Better gauges in the truck than in your ears Lol .
Looks good Chris , plus your boost gauges read higher than Richards
How about bending a thin piece of sheet metal , drill a hole thru it and try to use the rear view mirror cap screw to hold it in ??
It looks good in the pics though bud .
What a badass ******* truck .
Question , does the 03-up wheel work on the older column or did you change it ? I forget , and I have 3 03- up steering wheels hanging on my wall.
Corey show your gauges ( or your wife's **** !)

That's a lot of stuff on the A-pillar, wow!
I like them too, never been a big fan of the bright flashy gauges, I like them to look similar to the factory ones. I think they are an exact match to the 99-02 gauges and a pretty close match to the 03-07 ones. I am really surprised that there's no fuel pressure gauge with a 0-80 psi range, it seems weird to only have the 0-30 one factory match for trucks that run a lot higher than that.
I may mess with it at some point. Good thing about the Velcro stuff (it's not really Velcro, but whatever the plastic version is) is that it's adjustable. I pulled the pod back off and re-stuck it and got it closer.
Steering column I'm not sure, this one came from the 05 donor along with the rest of the interior.

What do you guys think of this for drive pressure? I have 12 feet of copper tubing between the manifold and the gauge. Will coiling up the tubing like this dissipate heat, or will the coils touching each other transfer heat like the coils aren't there? I can't figure out how to coil up the wire in a different way that doesn't flop around a lot.

The tube would dissipate more heat if the coils were spaced out but even with them touching, it provides more thermal mass to act as a heat sink than if it were only a strait section of tube there.
So you have exhaust manifold pressure going to one of the boost gauges? I am not all that familiar with compound setups and what/where they are monitored.
