Guages

bigjeepinyj · March 4, 2004

I am looking into getting a pillar mounted gauge pod. I have

heard that the three gauge pod put the top gauge close to your face. I

I am looking at using the autometer lunar gauges (Boost, Pyro).

This is a pic of the tranny gauge

Does anyone on here have some comments or pics of their setup?

Thanks:D

I have a two-gauge pod from Autometer with Isspro EGT and boost gauges. Overlays the factory A-pillar and has the hole for the tweeter if you have the Bose stereo.

Should take some pictures of it now that I have the Juice Attitude mounted beside the pod on the top of the dash.

Yeah I would like to see some pics of that. I am looking at getting the attitude right now instead of getting the gauges, since it has its own.

PICS!

I have the AutoMeter Pyro and Boost on a two guage pillar. I've almost hit my head on the two guage pillar while offroading...I can see the three guage getting a little too close for comfort.

Me and several people I know have all had to get our autometer boost guages replaced by the Mfg. They would stick for several minutes and then run normal for the rest of the duration. No big deal, though, AM was fast to replace

I installed my EGT gauge in the cubby hole next to the HVAC controls. This location would only work if you were just installing on gauge or a dual read gauge like the SPA.

There are pics on my signature, they are the last ones at the bottom of the album.

Ok, I'll try to get some pics this weekend. I have the gauges along side of the Attitude which is mounted on the dash.

I like the larger gauges so having the EGT/Boost on the Attitude really isn't that a big deal to me. But, if you want to save some cash then that's the way to go.

I want to try to rig it up so that the EGT is fed to both gauge and 'tude so I can use the EGT backdown feature. Doubt I'll ever get that hot, but what the heck!

Thanks for the pics that is awesome. I bet that baby will haul some....

I would like to have the gauges also then get the attitude with the juice. I think that it would be hard to look at the attitude to read the numbers.

I think it's easier to see an needle going around out of the corner of my eye than reading a number count up and down. You can set up the Attitude to display two bar graphs to represent EGT, Boost, etc, but I still think the needles are better.

Yeah, it moves pretty good. Best 0-60 is 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a 6500+lb truck. I'm sure I can get better when the weather gets warmer and the roads get stickier. Not to mention I still have some #1 fuel in the tank which doesn't help any either. I may have throw the 4-wheel drive in and see if I can get some traction.
