Looking for more gauge space, already filled up the A-pillar, and i want to stay off the steering colum. i have heard that the overhead pod is hard to make stay up there. any tips or tricks would be greatly appretiated. thanks guys

 

Mine stays up and it is GREAT! Mine is not only "stuck" up there but also under the headliner so it's not goig anywhere. I love it becaus eI could add the other two gauges I wanted to and they are very easy to read but not intrusive into your normal vision. I have 3 on the A-Pillar and 2 Overhead. I highly recommend it!

 

d.wiggs, where did you get your overhead pod from?

 

Here's a link to a past post....

I had the 3 gauge pod on my truck. The expansion joints of LA took care if it one day along with my rear view mirror. I have since taken it off. I liked it but it never seemed to really fit even with trimming.

 

I have a triple on mine...fell down three times...now that i have it on their firmly it rattles at low RPM. It does look fancy though, something different.

 

Hey ACOOK you gonna go to dyno days in the spring next weekend?

 

I had a issue to my overhead coming unglued a few times. I have the auto dimming rear view mirror and the plug/ wires to the rear view mirror would prevent the overhead to get completely hooked onto the window. I trimmed the overhead with a dremel tool to a accommodate the wiring. Now I do not have any more issues.

 

my overhead has been on for 3 yrs. and has never fallen off,I like it alot

 

Got my overhead gauges from Dieselmanor. The power module for the transmission gauge went out on mine this summer. Since the transmission gauge is calibrated with the sensor and module I had to send the whole thing back. They sent me a replacement with a return shipper ticket, no problem. The folks were very helpful at Dieselmanor. He told me to use the black silicone it holds better and is is less visable from the outside. He also told me to wrap tape around the gauges and insert them from the inside once the overhead is mounted. I used 1/8" pinstripe tape (black). The gauges are nice and snug, no light "bleed thru" at night. The first time I mounted the gauges I used the Velcro tape and the mounting brackets that came with the gauges. So when the transmission gauge went out on me I had to pull the whole thing down, wasn't easy. Also I used super glue (two little drips) to hold the wires up between the windshield and headliner.

 

Been up there for about a year. Used 2-sided rug tape. After a year in the sun, it would take some work to get them off. Ideal place IMOA, easy to glance at while not being in the way.
