I guess I'm glad I saved an old android. Thanks.
Any suggestions for a mount?
Those are both available on my SCT BDX, so should be available through Torque Pro. The big one that I'd like to see, but we can't in our trucks is oil pressure. You don't know there's a problem with oil pressure, until the idiot light comes on.
Yes you can bring those up and set up your screens with many different gauges. Other thing that is great with Torque pro is that you can also do fault codes and check them and clear them.
Do you have any more pics/info on your setup/what you used to put it together?Here is my gauge setup. I purchased an Autometer 3 gauge pod that has a pedestal so the gauges will be above edge of the tray. Vacuum/Boost, Oil Pressure and Voltage.
I started to do the install about a month ago and planned to install a Tee where the factory low oil pressure switch is but found it had a metric thread and couldn't find fittings that would work with the 1/8 NPT gauge sender and the metric factory switch. I wound up getting this adapter that sandwiches between the block and oil filter.
I am hoping when I take out the upfitter switch pod there will be enough slack in the harness to relocate down on the center stack near the coin tray. I don't plan to use them so if I can't no sweat.
For the boost gauge I purchased a setup mentioned in another thread that allows you to tee off the intake manifold without cutting any vacuum lines.
Here is a picture of it installed. There is an issue with my phone's camera and the LED back lighting in the gauges that doesn't capture everything back lit at the same time. So the picture is with the engine off.
Thank you!Here is a picture of it installed. There is an issue with my phone's camera and the LED back lighting in the gauges that doesn't capture everything back lit at the same time. So the picture is with the engine off.
The gauges are from Glowshift as is the oil filter sandwich adapter and as previously mention the gauge pod came from Autometer. The gauges are LED back lit and you have your choice of seven colors. I have been using Ice Blue.
The boost gauge came with soft silicone tubing that easily kinked and pinched off the vacuum/boost from the engine. I wound up using 1/8" nylon tubing and picked up some 90 degrees tubing fittings off Amazon for the connection to the gauge. The gauges have three power and a ground connection. Ground is to the frame of the panel under the steering wheel. I used add a circuit pigtails in unused fuse positions in the fuse panel under the dash. Switched 12v for turning the gauges on/off with ignition and constant 12v for the gauge memory. The third connection goes to the headlights to dim the gauge back lighting at night. There wasn't an obvious place to hook it up under the dash so I went without. The gauges are not to bright at night so I won't bother with looking for a place to connect that wire.
I bumped another older thread about a week ago on a similar topic and got no response (it was my first post here on Ranger5G). So I'll bump this one and hope to get an answer. If not, off to create a new thread.
