You can find the white face 3 3/8 water temp and oil pressure still. Every so often you can find a fuel pressure guage 3 3/8 like above or a tranny temp guage. I have watched for a long time and I haven't seen any fuel guages. I have a 3 3/8 fuel pressure guage extra but I wouldn't mount it inside of a cab.

Mudder if that fuel pressure gauge doesn't come with an isolator they do make one. Fuel goes to it then something like antifreeze goes up to the back of the gauge.

I didn't know anything about it but just what I read about it. I'm not even sure if it is all there. Shame cause it would sit in that center hole really nice.

i dont want to sound like a cheapo..but i was in oreilly the other day and they had some cool reasonably priced gauges in there. they kinda look like this.

would they be worth the money? that one is an autometer gauge i think, like 54 bucks. but i think the others are a bit cheaper.

djracer · 02-23-2010, 09:02 PM

I would want them all to match each other even if they were different brands.

watahyahknow · 02-24-2010, 01:07 PM

its to bad you cant take them apart as eazy as a regulair cardash , there a lot of custom skins available for gauges wish would equal them verry nicely

drewdude92 · 02-24-2010, 02:25 PM

I didn't get to use the white faced gauges.

Total?
My cluster has somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 in it. New gauges, new bezel, wiring harness parts, etc....

Or labor only?
(please PM me about this, since I am not a vendor). I just do this every now and then.

And....I just happen to have a few (spare) 3-3/8" gauges in the ProComp color scheme (black with white letting). They are (if I remember correctly) oil temp gauges. Now these are identical to Water temp....even down to the sending unit. Same thread pitch, same sensor bulb, etc... The only difference is the actual word "Oil" instead of "Water". So, technically, I figure you can install it to monitor either.
