Diesel Manor gauge install

[JRBurn]

I ordered the Diesel Manor 3 gauge complete kit with the ISSOPRO white faced gauges.

Install was a snap, no problems except the transmission probe wich you needed an additional part (Probe manifold). The colors match up great at night, easy to read just had to dim the boost gauge light with a magic marker, the only thing I do not like is the fit of the a-pillar, too many gaps and it's a bit wavey down the windshield, so I will get one from Banks like my Ford it's a bit thicker ABS. All said a nice gauge package for 3 bills.

Got my triple-pillar pod and ISSPRO EV's from DieselManor too, but my pillar matches up and fits great! (photos of my truck's installation are featured on DieselManor's website in the ISSPRO/Cummins section). Dave at DieselManor did mention during my purchase decision that there were a couple of suppliers for the triple pillars. Mine was from GaugeWorks. The screw hole was properly chamfered to accept the factory pillar's grab handle screw, the "grain" pattern was pretty correct, the color matched up nice and the fit to the dash/windshield/A-pillar/headliner was relatively flawless. Is the back edge of your pillar fully inserted into the entire length of the groove along cab's the door opening seal? I found that if it is not fully inserted, it can press the pillar cover forward and over, making for poor alignment against the dash top and the windshield. Take another look at yours.

I'm going to go with that setup. I just need to come off those three bills for it all.

Hi JRBurn,

Glad you're happy with the gauges. They were designed specifically for the 2003-Up Rams. They just so happen to match the newer Fords too, but this is the wrong forum for that We have been supplying the Gaugeworks replacement pillars with our gauge kits for several months now. Before that we were using the ProPods pillars. They're good, but the GaugeWorks just seems to be a little more refined in this application. If you are still having fitment problems let me know and we'll make it right by you, but do take another look to see if there is just something subtle that you might be missing with the mounting.



As for the trans adapter, we are going to be offering them in 2 weeks, so you wont have to source them at the hardware store. We are also going to be offering a replacement trans cooler line that has a T in it for the senders. The T will not obstruct the ATF flow at all, and there will be no core charge on the product. You get to keep your old one. So we'll have 2 options for the TT gauges.

Just out of curiosity dieselmanor, I've got the Juice with attitude so I don't really need pyro or boost. I could really use trans temp and fuel pressure. Do you have a special to mix and match or do I have to buy them separately?

 

[Diesel Manor]

We don't have a kit for that combination, but we'll gladly put one together for you if you like.

David, I've triple check and reinstalled the pillar several times now, the alignment with the screw is dead on, I've always pulled the weather stripping off before I install the pillar and as soon as I replace the weather stripping it moves the pillar over about 3/8 and moves it along the windshield (covers the black on the windshield) and there is a gap where you can see a hole at the base of the pillar. any help would be appreciated.

Like I said before it's a real nice setup and very happy with the gauges.

Thanks, Jack.

I ordered mine from Diesel Manor as well. Haven't installed them yet as I am still in Iraq. Once installed though I will post my results here. I do have to say though that David is outstanding when it comes to customer service, so I am not anticipating any problems.

Ty, keep up the good work. stay safe.

When I put mine together, also from DM I took off the rubber trim piece from the stock pilar and put it on the new one. The fit is perfect and it matches the other side very well, this trim piece would help close the gap you have and make it look just like the pass. side. I did not have any gaps in mine but wanted it to look as factory as possible.

I just intalled my guages, tripple a pillar/ boost, pyro, trans temp, from diesel manor. I couldn't be happier, They look factory. It was a simple install for me.

I installed my boost and pyro guages last week (DiPricol Optix) awesome guages but have been displeased with the quality of the pillar pod. I was at least thinking it would have the factory centering clip pins, but just has the screw. Bottom just seems to rest at the dash. I may have to look at my install but can't see how to do it wrong. It is in behind the weatherstrip. I wish the SRT 10 pillar had a 2 guage set up.
