Anyone installed a gauge pillar yet?
Does anyone have install pictures of the pillar pod? I have found a few on the net, but they are not very helpful. I want to do it right the first time, I got the three gauge pod from dieselmanor.com but they came with no helpful info.

You did a great job on the install. Two questions- how well did they match the interior color? And I understand that there is foam insulation in the pillar, did that give you any trouble?

there is foam IN the pillar not under the pillar cover. You
know what I mean? You dont have to get into the actual
pillar to run any wires, just under the cover.

paint. I got the gauges off of ebay, I got the Pyrometer,
Boost, and trans temp. the wires were easy I wired the
gauges in the pillar, then installed the pillar & ran the wires down
the pillar then through the side cover. I still need to drill & tap the
exhaust, and hook up the boost, as well as the trans temp.
I didnt have enough tools here at home to finish it. I wanted to
get all of the inside wires done & installed. It was real easy so far.

drove an 08 long bed (which I have now) and made sure it fit before I got it
and it does with like three feet to spair.... thank you.
