I ended up ordering the Quadzilla commander since it will monitor 7 functions I also ordered the fule pressure sending unit for it so I will have EGT-TRANS-BOOST-FUEL PRESS.  I will automatically defuel at my preset paramiters.  I like the fact it is all displayed on a 4in LCD screen and will be mounted on the pillar.  I just didn't want to end up with 3 guages on the pillar and one on the column.  We will see how it works.  I have 4.11 gears in my truck and it has 285's for now headed fro 315's.

As far as towing with mine I pulled a V-8 FJ55 on my buddies 26ft equipment trailer and the truck did well.  I had the TST @ "O" though I didn't want to hurt anything with the box on till the Quadzilla gets here. 

I feel your pain with time and kids.  Both mine are in Softball and we are gone at least 4 nights a week with games and practices.  Mine are a little more self  sufficient though they are 13 and 8.

I want to drag the cruiser down to Cali next spring or summer for a couple of weeks and wheel. 

I leave in the Diesel the first of Aug headed to Colorado for a class for 6 weeks.  Can you say road trip:)

Thanks for the info freds40
