Dar, is that the Autometer pillar pod you got from Geno's, or the Glowshift? 'Cause it looks to me like you'd need to be 6'5" in order to read those gauges. Being that tall would make it awful hard to get in the truck!

Gloshift i think, i put the boost on top cause it don't get over 32 so thats not so critical as the EGT's, cause they can cruse past 1600* if i'm not carful. last night i installed a P/S intercooler and tims 3 in cooler tubs so i hope that will help.

i had a set i got in on a 1990 dodge that worked well. what they did was use 2 autometer dual pods (just the universal ones not ones made for other trucks) one went baove the other and screwed into the factory pillar. looked clean, held 4 gauges and tilted them correctly. you couldnt hardly even tell it was two pods unless you sat there and stared at it
