Back from BTS! Cale says........!

Well we just got back from BTS, wedding, visiting daughter and visiting friends at Ft Leonard Wood. Cale installed four more Autometer Cobalt gauges in an over the rearview mirror pod (pictures to follow).

Of course they were busy after recovering from the ice storm that hit Ak, MO & KY. Brian & Patti were without power for 10 days and the shop was out for a few days.

Cale did a terrific job on my gauges; took him a bit longer than he thought it would. He asked me to pass this on. HE AIN"T INSTALLIN NO MORE GAUGES ON PEOPLE'S TRUCKS! I think he was kidding though. Thanks Brian, Patti, Tina, Cale, Justin & Jeremy! Great People! V/r Les

I don't blame him. It is time consuming. Took me all day to install mine.

Congrats on the gauges. I will be making a trip up there one day.

Eventually I'm likely to get one of Brian's transmissions, but as long as mine is still happy, I'll hold off... unless I get THAT big of a refund... hmmmm...

It took me and Scott all day to get mine in... I believe the Performax gauges would be worth their weight in gold. So was you just there to get the gauges put in?

Yes, just the gauges. I got the BTS tranny last June just prior to Jody Live tuning my truck at Genoseo IL last July.

Joe, I probably would've gone that way had they been out when I started collecting gauges. I know ISSPRO has blue illuminated gauges. But I sure do like my Cobalts!!!!! If the digital Cobalts had been out I would've gone that way too.....it's amazing how quick one's eyesight goes bad when you pass the half-century mark!
