Man I am just blown away at how clean this truck/build is. Great job. I wish my engine bay/whole truck was taken care of halfway as good as this one was when I got it.

I appreciate the compliments guys, I'll try to keep the updates coming.

Speedhut gauges came in today. I designed them to match the escalade platinum cluster

Got the gauges wired up this evening. Still have to mount the two pressure sensors, but I got the wiring through the firewall and into the engine bay.

This is for the dimmer/illumination wire

Bundled all three gauges together so it's one ground, one fused 12v and one illumination (just for the speedhuts)

The picture makes them look blue, but they're not

You can ask speedhut what color temp leds they use and buy the same for the cluster. Does the cluster use halogen bulbs from the factory?

These are from leatherseats.com I believe - $630.00 shipped. I haven't installed them yet, but they do feel quality just holding them

Got the final pieces to finish my gauge installation

The barb that comes with the gauges is too small to fit any vacuum lines on the truck

Lines tied together

Routed behind the intake manifold and wrapped in techflex

Not enough wiring in the sensor harnesses, so I had to mount on the drivers side firewall instead of the passenger
