Default Guages

How much can i expect to pay to have three gauges installed? EGT, Boost, Trans in a 2001 7.3

Thinking about an early X-mas present and not real comfortable installing myself

We run between $180 and $300.00 depending on gauge brand , pod brand and the location the customer wants the upgrades and their componets mounted. Also take care to ask your installer if he'll use wire loom and professionally install and hide wiring componets of the kit!

They should use wire loom with Screw in loops to secure the wire, or zip ties! Wire loom is the slit plastic you find over your factory wiring! The goal with aftermarket accessories is 1: install them correctly and forget about them, When opening the hood you shouldnt know that more wires than came factory are even there. 2: Aftermarket wired in accessories should operate simply and with ease, no wire wigling stuff like that and cause no adverse or bad effects in the daily opperation with the truck ( shorts, wires catching your feet).

I dont know Fords but I do know that installing gauges isnt that hard. Im sure some of the Ford guys can walk you through it to save you $300.
