gauges and pods

[Ididriver]

Update
Gauges are ordered and on the way.
Water temp gauge
Oil pressure
Fuel pressure
3 pod a pillar
2 gauge dash pod
3 gauge wiring kit for em too I'll take pictures when they get here and once everything is installed. I'm getting exited
Anybody ever use this 3 gauge wiring kit? Anybody know what's in int just wires for 3 gauges or dose it hook the power for the 3 together??

it comes with a bunch of wire... you will hook up constant 12v yellow, switched 12v red, ground black , and your sensor wire will be green which goes out to the sender. MAKE SURE YOUR SENDER HAS A GOOOOOOOOD GROUND!!!

thats the only issue i have with these gauges..

Thanks man. Any other tips?
This is really going to be my first experience wiring. Well 1st and a half.
My other gauge I had one of my dads friends help me with and he did all of the grounds and power sources. I put the gauge on the pillar and ran all the senders and everything but not the hard stuff. I watched him do it all so I think ican do it

How about a single fuel pressure gauge with two sensors and a switch to let you see pressure before and after the filter. I think that would assist with some diagnostic work at times, like when the filter is getting clogged.

I really like that idea but I've already ordered my gauges

I was actually to scares to drill into the dash to mount the dash pod incase i dinet like it for now it's on with hook and pile tape

Ok guys I'm lost...
Siting here going through the instructions for the wiring and it really isn't clear.
This 3 gauge wiring kit dose it reaplace the harness that comes with each individual gauge or connect to it?

Are you gonna paint it to match??

Eventually yes.
For now no it will just be black.

Ok I'm at it again. Wiring in another gauge!
But I've run into a problem. In the fuse panel under the dash I've used every constant power source to it. So I'm thinking run a wire tithe battery.
How exatly would I go about doing that?

well on my 93 there is a rubber grommet close to the steering shaft you can poke threw and run the wires that way thats the best way and also what i would do is use that wire to power a relay that is triggered by your switched source so that your gauges get their constant power straight from the battery and also their switched power for a dedicated gauge relay so that it never interfers with your trucks electrical

Hey I likethat idea!
Next time dash is apart I think I'll do that. But for now gauge is in and almost workingg
Seems to funk out every once and awhile ******* itself and flashing then going back to normal. Time to check my wiring
And I guess I bumped somethin loose because water temp gauge lights up but no signal.
Bout to tear back into her!
