are there any pillars that are triple gaues that do not require cutting the handle off our stock pillar? Or are there any that you can just take the stock pillar off and replace it with the aftermarket one?? Thanks, Jason

The SRT-10 Mopar A-pillar is a direct replacement for your truck, unfortunately it only houses one gauge but you do get to keep the grab handle. There are plenty of aftermarket 2 and 3 gauge A pillar pods out there but you will lose the grab handle.

I have an autometer pillar on my truck. It just bolted as a replacement for the stock pillar. There was was gap behind it and matched the interior perfectly.

The 3 Guage A Pilliar I got from Geno's Garage is a direct replacement....no cutting of the old one, just swap out.

To a previous post....1.5 hours is **** impressive for 3 guages and mounting....drill for egt probe, drill tranny pan + install boost bolt + 2 relay's, wiring, pierce firewall,....I'm no mechanic, but I know it took me 1.5 hours to install 2 offroad lights, 1 relay, 1 Switch and wire it all together....so I guess it's a matter of how much experience you have....me, I'm taking my truck in tommorrow and for $175 they're doing the complete 3 guange install for me.....to me it's worth it!

Sorry to threadjack here but I have a quick question.

Anyone know of a detailed instruction manual for doing the gauges? I mainly need to see where I should tap/drill for the boost gauge.

Thanks.

I cant answer where to tap / drill, but I can say that you can get a boost bolt (approx $10) that eliminates the need to tap / drill alltogether....it came with my kit from genosgarage.com....but they sell them seperate.

You would only need to drill and tap for the Pyro gauge. Boost comes from your intake and just need to get a boost bolt to replace a regular bolt.

So the boost bolt goes on the bottom portion of the turbo? And if I did order one all the fittings will screw right into it?

Two guages, not three. I used the boost bolt and just drilled the manifold for the pyro. I hooked the lighting for the guages to the dimmer switch, hooked the positive to the battery box under the hood with a fuss that came on with the key, and the ground I used a bolt right below the pillar that bolts where the door hinge is. 1.5 hours was all it took and I even took some snap shots....check out my gallery. Also, I didn't need to pierce the firewall, there was a gromment that wasn't used right by where my clutch pedal depresses. It worked perfect after alittle slit from a knife.
