Guage Installation

Ok, I know it has probally be posted thousands of times but I can't find it. I am getting ready to put guages in my truck however I would like to find some installation instruction to look over before I get them ordered. I am looking at the Boost, Fuel Pressure and Pyro guage in a pod on the a pillar. Pictures would be a wonderful thing, I do well with tools so I don't think this will be a problem, the only issue is i'm new to the diesel world and have trouble identifing parts. Thanks for the help.

I dont know about the fuel pressure guage, but the other two are really easy to install. The guages that I installed came with instructions on how to install them. It is pretty self explanitory beyond that. If you need any help feel free to p.m. me.

i agree i didnt do mine my friend did and its about a 2 hr project. boost taps into the block you unscrew a dummy plug . pyro you will have to tap the exhaust manifold . fuel pressure hooks up under fuel filter housing. im sure if you search this topic you will find pics.

HAHA, thats what I was told also, but after 8 hrs of perfection, I'd have to disagree. Make sure that you have all the correct tools, cuz I didn't this past Sunday. After 3 different trips to the hardware store, I recommend having the correct tools next to you when you start. Good luck,

P.S. It also helps when someone who already has gauges is there so yall can compare and make your decisions from there.

Hey now. We took our own sweet time and if I do say so myself, it was the nicest looking gauge install I've ever done/seen on a truck. Everything is well hidden in the engine as well as the cab.
