Finally installed my gauges!

Well, received my ISSPRO EVGauge Kit from DieselManor on Friday but the wifey was in town (she is going to school outa town) for the weekend so I didn't get started on them till Monday. Painted the colum Monday, installed the sensors Tuesday, and wired everything this evening. Everything went smoothly... the ONLY thing the kit didn't come with was enough zip-ties. I am a zip-tie freak though... like the wires nice and neat.

Took in for a test drive in the mountains doing 70mph and boost was 4-5lbs, trans temp didn't get above 155 and pyro was between 600 and 750. Was reading another post and I think all those ### are good!

Well, here are a few pics. I built a little mounting bracket to mount all the boxes too and it turned out really clean I think. Used some old garage door opener angle mounting bracket with holes in it already!





I know.... I gotta wash my truck. Been too busy working on the gauges!!!

Very nice work there. Looks good. Those #s appear to be spot on so they seem to be working fine.

Glad the Pricols did not need any box mounting. They are too easy to install. Install gauges and senders, connect wire, done.

THANKS! It is OK I guess. I think I gotta read up on how to adjust the sensitivity on it. Think I could run over my truck with a bulldozer and it wouldn't go off! I can jump in the bed anyways... BUT, it has a red blinking light and anything is better then nothing when it comes to deturing thieves!

Nice clean job. I like using a lot of zip ties too. I buy them 200 at a time.

Good job on the install. I like that bottom hole in the pod. You will love it when you fill it up.

Looks like you did a real nice job. I'm sure they will serve you well. How many zip ties did you wind up using? We may have to modify the wiring kit to include more of them.
