Well, it was in a junker Peterbuilt that was about to get scrapped. New, never installed. Found it in the glove compartment, has the sender unit too. Isspro R-607-25 is what it is marked.
I use my truck to pull a 21' camper, about 5500 lbs, with a load of firewood and ATV in back. Occasional use hauling various stuff, maybe 1 1/2 ton max on the back. I live in Iowa, so, mountains aren't a major problem here.

Well, guess my major objection is since I have a 84, the only real way to mount extra gauges is a el-cheapo gauge mount. Wish I could put some kinda pillar mount on it, but there isn't a manufacturer that makes one for that old of a model. Hate having something hanging down under the dash, always in the way.
Anybody got any good suggestions for mounting gauges in that old of a model?

its always good to have a pyrometer. even a n/a can melt pistons. especially if you haul and climb hills

you can get a gauge pod. they have 2 gauge pods that just fit the mid section, or you can get the 3 gauge pod for the 92-97 and cut the last 3 inches off the bottom like i did. its exactly the same as the brick nose interiors, just spray die it to match our interior color. i think i paid like $40 bucks on ebay for it.

I used a 3 gauge under dash pod, with a little modification it now sits over the dash speaker grill which was crumbling from all the years in the sun.
Since I have a stereo with speakers in the doors, there was nothing under the dash grill, and the crumbled out holes gave me a place to run the wires and tubes to the gauges.
Mine houses a volt meter, coolant temp and oil pressure gauge.
A pillar pod holds the pyrometer and boost gauge.
Engine oil temp is in a cheapy under dash bracket I hate.
