I was justondering how hard is it to install a guage pod becuase eventually i want to put on in my 97 f250 7.3. and iam talking about a triple guade pod.

 

Not hard at all...Gauge Installations at DieselManor- 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke

 

Thanks just one question are the steps any diffrent if iam doing the guages on a 97 7.3

 

Not really. That is just on a SD 7.3

What gauges are you doing? Boost, EGT and Tranny?

For tranny, just put the sensor in the test port in the tranny, simple remove and replace then run wire up to the gauge.

For the EGT, drill and tap the drivers side exhaust manifold. Then run wiring to the gauge.

For boost, T into the Map line or drill and tap into the spyder. I just T'd into the map line. Then run the hose to the gauge.

Run a common ground and some power.

yeah those are the guages i want to do. What is a decent guage that isnt to hard on the wallet?

 

Autometer's are a quality gauge and not too terribly expensive. Isspro's are much nicer but cost a little more. I got my EGT, trans, and boost for 227 on ebay. They are Autometer Ultralites.

 

i like the autometer Auto meter z series thye look cool and arent to exspensive i plan on buying parts from my local diesel preformance shop

 

i went with glowshift gauges, a little bit cheaper about 200 for a pillar pod and 3 gauges of your choice. if i could do it again id probably go with isspros tho. installation isnt that bad either, youll be fine

 

out of all the gauges ive run (autometer, isspro, glowshit) i prefer the autometers the best.
