Ordering Guages - need a little help

I got issues my friends

Looking to order guages for my 2000 F250 7.3 and I would like to match the existing interior color scheme. My interior trim color is 32, and I am thinking the darker color is the "Medium Graphite", which I would want for my "Post Console"

Also I have the 6 speed manual so the "Trans Oil Temp" guage is of not much interest to me. Wouldn't mind having an "Engine Oil Temp" in it's place, but I am not too intersted in trying to modify the trans oil temp sending unit to work as an engine oil temp sending unit

Guess I'm looking for a reliable source to order "The Right guages with the right color post console" rather then the Eboner 1 size fits all option

BTW: my Banks Power Elbow and 4" Exhaust system is already being shipped to me. I'm working a 7 days / 12 hrs a day schedule right now with intermittent 14s and 16s so I'm going to drop this off with the mechanic and have him install it for me.

Order them from Clay. The EV2's he sells are very nice gauges and install easily.

Riffraff Diesel Gauge Package

You don't have to get the transmission temp gauge. You can usually just order a oil temp gauge in lieu of the trans temp gauge. And just so you know, the temperature gauges usually use the same sender as long as the gauge scale reads the same (100-280 degrees). Just call Caly up next week and he will most likely just swap the two gauges for you. There is a few dollar price difference in the two, but I am sure this is a common issue.



I just switched to these gauges from Autometer Z series. They are a much better match to the factory lighting.

^^My buddy who has an '03 6-OH! assumed my 4 gauge pillar w/ EV2 was stock also.

Another gauge to consider instead of trans. temp is fuel pressure.

Thanks for the heads up on the fuel pressure - I think I'll be going that route.

I already book marked the Riffraff website and I'll be giving them a call monday
