Iv got about 600.00 bucks to spend, first thing Im doing is the guages Iv been wanting. how much should this cost, round about figure installation wise?

in the past, Iv done all my guages myself however, last month I was in the process of moving from a bad area and my tool box was left in the bed for (literally) 45 minutes, and dont have the tools to do it anymore because some border jumper thought he needed them more than I...

Im doin boost pyro and trans.. I think I have a pyro sending unit laying around.. but lets say I need the sending units on the two also.

how much guys?

 

Well it depends on what type of gauges you want?

I have the Edge Evolution, it monitors my EGT's, EOT,ECT,Trans, boost, voltage...etc

I paid $250 for it. looks good, mounts to the dash, I just wish it read FICM voltage...

for about $150 you can get a scan gauge II which will monitor everything on the6.0 besides egts and fuel pressure.

 

99-07 Ford Super Duty PowerStroke Quad Custom Gauge Package

just ordered 4 gauges, and the pod, and all the required sending units needed for $285 shipped. It'll be cheaper for you since you are inside lower 48. Use Promo code "autumn11" to get 10% off


Then do the blue spring upgrade, 6.4 banjo bolts...and an oil/fuel filter change. Should leave ya $200 to play with

 

It will be cheaper and I think nicer to get a monitor. I have the edge insight. There are also insight cs, insight cts, scangauge1 and 2. All of these are good.

 

Aww man, sorry guys, I meant for the install I have the guages, I wasnt clear Im talking about how much for install.

will continue until learning occurs....

sorry!

 

Look you can get though's cool looking gauges but for the money nothing beats the scangauge 2 it rules for about 160 . Then you will have money to blow on other stuff.

 

You still need the scangauge the most important things to read are EOT'S and ECT'S and pyro and trans not doing it , not enough room to list what it does , fuel press and pyro it doesn't

 

I already have the scanguage II man LMAO... thats the first thing I ever got, and the first thing I recommend

 

So... What you really are looking for is "How much should I pay to have these installed?" Right?

 

Why bother with trans temp if you already have a ScanGauge?

 

It would really help if you put what you have done in your SIG, all David was trying to do was help ya out. Thats all.

I see where this is going.

START RANT:
didnt mean to offend ya david if I somehow did by agreeing with you & simply stating thats the first thing I recommend also...

and why bother with the trans temp if I have a scan guage?
A: I already own the guages. POST 5

now my question to you:

Q: why is it so hard to get someone to tell me how much an install would be for those 3 guages...

A: everyone wants to jump on someone and give their own .02, about some stuff that doesnt even matter to what the OP was asking about.

END RANT

sorry if I wasnt clear enough in the first post, like I already stated also.

at this point Ill just go and get it done, and hope I dont get screwed on a fair price by going in blind with no prior knowledge of what to expect.

Thanks guys!

 

Yes Sir, in my un-educated way of asking yes sir. thank you for understanding.

 

We understand that you already have the gauges. However, you would be better served to sell the trans temp gauge and get a fuel pressure gauge instead. People are trying to help you avoid doing unnecessary things that we have done in the past. If that really upsets you, then you might want to rethink ever asking for advice, either online or in the 'real world.' People are always going to give you their 2 cents when you ask them for advice.

Now, as to your question, I doubt that anybody here knows what a shop would charge to put in 2 gauges, as it's usually a DIY thing for car/truck enthusiasts. If they were to do a small job like that, it probably won't be cheap for what it is. It might even make you rethink it and convince you to replace some of your tools. I would recommend going to the regional forums for your area and seeing if anybody would help you out by lending tools or helping with the install. There I go again, giving my 2 cents...

 

The best answer so far. honestly Thanks.. Ill just wait till X-Mas then, I asked my in-laws and family for help replacing the tools.

as for getting some help locally.. I dont want to put that burden on a stranger, I work very un-normal hours, and days.. but thanks. maybe my work tempo will lighten up between now and X-mas and Ill ask around.
