Gauge install pics trans,fuel,oil press inside
These are the pics. I took the main ones to put in here. These are all auto meter gauges ultra light. You need the following fittings for the trans and you can get them at ace hardware or something like that. The sender must be installed using a (male) 1/8npt x 1/4npt bell reduced screwed directly into the transmission and a (female)1/8npt x 1/4npt. You also need pipe tape if you dont have it. You need a inline fuse for all the gauges all well. I also bought copper tubbing for the oil gauge. I have steel bradded line on the way for the fuel gauge so I can install the sender on the battery box but it did not get here in time so I installed it on the fuel cap for now. The dash was only 3 screws to get the center appart to install the gauges from behind. Overall a little time and general knowledge about cars or trucks for a easy install.

Sweet, I just bought the same gauge pod a few days ago; hasn't shown up yet but am eagerly waiting. About how long did it take you fully/finish installing the pod and 3 gauges? How bout range of difficulty? Did you have help or did you do it on your own? The only reason I ask is cause it's nice to know how long i'm in for when I start a project. Thanks

It took me and my brother about four hours to do. The main resone it took so long is the wiring. We are both into making it clean. So we used shrink wrap connecters and coved them with regular shrink wrap. I also put wire loom around the wire that goesfrom the trans to the gauge. I also make sure the oil line was ran correctly and the power wire for the fuse was hidden as well. I followed the dodge pdf I got off here to take the dash apart but it is wrong. It has you take too much off to get the center out. There are 2 screws under the dash by the pedals and one by that hanger on the dash. Take them out and the dash pops off. The book has you do all this other crap you dont need to do.

I got the mount from genos garage. On the trany read my first post you need those 2 parts to fit it. The sendre goes in there too deep and it his so you cant tighten it. If you try it will go in about 2 treads and then strip out so you need the adapters and they are 1/8
