Talking Bought Gauges Today from BCD

Called up Black Cloud Diesel and ordered gauges today. Towing my big new 5ver next weekend for first time, hope to get them in before then.

Got the AIH deleter plug too...pretty cool mod i think, and easy boost hookup.

Wish me luck on the install!!

Awww You wont need it, I got my gauges from them, it was easy easy easy, every thing came in the package, good stuff, installing was a breeze. I dont have the AIH and the tough part was going all the way to the hardware store to get the fittings to tap in for the boost gauge, when I should have bought a boost relief valve instead, got one now. The second hard part is waiting for all that stuff to arrive :-)

You'll love the gauges Carwash. I got mine from Black Cloud as well. The install took awhile, but I didn't have one problem. When you go to do the wiring, the wires might look a little thin/small. I got me some bigger wire because I thought is should be bigger. Then I went to hook it into the factory wire for the dash lights and found that the factory wire was just as small, so don't bother going bigger, they don't need to be.

I have my gauges from BlackCloud as well. I will be installing them on Saturday if the rain stops. There was a great document that really describes how to install the gauges. I have it in a PDF file. If you are interested, PM me and I will send it to you.
