moving 4 gauges up to the mirror soon!

 

Waltdog, did your pod come painted or did you have to paint it?

 

I sure like that screen name....
If you buy the gauge pods from Clay at RiffRaff, you can get it pre painted.

I would post mine but it looks just like Joey's.

 

Mine came unpainted however that is how I ordered because I had a can of the paint. You can request it painted for a nominal fee I think

Riffraff Diesel: AutoMeter Overhead Console

 

My wife has the overhead console and a quad pod in her excursion. Works fine.

If you use good quality velcro you will not have issues. Mine has been installed for years without issue.

 

Joe, OT for a second, but what temp your rear diff run at? Im thinking about adding that gauge myself.
I keep checking mine with the infared gun cause I'm worried about the drone its making.

Thanks, back to your regularly scheduled program....

 

Empty it will run 170* or so when its hot out, pulling I have seen 220* or so. I am waiting right now for a ride to my truck. Once I get there I will peak recall the temp, I just pulled my trailer from Santa Fe to Colorado Springs a few weeks ago and I know it got hot!

 

10-4, I appriciate the info.
Thats on par with with the temps I'm seeing empty.
I'll compare your peak with what I see pulling my camper back to FL in two weeks.

 

All you guys with the overhead pods mounted on the windshield, how did you get them to stay attached?

Nothing I've been able to use will keep my pod attached on my Ex.

When I had the windshield replaced, I even had the company use their glue on the velcro but it still won't stick to the windshield.

It will only stay on if you have the super duty printed windshield it won't stick to the un etched glass

Mine is hanging propped on my mirror right now. I wished I knew

 

Install the velcro on a hot day and use the mirror to wedge the pod into the headliner is what I did

 

ditto!

 

I have been kicking around the idea of the windshield mount gauges. But seeing that some have had bad luck getting to stay just wondering if that still holds true.

Is it worth buying?? Or has anyone had any luck with a mod or trick that holds it in place?

I have taken a year to get around to it.
