DmaxalliTech,





You know the spot on the dashboard where the airbag switch is on the 2003's? I would like to put a rectangular digital EGT guage in the top spot. But being too lazy to rip it all apart and measure it, I thougth I would ask if you (or anyone else) knew how large of a space is behind there?


The instrument I found is 1x 1.9 x 5 inches. Will it fit? I know the top area is about 1 3/8 by 3 1/2 inches, but does it have the 5+ inches of depth??





Unit in question DPi32, DPi16, DPi8 Series (http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=DPi_Series&Nav=pred01) (the DPi32)








Thanks in advence!

I dont know the exact measurements of depth, but I would wanna make sure you have the measurement, those are nice units.

I've stuck my hand in there reaching for the High-Idle harness. I would say you should have 5 inches of back space in most of the area. In my crew cab, the dash storage pocket holds my 4.5 inch long cell phone with a little room left over.

I don't have the air bag switch. I'm almost positive that my cubby hole is at least 4" deep. I will measure it and get back with you.

i just pulled my dash apart a little while ago looking for the PTO harness and i think you should have enough room.
