lol true... i try to make mine look good... like the labeling underneath??? sharpe's are great lol

ill have to take another pic since i re-did the gauge mount... when i originally made the bracket i forgot to account for the gauges weight... noticed driving it around this week the pod was pulling away from the bracket since i only supported it in the back.. fixed that today...

DNFXDLI · Aug 23, 2014

Labeling never hurts!

Sparky83 · Aug 23, 2014

sure doesnt... will remind me for later when i install loads more...

Looks awesome!!! Just a little FYI your trans temp will read a little higher with your sender there compared to if you tapped into the pan. It's no problem as it's better to read high than low!!!

Sparky83 · Aug 23, 2014

lol very true... rather read higher than lower for sure... i have the alarm set for 210 since thats where people said was trouble for the trannys over heating.. but been told short of pulling max load/cooler failure i shouldnt get anywhere near that even with it there... highest i saw while running around town earlier was 162.. but they were short runs...

I have a deep pan on mine, I had a trip up the mountain a few weeks ago and hit 180. That's a big steep winding pull for around 20 minutes. And I was going pretty hard!!!
