Not sure if you are referring to the Rod Pod I designed, however, its something you can use for any combination of up to 4 gauges and/or switches.

Theres pix of the Rod Pod at www.wildcatdiesel.com

Done.

This is a Rod's Pod from www.wildcatdiesel.com. I'm only using 3 guage holes for guages. The second slot are planned for buttons. Pardon the air compressor guage - I've been informed that it's 100psi ISSPRO replacement still in shipment from Canada.

Here is a 3 gauge pod that I added to. I tried to add the picture, if it did not work, the picture is in my photo gallery.

WOW! dr. kayak that is an impressive setup. i really like the pre-post on the FP and pan-line on the tranny, good idea. I assume you would need two senders for each. do you mind explaining how you did that.

I added the pan sensor for the tranny when I added the MagHytek Double Deep pan. The pan has a hole for a sensor. Got the second sensor directly from Autometer. You just have to run the hot wires from both sensor to the switch. Very little extra cost/work.

For the fuel pressure I ordered 2 sensors with the gauge. Used the taped banjo bolts with grease gun hoses to help isolate the sensors from the injection pump. A lot of people have had problems with sensors failing when they are placed post fuel filter. Mine has been in for over 2 years with no problems. You can see a normal 2-4 psi difference between the pre and post filter reading.

Here is my 6 gauge pillar setup. The onboard air gauge is mounted by the 4wd shift lever.

Looks like several good ideas here. I am leaning towards Firestorm's 4 guage adaptation for the A Pillar, but I like Phox's setup with the pyro next to the pillar on the dash, too. Dr. Kayak has a sweet setup also, but I really like how well my cell phone fits in the cubby hole I suppose I could always get an external holder.

I saw on a sight where a Ford van owner added two 2-guage pods together on the a pillar for four guages. It looked pretty good, too, but I don't know which is best. I liked the looks of the three guage full pillar with a single guage added.
