gauge installation

[RichB59]

Well I got my isspro gauges and A pillar three gauge mount, put them in on Friday. It went very well and every thing works great. I'm getting about 19 lbs boost with a stock engine this truck really runs great. Thinking about the EZ edge for the next addition. Takes alot of talking to the better half, hope it's worth it. I am getting a little rattle out of the boost gauge but understand this normal.

Rich, I put the same gauges in last weekend. I have seen the rattle mentioned before but my guage hasn't made any noise like you described. Like you, I am seeing 19 lbs max boost. 19 lbs on a 50 lb guage looks kinda wimpy so time for some more parts to make MO'PAWAH!!

If you secure the tubing to the boost gauge with the wires in the a-pillar(tape them together), the rattle will go away. Or mount the boost in the lowest hole in the a-pillar.

Thanks Fred I'll try moving the boost gauge. I had the MagHitech trans pan put on today And really have to work the truck to get a reading on the trans temp gauge. I have the probe in the pan for now looks like I will have to change it to in line. Who sells an in line fitting. Maybe a cheaper way to go than the entire line with fitting?

To get rid of the "rattle" try cutting the nylon line about a foot from the engine and putting 6 inches of rubber tubing in. Sure got rid of mine.

I'm wanting to put some guages in my 99 QC 3500 and really like the A pillar mount. Can someone elaborate on the difficulty factor. Is it an easy job or does it take the better part of a day and alot of cussing? I've only had this truck for about a year and it's time to start the bombing process and guages are first on the list. Thanks.
