Gauges Arrived Today

I got my package with yellow tape today.



I got an ISSPRO pillar mount gauge package.



Looking at all the parts and pieces laid out has me feeling overwhelmed and wondering what I got myself into. All the installation posts and installation youtube videos make it look so easy. I hope it turns out that way for me.

I'm reviewing some online installation instructions right now and it seems pretty straight forward. Just seems like a lot of parts to put together.

Look at it this way. A couple wires to hook up for the temp sensors, a few more for boost, and the EGT is only a few more. It is really straight forward and is best attacked one at a time. You will see, it will be easier than you think.

Make sure you mark each wire bundle seperately. That way when you get them into the cab, it will be clear as day which one you are working. arrange them in a somewhat orderly fashion and it will flow out nicely.

I have the Banks gauges and it was easy so i'm assuming these are even easier to install. Do one at a time so you dont get wires all mixed up.

Do NOT run one wire to each gauge. Loop the ground, lighting and power from one gauge to the next, leaving a few inches to allow removal of the gauges. Then add your sensor wires for the EGT, Boost and Trans temp. Then zip tie them all together in a nice tight bundle.

Gauges can be done right, once... Or wrong many times.

If you need any help what so ever let me know, or anyone else, but I have alot of experance with Isspro gauges...

Also, talk to Clay about the new warning light programing software, he should be able to pick it up now for resale... Very nice stuff!

Thats how i did mine. Connect each together, then thats where the trailer wire came into play. Use the white, yellow and brown, for the respected source.

The only "pucker" is drilling the manifold for the egt..lol

Thanks for the tip. I was pondering about whether to loop the wires or run individual power, ground and light wires this morning while I was getting ready for work.

It allows you to change the point at which the warning light is triggered. We are waiting for the release but it should be soon.

Yes but according to ISSPRO they are not activated. I think they said they will start activating them soon. Also supposedly there is a software package they are going to release that will also custom programming of the warning lights.
