Can't see the cable for the Hydra anymore.
Any problems reading the gauges? Is the angle to "flat"? Would the view benefit from the angle rings to give them a slight upward angle in your opinion? I just got my part from white bear and I am in the process of ordering everything. Thanks for your help.

I can read all the gauges well enough, BUT I would put the angled bevels in there if I had to do it over again. I get a lot of comments on it when people ride with me, and when my kids friends ride along they think it is just awesome to have all those gauges in the dash. Cool factor is high, and I get the info I need when the truck is going down the road

Thanks, I was leaning that way. Kinda hard to tell from the pics. Soon I will have the cool factor as well! I sold my edge tuner that I was using for temps and stuff...and now I feel naked when I'm driving around.

So, I'm looking to do this dash mod. I need to get my butt in gear and finish my on-board air set up and some other unfinished projects. I really need to make some space for a bunch of added switches and maybe a couple gauges. Can anyone tell me how much of the dash has to come apart to swap in the F650 panel ?

The dash face has to come off first to expose the couple of screws at the top of the lower dash panel you are replacing, they are covered by the dash face. If everything is still stock the radio has to come out first, then you can access the 2 screws above the radio which will allow the dash face to come off, it is just several friction tabs so it pulls right off easily.

Buy the 2 u shaped radio removal tool, it makes the radio removal a snap. I used center off switches, so 3 switches for 6 functions

I added another gauge to mine in lieu of all the alternator problems I have had the past 3 years.




VOLTAGE!!!

No more gadgets hanging out of my cigarette lighter...

Anyone know who makes the part that is holding the Carling switches? The piece that has the spots for 6 rockers.

Here are the F650 dash plates from Riffraff Diesel that they used when they used to customize the dashes to order.
