Gauge ?

Hello,
All I have a question for anybody that will answer. First ? is I have a 3 gauge pod on the A piler. with trans,boost and Pyro. But after reading all the Info here I am looking in to getting a Fuel psi, oil psi, water temp, and volts or oil temp not sure.All isspo gauges. It's for a 05 CC SB 4X4 Diesel. The second Question is that were can I put it? It seems all the gauge pods I have found is for 04 and below. Does anybody know of any gauge pods that will fit a 05? I have seen the over head mount but will that get in the way of the rearview mirror? also can you mount a fuel psi gauge there? Sorry it is so long I have to get this before I come home
I have a mech friend you is going to install these gauges for me as a welcome home gift.

thanks DJ

Overhead mount will work just fine, Diesel Manor has them and the gauges. I would go with Oil Temperature instead of Oil pressure. (Fuel Pressure, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Volts).

Hope this helps

Cool install! Two questions:
  1. What's the switch controlling?
  2. didn't it make you a little sick-2-your-stomach to cut into the dash?
Don't get me wrong, the installation is very clean and I like it... I just suffer from a don't-put-holes-in-the-truck disorder

I think only the king ranch has a dash like that my FX4 does not have that spot and the button for the pedal adjustment in on the right side of the column.

War thunder you can fit dual 2 1/16 guages in the cubby spot below the slide out cup holder...they also make a guage pod that will mount below that aswell holds 3 guages...that is what i will be going with as i can take my wire feeds from my autometer guages already there.

High Idle would be my guess.

Nope not high idle, it is an air horn selection switch, to select either the air horns or the steering button . . .

The difference in your dash and the dash in "Lonewolftx" is the model year. The dash changed in 2005.

Dose anybody know anything about narrow and wide band a/f gauges.
I was told that the narrow band gauges are junk and that they flutter back and forth but the wide band guage is $170 more. What should i do?
