What autometer guages do you guys run-oil pressure- water temp-volts-tach and speedo.. What do you guys run in the other two holes????

rocknss · 12-15-2005, 10:12 PM

I use a Brothers billet dash bezel with Autometer Phantom guages.

71swb4x4 · 12-15-2005, 10:23 PM

Fuel gauge would be a good one.
My last one is tranny temp.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-15-2005, 11:09 PM

Ya I guess that a fuel guage would be a good idea.. That would be the one for the center hole correct??? But hard to find also??

I was hoping to cram
5in: speedo tach

2 5/8: Fuel, Volt, Water Temp, Oil Pressure, Trans temp, And either a vacuum or clock

My cardboard cut out of it looks nice. Just need them fundage now.

I have
Tach & Speedo
Water Temp
Fuel, vacuum, volts, oil pressure

Green cab is the original one
Orange cab is the replacement

Here is the way I have my Autometer gauges set up.

The tach and speed positions are now reversed. Same with the clock and temp guage.

Putter · 12-16-2005, 12:23 PM

Yukon, that clock is sweet! And only 1.1 mile??? Bet it has more than that now?!?!?!

Nope, haven't hooked up the speedo yet

I'm still considering taking the manual speedo out and replacing it with an electronic speedo.

I love my electric one. I have recalibrated it (rear end swap) and the calibration took all of 5 minutes. Awesome.

Aquivarious · 12-16-2005, 02:13 PM

Is there a thread on here already on HOW to convert your stock to Autometer? Kinda wanna know how much work itll take so i can choose between that and getting the kits that dont look the same...

Putter · 12-16-2005, 02:22 PM

Yep....please stand by....

Here you go...LINK THINGY

Mudder · 12-16-2005, 02:28 PM

There's a couple of ways of doing it. Like Putter behind the Bezel or like mine that are put in through the front. Going in from the front is no big deal. Just use a dremel and make the bottom holes a tad bigger and drop them all in. The wiring is what took a little time. I have all electric guages except for the speedo.

Thanks For The Link Putter That Was Gonna Be My Next Question....
