Are digital gauges accurate? Like egt, boost, temp and such. Ive heard from one extreme to the other.

Depends on the gauge and senders...
Got some in mine that are dead nuts accurate, adjustable and respond instantaneously...

:iagree: .. the most important part of any gauge is the sender; whether it's digital or not, if the sender is out-of-spec, so is your gauge.
The other part of the system you might be concerned with is the latency of the reading; digital gauges that are always changing are unreadable... the numbers have to stay put long enough to be read, and must represent the middle of the last x number of readings.

I'm quite satisfied with my Dakota Digital gauges...

I kinda like the all 3 in 1 gauge set up, but the gauge appears to be big and gawdy. Just trying to figure out which way to go.

I agree, I like my watches with hands as well.

I like my Autometer Cobalt digital gauges. I put them in the overhead console without the angled mount. Analog gauges would read wrong at than angle.

Very true. I'm kidding, I like digital gauges, and they're a lot more precise. It's also (usually) easier to set up alarms and warning lights at various thresholds with them.
I need a recorded voice that says "STOP THE DAMN TRUCK!!" when the oil pressure drops, just in case the wife is out with it some day...
(and I will deny ever saying that, so don't bother.)
