I'm thinking of getting new gauges, and was tossing the idea of jumping to a 4 gauge pod. If I go to 4 gauges what should be the 4th gauge & why.

For the first 3 gauges i'm going with the standard Tranny, Pyro, and Boost, but really don't know if I go to a 4th what would be the best & most usefull or improtant to monitor.

Thanks
Rich

 

I have my DP tuner switch in the 4th position.

 

If i was going for the 4th..I would use fuel pressure..It can help solve problems also if you install the probe in the test port after the filter you can keep a eye on when the filter needs replaced..

 

I have three now but wish I had done four. My fourth would be fuel pressure. But, your top gauge in a four gauge pod on the A pillar will be in the way of your sun visor coming all the way down. I'm sure others will will have different opinions on gauges though. If I could afford it I would have a gauge to monitor everything. There are guys on here that have 4 - 10 gauges in the cab. Looks cool too!!! JMHO

 

Oil temp was my fourth. Fuel pressure, fifth and hpop 6th.

 

I am using 7 counting DP controlls
Pyro,Boost,Coolant Temp,(in pillar pod)Fuel pressure,Oil Temp,Trans temp(above rearview mirrow) DP in dash

 

I added fuel pressure because of all the issues linked to it. Also added LPOP because my oil light seemed to stay on for longer period of time at start up. Will add oil or AF temp next.

 

True. But the visor will bend around it easily. It is annoying, but I've gotten used to just grabbing the visor there and moving it around.

 

If I was going to add one gauge I would consider the Aeroforce Scangauge. I have been thinking of adding that one myself but I do not want 4 on the pillar, if I get one I'll probably put it where the 4x4 switch goes. JMO

 

my scan gauge sits on the steering column. my 4th gauge in the pillar is a battery gauge.....helps keep an eye on the alt and batts.....

 

In my '02, I just unclip the visor and bring it to the side window, then you can extend it down and re-clip it back in. Seems to work fine with no bending of the visor.

If you are only choosing one gauge, I would go with the Aeroforce and pick up the fuel and oil pressure senders. It offers a whole lot of information as well as testing and code reading abilities.

My fourth hole has a water temp gauge (Aeroforce is on the steering column).

 

Thanks guy's where can I check out/ buy the Aeroforce that sounds knida cool a few readings and some scanning.

 

Rich, if you're not in a big hurry for a quad pillar pod, send me your zip code. I give you mine for the cost of shipping. I purchased it and never added it in. Got the F650 dash and holes for everything I need...

 

Mike, Thanks for the offer, but I already have a quad, thanks again for the kind offer.

 

I'd take you up on it?
