Pilar post gauge pod that ACTUALLY FITS??!!!

[jess t]

I installed a couple gauges in my 92 C1500 (trans temo, fuel pressure) in a pilar post gauge pod. Everything works great except!! the add on gauge pod doesn't even come close to fitting the contours of the factory pilar post cover. Does anyone make one that actually fits? TIA, jess in ky

Which brand doesn’t fit? I used Autometer and it fits perfectly.

What fuel pressure gauge and sending unit are you using? (I’ve been looking).

Any install pics?

I'll get a pic Wednesday, (out of town). I used an Autometer trans temp and this fuel pressute gauge: https://www.walmart.com/ip/52mm-Ult...4694215bd0d71da5d7f844645848fecf&gclsrc=3p.ds

In picture above I installed a GlowShift transmission temp. gauge. Kinda was a waste since eventually I got Dash Command that has transmission temp.

Well it’s also a universal one, so I’m not too surprised. It looks like if you rotated it to the right it would snug up some.

That “universal” one is obviously sh*t. Get an AutoMeter specifically for your truck. They come with screws, but I laid it out and used a bit of contact cement to hold, while Super Glue dried.
