I finally had some time to install all the stuff I got from Clay recently. I ordered three new EV2 gauges (EGT, Trans Temp and Fuel Pressure). I reused my existing boost gauge and the air bag pressure gauge. I went to the auto parts store and purchased green bulbs so my old gauges light green and sort of match the new EV2 stuff. I went with the 3 switch pack and had them engraved so I would know what they were. The switches left to right are (Torque Converter Lock, Exhaust Brake and Emergency Strobe Lights). I also drilled and installed a momentary switch to operate the air bag compressor and mounted the air pressure release valve. Well, enough talk, here are some pics. The pdf file has labels that says what all the stuff is.

Here is link to a video I tried to post on Youtube. Not sure if this link will work but here goes.

cool, thats on the top of my 'to do next list'. You have about the same interior as me... what color did you order the dash in? The pics make it look a little light.

One thing I've been wondering about, how far down is the trailer brake controller now? Can you reach it easily, or is it a stretch?

 

Looks great. Out of all the mods, which one do you think is the best one you have done to your truck. I have a 2000 f250, 4x4, 7.3. I have cold air and 4" ex. Kind of wondering what to do next. I like the stock look, so lifts and rims are not an option. I was thinking Fass fuel, or something to improve fuel economy. Your thoughts? This is an open question to anyone who has an opinion.

 

That 650 dash looks awesome!

 

With the tan you need to paint the cupholder and the ashtray as well. He has a can in the mail to paint match them. Not sure why since grey matches very well.

 

DP Tuner is probably my favorite mod on my truck. 6637 filter is a good second.

For towing, dptuner, EGT gauge, '08 mirrors.

Driving at night, update your headlights.

 

Thanks. I ordered the Prairie Tan color since my truck is a '99 but it didn't match very well. It is lighter than the rest of the pieces. Maybe later I'll get the correct color and re-spray it. I probably should have ordered the tan for 2000 since my truck is a late-99 model. My mistake.

The brake controller is pretty easy to reach at that spot. I think I lean forward just a little bit to get it. I'll drive around like this for a little while and see how well everything works.

 

Thanks Clay! YouDaMan!
You did a great job putting the F650 kit together. The beveled bezels are a nice touch and really make the gauges easier to see.

Thanks again!


Edit: Rep Watchers got me again. Too bad too because your offer to send some paint deserves some reps for sure. I'll have to make it up to you some other time. Thanks man!

 

Thank you. Clay at RiffRaff did all the hard work. The easy part was installing it.

 

Well, to be honest....I bought a diesel because I wanted to tow a fifth wheel RV. With that in mind, the best mods I've done in order of top to bottom are:
Transmission with Tugger Kit, multi disc converter and cooler
C-Betr Mirrors
Air Bags
Exhaust Brake with T/C lock.

 

when you gonna give me a ride in your truck so i can see how it is with the DP?

 

Looks good Greg

 

Whenever I'm in town and your ready to buy a DP tuner.
Just ordered the 650 dash and a scangauge, you can check those out too.

 

Thanks Steve.
Looks like we are practically neighbors. Are you in Pinal County? I am in East Mesa pretty close to Apache Junction.

 

i already got the 650 dash. why you selling your dp? is that why i need to be ready to buy one?
