Anyone in Phoenix know where i could have someone Install the A pilar with the guages all said and done? I really dont want to do this myself (Dont want to mess it up). I know that i want egt, but what about the other 2 holes. Boost, Trans temp, Any other ideas. About how much Money is this going to cost? Any help would be great.

Phx450,

Call Dennis at Innovative Truck Parts 602-354-7255, he's mostly a Ford guy but gauges are gauges as far as install is conecrned etc. Good honest guy that will treat you right. Tell him Mark @ DPPI sent you.

I am going to be installing mine this weekend. If you want to come out for the "experiment" factor I will treat you to a beer. I've got the necessary tools, so if you want we can tap yours so your ready when you get the guages.

You'll just need to bring a plug, so we can plug you hole until you get the pyro sensor. I haven't pulled the pyro out of the packaging, so I can't tell you what the thead size is yet.

I live out in North Peoria around 99th Ave and Jomax Road. Let me know if you want to stop by. Depending upon weather, I may do it Saturday or Sunday morning when it is still a cool 95 degrees outside. Actually, with the rain maybe it will be closer to 85. ):h

Out!

I'll find out, I believe I'm working over the weekend. What gauges/pillar did you get? I will shoot you an email this week. Thanks for the invite.

I did mine last weekend, that post was from last week. The install was pretty easy overall and everything works well. It took a few hours, but since it was the first time, it was a bit of an experiment. I could probably do it in 1.5 hours or slightly more now.

I am travelling to the White Mountains this weekend, so I can't do anything this weekend. I would be up for helping another weekend. Let me know.

Out!

I did mine myself. used an autometer 3 gauge pillar and glued it to the existing A pillar cover after cutting a slot in it for the tube and wires. I have a egt and a boost gauge in the top two holes and mounted the Edge Attitude box in the bottom one. Used a PVC cap, velcroed the edge to the cap. I think I had to use one turn of duct tape to make it fit snug. Now when I take it back to the dealer it pops out easy, and if anyone asks the extra hole is for a diff temp gauge.
