o/h console

[Silverfox]

Does anyone know what this came out of. It is in my 94 !!! I am not sure but guessing maybe a s-10 !!Help--need to know so I can do some other things with it !!! Thanks; I need to know if I can put an dic in the front part of it and also from an s-10 or !!!!

It's from a Suburban or Tahoe. If it was from a truck or S-10 the front hole would be smaller.

Thanks for the reply !! Do you happen to know what d.i.c. will fit in there that will work !!!

As mentioned, that is a console out of a sub or 'hoe. Not to fear, you can install 2 1/16" gauges as well as switches in there.

Just wired up mine last night.

That looks awesome but I have a pillar pods already installed !!! Is there anytime of clock or/temp setup that would fit in there !!!

When you make your own parts... the sky is the limit. If all you want is temp and/or clock, ebay is your friend. As mentioned the s10 DIC will not fit, even if you try to make it fit, it won't look right with a filler panel.

Here's a thermometer in blue that reads in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. There are many different ones in red, blue and green. However if you are handy electronics and soldering, you could make it any color you want.

Suburban didn't have an over head DIC. They had HVAC controls in that location.

The smaller consoles in the GMT400's didn't have a dic either. You can install an s-10 style on in an oh console as long as it has the "us/met" button instead of "mode" and the console has the right sized opening. You will need to wire it and use the right air temp sensor for it.

If your truck was OBDII you would have options for other DIC's, but you are obdI so you're stuck with installing an s-10 temp/compass unit or doing something custom.

just like was mentioned in your other post on this same issue: http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?21666-o-h-console-info

Thanks ; I really just didn't know which o/h console I had(have). Now since I posted a pic I know and everything makes more sense !!

Those overhead consoles also came in crew cabs and had a blank off piece instead of HVAC controls. I have one in my '94.
