Hey guys, I saw a couple weeks ago some pics of some dash mods and gauges running up/replacing "the O SH*T!" handles and also, a mount on the dash left drivers side for a tuner/chip monitor.

Would be great if somebody could educate me on what these are called and how I could get my hands on some of this!

Thanks!

 

The gauge pod on the pillar is an a-pillar gauge pod, a lot of guys use them when they are running any typer of boost, but you can put any type of gauge in there :oil temp is another one you see a lot, especially on boosted engines once again.
You can probably find one on ebay or even andysautosport.com

The pod for the tuner is probably the edge evolution pod. its a really nice pod that comes with the edge when you buy it.

 

I picked my pillar gauge pod on amazon.com for $60.

 

An edge evolution tells you all the temperatures of engine oil and trans temp and about everything you need a gauge for.

 

What's up "Blown".....I still like my pod better ...

 

Yea but a dedicated set of gauges running up you a-pillar looks pretty sick!

 

I paid twenty bucks for my A-pilar pod (used). I have an oil temp (I don't have a tuner since I have the 4.2 V6). I did however install and engine oil cooler and trans oil cooler. My SCANGUAGE II provides the trans temps, but not engine oil temps. I installed a guage in the pod for the engine oil temp, plus an analog clock. On long trips, I like to know what time it is, and since my Pioneer Avic D2 radio does not easily display it on the radio face, the A-pillar pod is a convienient place to install a clock.

 

Meh, thats relative. I QUCKLY grew tired of gauges in my car. After about a year I took them all down. Swapped out my wideband o2 gauge with a standalone handheld wideband unit and couldnt be happier.

In a truck if I had the option to ONLY run the programmer gauges, thats the route I would take for sure. I see so many people with 3 gauge a-pillar pods that have 1 useful gauge in it and the rest are money wasting filler gauges like volts and time. My personal favorite is the people who get narrowband o2 gauges; those are about as useful as toilet paper in a pool.

Free shipping, genuine Roush part. Can't beat it. And like others are saying, if you arent gonna load it up w/ useful gauges, then you're just tryin to look cool for tuners. lol. Just MHO though, what do I know

 

A "time" guage (as in a simple analog clock) is not "money wasted" filler guages. Because I removed the factory radio and installed a unit with GPS, I lost the "easy to read/access" clock. I like to know what time it is at a glance, so I installed a simple analog clock into one of the two guage pods. The other houses an engine oil temp gauge, so I can monitor the engine oil temps (I also installed a engine oil cooler). I do a lot of long distance driving; often averaging 12 to 18 hour non stop runs with my F150.

I like to know what time it is. Hate the cell phone (stays off when I'm driving).
