Is the grab handle still usable? Can you show a picture of the mount? I thought you have to remove the handle. I like my scan gauge but would like to have a true EOT gauge added to my Nexus set of gauges.
Thanks

Re: Monitoring for the 6.0 PSD - scanguage

Here is the pillar mount along with a couple of bad photos but I hope they help. The fit is really clean and nice which you may not be able to tell from my photos.

Re: Monitoring for the 6.0 PSD - scanguage

Thanks Whit. Nice looking pod. Do you think it could be mounted up top above the handle?

Nick, I let my turbo cool to 400-500 before shutdown. After a hard run it takes a couple munutes at idle to reach that temp.

Making sure the AC compressor is off makes a big difference, but I found the van to be slooow to cool back down.

I don't think it would work to mount it at the top, at least not without some serious jerry rigging. Here is a picture looking in from the windshield.

If you are looking for more than one gauge, I have a three gauge pod that mounts above the rear view mirror.

Re: Monitoring for the 6.0 PSD - scanguage

Been there done that



EGT, Boost, Trany

Actually I'd like to add water and oil temp. I have a spot for one on the dash. Just be looking to add a one more. Maybe look to have somebody fab up something. Nexus gauges have been discontinued so I should grab what I can before they're gone.
