08 F250 Pillar Gauge Pictures...

Just like the title, I am looking for 2 or 3 pod pillar mounted gauge pictures..

If you have them installed how are you monitoring boost pressure and are you getting it from one turbo or both?

Just curious...

Thanks....

Am I missing something? Our trucks already have boost gauges.

They have trans temp gauges too. That doesn't mean they are accurate!

That is correct. The Trans temp gauge is a joke. They are on a timer. The truck will come up to somewhere betweel C and H after just idling a few miniutes in the driveway. Feel the pan. She's cold. The OE TT gauge does nothing to tell you what Hot is. A real gauge is a must for anyone towing. As for the boost, they're OK, but a little small for most and they too are known to be innacurate conpared to a set of hard gauges.

Unfortunatley we do not have any pics on our site yet, of the 2008 Ford. We're looking for some. If any of our customers have any, we'll grant you a small refund. Just giveme a call.

Gauges.......

I've been hoping somebody like Quadzilla Products will come out with a gauge pac. that is the same as there Commander. I had one of there Commanders and pillar mounts on my 06' Dodge 3500 and that gauge was sweet.
It looked great and had all the info you need on one screen. They had alarm settings so you knew when you were getting to peak EGTs, Boost, Trans temp etc.
I'm also a big believer in having a good gauge settup for towing heavy. I pull a 15,000lb toyhauler and I'd sure like to know whats going on in this 100deg heat, climbing 7% grades.

Thank you.
They are auto meter pro comp ultra lites but I ordered them thru Nor Cal Trucks talk to Jeff nice guy. and the faces match the stock gauges. Just buy the paint and paint the pod. I'll have to see if we still have the can to the color for you if you need that too.
If you want to see the whole truck it on the one lifted 2008 f-250.
