Gauges For Pillar Pod

Hello,

Im new to this forum and I guess I'am late to this party....because I've had my f250 since 99....so I just want to do some things to it and see if I can get some direction of what I need to do.....I want to put a pillar pod with maybe three gauges, but not sure where to get them and which ones I need....I would like to get ford racing gauges...but if there is something better then good...so help please thanks

I just got some off Evil bay for a good price they went up alittle http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Autom...2951QQtcZphoto

just a thought I like the Autometers they make real quality stuff, there are other good gauges out there too. that link is for a complete kit with pod, guages (pyro,boost) and everything needed to hook them up, just paint the pillar and hook everything up

actually the ones in the picture are Banks gauges if you go to summit and search the part# it will show you the gauges. The install was pretty easy I put the pyro probe pre-turbo so I had to drill out the exhaust manifold which was probably the hardest part just grease up acouple drill bits small to desired size and drill straight up the grease will trap 99% of the metal shavings I took the shop vac and sucked the hole before installing the probe just for piece of mind.

if you search the sellers other auctions he has different gauges all with the same picture you just have to do alittle research of the part#s to see which gauges hes selling in which auction

you can also try some of the sponsors or egauges.com has all kinds of stuff

Check this guy out. I got my Isspros from him. Great gauges with the green bulb covers look just like stock. They supply everything including wiring. Took me about 4 hours. Piece of cake. EGT, Boost and Tranny Temp.

I was lucky and had a friend that manages a body shop and he did it for nothing. Any body shop will take your paint code and get a perfect match. The stealership can also do it.

Good Luck and enjoy the gauges.

I have not done it yet but I found this guys web site very informative... You could substitute the gauges for the ones you want.

Get a can of spray paint that is ford color matching, then spray it a whole bunch of time, I used about half a can on mine, doing about 12 light coats on it. The key is to do light coats.
