Gauges are in

Hey Guys,
Thursday I installed my boost gauge and my pyrometer, that's when I realized that I had gotten the wrong trans temp gauge. First thing this morning I picked up my trans temp gauge. Had it in, in about 15 min. I've been driving around watching the needles. At least I can see the changes in my trans temp, since my 6.0 trans cooler hasn't showed up yet. The install was a breeze thanks to searching this forum. I haven't had a chance to get pics yet. I'll try to post some in the morning. Thanks for all the help.

Very good Huck. They are fun to watch while driving. My favorite one is the boost gauge.

The pillar and gauges match perfectly, great job Huck. Did you take the round dials out and hit it with some paint? Looks great!!

Thanks Mike, No thats the color the come in. It's kind of a brushed aluminum.

No, it went smooth as silk. Finding the brass fittings to make the boost tee, was kind of PITA. I had to go to lowes and napa to get everything. I just didn't like the plastic tee. Maybe that's the difference in a ford truck owner and a Ford Truck Enthusiast???
Thanks Jim and Jason
