Gauges 80% installed

well after welding in 100 deg. temp. all day today i came home and worked for a few hours on my truck.
ive had my isspro gauges laying on the floor for a week now and no time to put them in.
i have the exaust manifold tapped and probe in.
trans. probe is in.
and boost line is tapped.
all the wires and lines or ran behind the dash and up to the gauge pod.
factory a piller is drilled out and ready.
all i need to do is hook up my power and dimmer switch wires.
connect the wires to all the gauges and im done.
but for one little snag.
im waiting on my dp tuner. its comming from clay at riffraff.
i bought the little arm that comes off one of the gauges to hold the tuner switch. and i need it before i put everything together in the pod.
tonight when i go to bed ill close my eyes real tight and pray the horsepower farry brings it in the mail tomorow.
but ill be gone all day my youngest son has 3 baseball games about 2 hours from home.
but it will all work out.
ill let you guys know how it all comes out, and how it runs when im done.

Congrats on the partial install. It sounds like you have done all the hard stuff. The rest will be easy.

Are you bolting the gauges into the pod?? If not. the DP bracket is slotted so it will pass over the wires without removing the gauge.



If this is the case, you should be able to finish the install today.

Well, at least get you to 94.735%

I,m thinking of getting that switcher holder for my gauges, tired of looking down to find the buttons for the switcher. Should have listened to Rick(Miller-feed).

big poppa i hate to tell everyone this but talking about finding switches.
it was late one night a week or so ago and i was verry tired and trying to watch the road and got hot. well i reached for the fan switch to turn it up and switched my 4x4 into 4 high. i realized what i did fast and changed it back. and have no problems.i think the dp switch on the gauges will be a good thing
