pillar gauges

strokin6L · Jan 21, 2015

I have a buddy who is buying his sons 6.7...2014 I believe. It already has a 5" dpf delete exhaust, egr deleted, intake and an H&S mini max. He told me he want's a 3 gauge pod for the pillar for egt, boost and trans temp...and then just use the mini max for tuning and displaying oil temp and coolant temp. That's how he has his 6L setup(using an edge insight for EOT and ECT) and really likes it...and wants the 6.7 the same way. I know with these new 6.7's...guys are just using digital monitors rather than pillar gauges. But is there anyone that has pillar gauges on their 6.7? Not too familiar with the 6.7's...I'm more of 6L guy.

Is this what you're looking for? I mean, I know that's a 4 gauge pod but.....I just didn't see any 3 gauge pods in a quick search.

I have a 3 gauge pod on my truck, the only one I could get to fit right was the one I bought from SPE.

Here you go a triple gauge set up with the h&s mini max holder on it .. I love this set up currently don't have it but want it ...I just haven't pulled the trigger on it myself

I bought the auto meter at first but couldn't get it to fit right. That was a couple years ago maybe they have revised them.

The SPE one you can get without gauges in black or grey for $65...

SPE has the only one that will fit. i found that out AFTER i made my own out of fiberglass

Cool thanks guys! Now with my zero knowledge with the 6.7's.....do you hafta drill and tap the intake and exhaust manifolds for the gauges? You guys got any pics of the install on the location of where you tapped into?

I'm kinda confused by this pic.... Is there 3 gauges plus the mini max in this pic....or 2 gauges plus the mini max? I only see 2 gauges and the mini max....but can't tell if the mini max is hiding the third gauge?

Ok cool...thanks! The pic is kinda deceiving...looked like only 2 gauges and the mini max haha. I'd rather it didn't come with gauges....this way he can get the ones he wants.

I just looked at that 3 gauge/mini max combo pod on SPE's website...says it comes with gauges but they only list 2 gauges that it comes with...0-1600 pyro and a 0-60 boost gauge. Doesn't mention anything about a 3rd gauge.

Yeah I see that might give them a call an see if it is a 3 or 2 gauge set up but I don't see why they would sell just the mount set up with out the gauges

I as well have the SPE pillar. It's a nice fit! I hope they can get you setup or answer you about that 3rd gauge!

powerstroke22 · Jan 21, 2015

They carry a few different brands of gauges, just call the shop ask for Devin or Dan.

Do you have any pics of your install? Do you have to drill and tap the intake and exhaust manifolds for the egt and boost gauges?

MEDIC350 · Jan 21, 2015

people usually use the egt probe bung that comes with most egr block off kits..as far as the boost just get a steel bung and have it welded to the CAC pipe

I'll try to get some pics tomorrow but I had a shop do the install.

Thanks....that would be great! I've never popped the hood of a 6.7 yet haha.

There's gotta be an easier way to get a boost reading for a mechanical boost gauge than welding a bung to the CAC pipe.
