I am currently working on a 2001 Cummins and have installed the boost, pyro and trans temp gauges on the pillar.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to put this gauge?

Thanks!

Many mount it below the dash, on the tranny hump, or on the dash.

It's not one you have to watch constantly, just a check every now and then.

Mine is in the pillar, bottom cup, with the EGT mounted on the dash next to it.
Figure these are the two most important ones, so they are next to each other.

first off, you have a 12 valve so i wouldnt worry about it.

if you have to have it, do a steering column mount.

I took a colume mount and cut the cup off it and graffted it to the center of the factory colume cover . Doing it this way The gauge looks nice and centered and is about 1/2" lower than if you used the mount in its original configuration. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...cat/500/page/1

I mounted my mechanical guage on the cowl coming out of the hood, that way I can watch it as I drive and don't have fuel running into the cab, works great. I put some extra length to the braided line so that when I raise the hood the gauge just goes up with it.

chk my gallery for pics. Mine is also on the hood and is a great place for it.
