Aftermarket gauges.

I've seen alot of you guys put aftermarket Suntune type gauges inside the instrument cluster. How do you mount them up?

use search

There are quite a few threads on this subject. Use the search function. There are some good pics. Also, a recent issue of Custom Trucks (or was it Custom Classic Trucks) had an article on the subject.

Many vendors will sell you a complete upgrade. RB's Obsolete has one for about $700 using your old dash insert. No Limit, Boese Engineering and others have billet aluminum inserts that accept aftermarket gauges.

Good luck,
Scott

this is the Boese unit I got installed this weekend.

dash insert

Hey fuzz - try searching with the words "dash insert". I got 2 pages of threads that way.

Hey Patrick - aren't you working? Oh yeah, so am I. Never mind.

I'm talking about putting them in the holes where the factory gauges go. Not getting a whole new insert.

That's why I mentioned two options brother. Glad someone found the article for you, now I won't have to look it up.

good luck, Scott
