I want to put in some guages. EGT Oil temp and maybe one other.

I need ideas. Don't think I want pillar guages.

anyone have any ideas on locations or pics?

 

Why not a DD?

Won't work with the Banks programmer.

 

Hi Senix,
I would rethink the pillar guage if I was in your shoes. Just saw one on Ebay for $80 and then everything is right beside you for easy viewing. As we both know Ford did not leave much room on the dash of these trucks to add anything and I think that anything screwed to the bottom of the dash looks horrible. Just my opinion but I'd hate to see you take away from the nice looking dash on your truck. Good Luck

 

totally agree with the little room on the dash and yes I dont want thinks down where my feet go.

Pillar guage's may be the way to go.

 

I think that there are ODB-II splitter cables that you can use, one for the gauges and the other for Banks. I assume that you do not have the PDA option, that'll give you the same data. I'm getting the Edge Insight with the dash pod when I get back into town at the end of the month.

banks does not go into the obd port. It also wont work with the insight.

 

Do you not want to use the Power PDA option?

How about these if you put them into an overhead pod? It's what I was thinking of getting before I found the Insight.

Or, does the Banks unit make the ODB-II port useless?

 

Banks is/was supposed to be coming out with a new gauge display, not sure how close they are, may want to hold off till then to at least see what they do.

 

Those are nice!

 

I havn't heard that. That would be nice.

 

Senix, do you know the reason why the DD won't work with the Banks programmer since the OBD II port isn't used with the Banks application and it does not "reprogram" the PCM? At least that's my understanding..

I was told that it causes some conflict and forces the banks to go back to stock.
