You drill holes in the factory one and new one. Don't install them until you know everything is working right. Chris will hook you up! I tried to rep him but I'm in rep jail.

One of the bigger decisions will be choice of beer. I'd say if the guages are Glowshift, go Pabst. Autometers go with Budweiser. Isspros, black and tan with Guiness and Corona.

Once you take a look at my pillar and you will be feeling better. Those little tabs work awesome. I've been over plenty of washboard roads that will shake you fillings out of your head but my pillar never has budged. I even have a few extras if you want to be super, ultra covered. Actually the weatherstrip hold that pillar damn tight to the truck also.

I like how you rate... Actually, just helping a brother out is just as good.

Update: We were able to get Lloyd's gauges in yesterday. Clay and Isspro have some nice stuff. He bought the EV2's. I had to noodle over how the wiring went but after that, it was pretty simple. Lloyd has the four pillar gauge pod with boost, fuel pressure, pyro and tranny temp. Very nice looking set up once we got it in. We were able to hook up the potentiometer as well so his gauges can dim correctly. We had to drill and tap his intake for the boost since his was an early '99 so no AIH to delete and I had to re-crimp some of the wires at the gauge plugs since I wasn't able to get the little black lego tool to completely mash down the wires on the first try. Overall, if anyone is thinking about a gauge kit, Isspro's are very nice and Clay gives you great instructions. Now we need to get his HPX, CCV and FPX done.
