I think that pod is more of a universal mount, and I have only seen it in 3 gauges, not 4

hope this helps

I've only ever seen three gauge pods for there...


IMO i wouldn't want them over the mirror, too hard to see...

I just finished installing a two gauge pod over the rear view mirror, looks & works great. Pyro & transmission gauge. I could get some pictures of that if you want. I could take pictures tonight and post it tomorrow.

I have not seen the 2 gauge pod yet.

If you could post some picks that would be great!

Thanks

I put two pictures of my 2 gauge overhead in my gallery. One at night and one in the day. I like the looks. Dieselmanor for the kit. I used Massdiesel for the transmission line. Both great places. I had a problem with the transmission line (leaked a little) . They said I mounted it wrong (I do not believe that but did'nt rule it out ). But he sent me another one just the same, it's in and all is great. Things happen sometimes.

Beaumont man, I ordered it out of the states (Tennessee) from DPP I think was the place (Mark Craig was the guy) and had it shipped but the UPS guys killed me on the brokerage fees!! My dealer actually did the install, but only because I din't have the time at the time and they had the truck in the shop so what the heck!

I do prefer the location above the mirror and have to move mine over slightly so that the visor doesnt' block them when it's down.

By the way, welcome to the board! Always nice to see more Alberta boys around!

Im envious of you having a dealer that would put the whole sysyem in. My closest dealer said they could'nt install the gauges for legal reasons. So installed it myself. I had a problem with a small leak and no time to fix it. So went to a different dealer, The place in Janesville, Wisconsin have a great place there. They installed my Massdiesel transmision line and had some good information, very helpfull. It is great working with good "grounded" people.

B-MAN....i would go too the diesel shop in edmonton(not sure if i can use the name or not) too have it done personally!! They quoted me 550 for 3 guages installed!! I am sure if you actually went in there they would cut more of a deal!

Loved them in cool weather!

I had a 3-guage pod above my mirror last year at this time. The location is perfect for viewing cause I'm always looking at the rearview mirror anyway. The guages are tilted towards the driver.

We left CA and drove up to AK and back, took 6 weeks to go about 10K miles. Not a single problem with pod or guages even though we went as far North as Coldfoot (read that as lots of frost heaves and pot holes).

But, vacation has to end and we came back to CA and the warm weather. The first week it hit the 90's, the pod sagged and came down. I was using the Xtra Heavy Duty plastic sticum stuff that wouldn't come off (it did anyway).

A call to Geno's and they said they have had some issues and sent me more sticum (like plastic velcro). That lasted till the next hot days. Geno's took care of me and sent me an A-Pilar 3-guage pod.

It looks ok, I guess. Not my favorite place for guages. If I were to do it over, I might put them under the HVAC controls as some others have done. But, I don't look down there all the time either.
