What is involved with hooking up the attitude monitor? Is everything you need to do it included?

The monitor is easy to hook up, its like the juice, plug and play. Only PITA part is drilling and taping the mani for the egt probe. You do need to run the cable for the attitude through the firewall and mount it wich may be another kinda pain part but still easy. Lots of options on were to mount em, I have min mounted on the steering colum.


Everything came in the box that was needed. John even sent me a sticker and a pen, woohoo!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

I need to take some pics......I made a bracket outa some 1/8" steel and am using velcro to hold it on the colum. Its attached just above the turnsignal. It blocks up to the 500rpm point on the tach but aint no biggy for me. It would probably block more if I wasnt tall. I think I might make something else though.


I like it in this area since its with all my other gages at a glance yet you cant really see it from the outside. I like the in the upperconsul approach but I like to have things in easier viewing since most of the time I am glancing at the gauge I am doing something that requires a bit more attention to the road.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif
