Post your gauge set up!

I've seen some pretty cool gauge set ups online. But they are all from different truck years, makes, models etc...

I'd like to see your IDI gauges and get some ideas (my gauges don't match and they can definitely be positioned in better areas.

I thought these 2 were cool.

Here is my set up. If you guys know of of specific 87 f350 gauges , please let me know. I'm still looking.

I don't like digital gauges. I like the analog/classical ones.
Here are mine. The bright light is the wts light.

I have a mechanical oil pressure and water temp the two on the right. The other gauge is a 3 in 1 Glowshift diesel combo. The gage is EGT with digital boost and transmission temp

i don;t have any pictures, but mine are simple. on each side of the top of the cluster is a small gauge pod, boost on left side and EGT on right side.

Cool gauge set. They save space by allowing 2 meters in 1 unit. They also remind me of a female body part i can not say the name of hehe

yup that's my pyro.
you only need to keep your eyes on the water temp, oil press, and EGT's
Isspro don't make the fuel gauge in the same series as I have, do the odd color is the fuel.
boost gauge on the upper left
I have a blank spot for a mech oil pressure gauge, as I don't really trust electronics. still have some work to do.
I have an idioit light for the ampmeter, if the alt isn't charging, the light lights up, hopefully lol
always found the amp meter to be pointless.

How do you measure the EGT? On my truck the PO told me that its x10. Its usually at 20 (x10). But yours only goes up to 15 it seems. Or do you have a different set up that it will never go that high?

I have a 3" straight pipe. Would love to know how I can keep EFT's down, they go up fairly quickly if im hitting about 7lbs of turbo, empty F350 dually longed, on a slight incline. If im driving on flat grounds, 20 EGT = 200 degrees. 35 more going up hill.

Agree mechanical oil pressure and water temp. The 3 in 1 mani gage is EGT and 2 secondary are boost and trans temp. With the 3 g at not worried about amps
