I finally broke down and bought gauges and a piller pod. I ordered Phantom series (white face) egt/ boost gauges. My biggest question is does any one have pics of these installed? Do these gauges light up at night? Also the pod comes in taupe, but I have grey interior. Sooo, what kind of paint do I use/ color? I ordered a boost bolt from diesel manor to hopefully make the install easier.

Even if your interior is grey, your pillars are taupe (unless someone painted them on your truck). You have to wire the light up in the guages. I usually find the fuse for the dash lights, and tap into there. It'll dim when you dim the dash.

I have the same setup. Sorry, but I'm out of town for a couple of weeks, so I can't snap a pic.

The gauges are black at night, and the numbers and hash marks are white. I like the look. I did take the tech person's advice at Autometer, and ordered the l.e.d. dimmer. I'm glad that I did, because without it, they're REALLY bright.

Thanks everyone, the pillars are taupe. Slowsixspeed, is that how the phantoms come, or did you change/add somthing to make them blue. Those look awsome!

How come autometer has not made a rail pressure guage yet?????

i called and asked about the rail gauge and they said maybe for 2009 line maybe. the tech guy that i talked to said that they think the hot rod diesel era will be on a steep decline by then, so he said.

Since his crystal ball is so clear, you should have asked for the next winning lottery numbers too.

Yeah I also had a bunch of emails going back and forth to Autometer and the main guy I was talking to sounded the same way.

I was explaining to him how the Diesel market has exploded and they need to keep up with a larger varity of diesel specific gagues and values. After a while of going back and forth I gave up on explaining this to a milti million dollar company....

I have come to realize the a large majority of people in this world are stupid

I replaced the factory dim yellowish bulbs with a 5 LED wedge bulb's

I dont think Larry allows members to post links to other vendor's that dont pay him $$$ before hand.

I dont want to get in trouble.

Try searching the net. Its a 194 wedge bulb with 5 LED's
