I need some ideas to mount the gauge at the moment I just have it rolling around on the floor and or sitting in the ashtray. I want to mount it somewhere where I can look at it while driving for fine adjusting the manual waste gate. I was wondering if any one has a single gauge mounted in there truck and if so where did you mount it. I have one of the sun pro ones so it's kind of on the big side for drilling a hole in one of the square removable panels on the dash.

I have one of the brackets but I was just curious how other people mounted there's before I go drilling holes in things and breaking stuff. I was trying to keep my interior clean since there is only a small crack in the dash. Knowing me I would install it somewhere and drill the hole and not like it.

You could install the one in the first link using existing holes. Mount it down low, below the ash tray area.
I have five gauges in my truck. Three in a pod mounted on the A-pillar. Two overhead in the overhead center console.

The wiper board is a long time known issue on these trucks. Easy fix.
No I broke the lever I m so used to driving fords I turned it back towards me to spray and heard a click know it won't turn off lol. I broke it everything I touch brakes.
If you has a windshield washer fluid PSI gauge you may not of had a problem? Also I mounted a wind speed indicator ontop of the cab, when the wind speed indicates lower than my speedo I know its time to clean the windshield. I hope this helps.
Wait what lol?
