mounting gauges - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

Frank Fox · 11-15-2011, 05:55 PM

i just bought a 2007 F-250 6.0 and am having trouble finding gauge pods that i like. i dont want the gauges on the a pillar cause my wife is short and needs the grab handle to get in when she drives. the only other option i have found to fit the 07 is above the rear view mirror. anyone know of other options?

You could get the old style (1960's) of Under Dash pod that will hold three or four gauges.

I like the Edge Insight you can get the pyro also a must if you pull a 5er or TT.
Edge Inisight CTS
or here the dash pod, adapter, gauge, pyro
or you could go with the window mount like the garmin and Tom-Tom i think it come with it, i may be wrong

Yes Frank, you can you monitor turbo psi and egt. and trans temp, at least that's what I have on mine.
