All you A-Pillar fella's

[CLAYTON]

What order did you put your gauges and why? Would you swtich them after having them for a while?

 

[banshee]

Mine go Pyro, Boost, and FP from the bottom up. Luckily that's the way I wanted them... the wire/line lengths wouldn't allow for anything else.

SRT-10 a-pillar installed with DiPricol Fuel Pressure gauge. I love the look.

Big Carl how much did you pay for yours?

 

[BigCarl64]

Paid $47 for the a-pillar from the local dealer. Took 3 days to get it in. I will try to post some pics tomorrow of my truck and a-pillar. I have my EGT and boost gauges as part of the remote for the TST PMCR box.

Boost/Pyro (switched pre and post), dual temp (trans and rear diff), and fuel pressure. The only change I would consider is moving the boost/pyro to the center location. I wear bifocals and at times its a pain to focus at that gauge on top. It's right in between for me. To far for bifocal and too close for reg lense. The only other answer is to stay young forever .

Do you have to gauges for your pre and post or do you have some type of toggle switch?

Got a mini toggle DPDT switch from Radio Shack. Also have one on the fuel pressure gauge to monitor pre and post filter fuel pressure. I get alot of use out of that fuel pressure gauge. I'm on my third lift pump in 48,000. My bet is that DC will replace a few more for free. Then, I will install the FASS.



This fuel pump started at 16psi when new at idle. We are already to 14psi and it was installed last November. As soon as they hit 10psi at idle the dealer here replaces them. Please understand that I am not bragging. These LP's suck!



Both switches are on the left side of the pillar and are chrome. However, they are so small that they are barely noticeable. I have one buddy who still insists that I should have put them on the right side of the pillar, though. Actually, I believe that they are called micro-mini toggle switches.

I guess u are using and electric fuel guage have u had any problem with the senders?

Top to bottom, Boost, Pyro, FP. Done differently, I would put them top to bottom, FP, Boost, Pyro.

 

[Scrappy]

order

boost on top, pyro on bottom, and fuel psi in center of dash under heated seat switches.

I always thought that I would prefer them with pyro/boost/trans temp, kinda in order of which gauges move the fastest/most.



After driving, I found that I could easily glance at the middle gauge, but to look at the top gauge meant looking, not glancing.



In my next truck, I will put the pyro in the middle.

DF5152,



Yes, I replaced one of the senders about a month ago. It began leaking fuel from the connector terminals. Unfortunately, it was too old to be replaced n/c but the fellow at Geno's made an adjustment and I was satisfied. BTW, I have my senders mounted on the fender apron and the firewall with hoses going to the injection pump and filter.



If this becomes a reccurring problem, I won't be happy and will change it.
