I run the Isspro gauges in an Autometer A-pillar mount:



A lot of people use Autometer gauges as well.


I don't remember the exact cost for the setup but I want to say $300-350.

I like them a lot.



Hope this helps.

I don't have the part number anymore. I paid $120 for the gauge, thermocouple and bulb kit. That was 1 1/2 years ago. Order the catalog, there is alot more in it than on the website. My gauge is the 3" combo boost/egt 0-30psi and 200-1500*F egt.

Picked it up at my local truckin dealer. If you can't find in on one of the diesel pages then send a E-mail to Classic Customs.com. Tony can get you one. If I can find the manufacturer I will post it. And thanks, I do like it. Its out of the way and has a nice look to it.

Unhappy guages

Classic Customs.com doesn't exist. Any other suggestions? Do you have the contact information for yout Truckin' dealer? How much was it? Did it replace the entire panel or section into it? I am full of questions, as well as, other things.

Thanks,
Rickey B

Sorry that I didn't get the chance to post it but I see that you found it.. I painted mine to match the interior, there are two colors and I used the darker. With the white faced guages its a nice addition. I love mine.. Good luck.

DCSpecial, Is your main instrument panel black? If so, how do you like having the white gauges in your A-pillar? I have ordered some white gauges myself and I am starting to second guess myself in terms if the white gauges will look good with a black main instrument panel?

Do you have a couple of more focused pics of your dash? I would like to see how the pod fit the dash, a zoomed out one would be cool also.

Thanks

Yes, my main instrument panel is black.
I like the white gauges....they have a blue backlighting which make them really easy to read at night.
One day I would like to change the main instrument panel to white as well.....since it would look better if they matched IMO.
Weird thing is no one who has riden in my truck as ever asked why they don't match.......most just ask me what they are for....


I have a buddy who has some Autometer's (not sure what series......I could find out) that match the factory gauges very well. I haven't seen it at night to comment on the lighting.


Hope this helps.

Thumbs down guages

I guess that I was hoping that the out of focus would not be noticed but I guess that I was wrong, imagine that. I'll try and get some more pics this weekend and get them posted.
DC I kind of noticed the same thing, most people that see the total set up ask if it is a factory option. Kind of strange. I do like the white faced gauges though, they really stand out at night and are really easy to read at a glance.

I'm looking into getting the X-Monitor from BD-Power. I haven't seen anyone with it yet, but they have some nice options, like remote temp, brake pressure, back pressure, pyro, boost....
