Question Fabbing up sending units?

Is there a faq floating around on how to install the sending units for the typical accessory gauges for a PSD (in my case, a 2000 7.3L)?

Pyrometer/EGT
Boost
Trans Temp.

I'm trying to decide if I can really do my A-pillar project myself...

I just did mine today. It took 4 hours and it was damn cold! I installed the A-Pillar, Isspro - Pyro, Boost and Trany. I took my time and did a really clean job. It looks great! and seems to work fine. Down Pipe tomorrow!

Thanks for reply and congrats on your installl. Post some pics--I can host them if you need me to. I would like to see your finished install--both in the cab and at the sending units!

Talking Fabbing up sending units?

xanthias, here are pics of my Isspro gauges. Be sure to get a trans temp gauge that starts at 100*, mine starts at 140* and it only moves when I am offroading.

Those look fantastic. Did you self-install? (The snow in the background is looking pretty good too).

I'd like to see your sending unit connections. The drilling on my truck's engine has me so I want to be dang sure I do it right!

As for the trans, I have a mag-hytec trans pan that has a port for the trans sender. So, that wouldn't help you unless you have the mag-hytec or plan to buy one. For the stock trans pan, there is a test port located above the pan where you insert the trans. temp. sender.

I did the install with the help of a buddy. I did the suff under the hood and ran the sender to the trans and he did all the wiring inside the cab.

Just FYI, the Isspro gauges come in different colors and you can even get the pyro color coded for safe, warning, and dangerous temps.

Hope this helps.
