Thanks guys for your input.

Donald, that looks like a slick setup. I didn't know anyone had a 3 in 1 gauge. The 60 mm pod, is the Glowshift the one you're referring to?

That's right. Here's a link to a tan one but they have grey and black as well.

If that was pressure/pressure/pressure I'd do it.

I just ran the wires up the a pillar and then tucked them in the headliner. The pod is just resting up there as I didn't use any tape or anything. The rearview mirror does a pretty good job of holding it up.

Thanks for the info.

I was thinking that but when they said 99~04 I was not sure. But now I will be putting one on my list of things to get.
Guage mounting is one of the things that has been holding me up on just doing it.

Does anyone know why this won't fit '05, '06 and '07? I didn't think there was that much difference in the clusters.

I already have the single gauge pod and fuel pressure gauge that I've posted here before. The gauge in there has been doing double duty, both fuel and coolant pressure. Last night I found this double digital display. I reached out to Glowshift and they agreed to sell me just the gauge since I already have 2 sensors and harnesses. Finally no more switching the plugs back and forth. Plus I can make one display blue for water and the other probably red for coolant pressures.

I’ve thought about just setting up my existing gauge with a rotary or slide switch so I could flip between fuel, oil, and coolant pressures. I’ve also been thinking of just going mechanical of all three on the dash. I do realize the concerns of leaks, but the only time I’ve every had an in-cabin leak was when trying to use nylon tubing and it wore a hole at an edge. Aluminum and stainless have always been fine.

The dash bezels are different

Along with the rest of the entire dash & cluster.

TMT, do you care if the gauge reads "air" or not?

No.

I’ve seen the 2, 4, and 5 before, never the three.

I was thinking of getting this 3 in 1 gauge so I can keep my grab handle. https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/3in1...ressure-gauge/

It is meant to monitor EGT, fuel pressure, and boost but since I already have a factory boost gauge I will use it to monitor my coolant pressure (with sender designed for liquid, if supplied boost sender is not compatible with coolant). I just had head work done along with an EGR delete, new oil cooler and all the usual issues addressed. With my head gaskets leaking it overpressured the cooling system and when my oil cooler cracked it shoved coolant into my engine oil. So monitoring coolant pressure is now a must for me.

Now that's thinking outside the box! Really cool work.
