock, outside temperature gauge, compass.

Lol, leave it off. Unless you've got some boost, there's no need for it

EGT, trans temp, air/fuel. My husbands tahoe has those I dont like them they just seem out of place. I guess it's because I'm used to seeing them on ricer cars it just seems weird on a Tahoe. Yes I know they serve a purpose and are completely functional but I'm sure there is a way for it to look better.

Vac, Wideband O2, Trans temp.

Vac gauge will tell ya to get off the go fast pedal more, higher the vac the better fuel atomization thus better MPG.

Wideband O2 will tell ya your Air fuel Precisely, also telling ya to get off the go fast pedal by keeping you out of power enrichment mode. for most ppl this is WOT, but some of us like it as low as 73% TP :)
Alil trick I do to get awesome freeway mpg is to set my cruise at just under my power enrichment but at a steady 14.7 AFR while trying for the highest Vac I can get..
My tune is alil diff than most.

Trans temp, well that ones self explanatory.

One gauge to rule them all, the Interceptor.

Decide on the faceplates that blend in and not stick out ala white gauge on a black A pillar, as they draw ALOT of attention from wood be car thieves.. since they know you have goodies they can sell on craigs.
