SSplaytoy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Has anybody put gauges on their truck that go past 120? I know if you do you have to recalibrate it all. I want one that goes to like 140-150 with a tach that goes to 7k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEEZARR1&SS Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED ON IT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) Top speed on my truck is supposed to be set at 150. At least that is what Brian at PCMFORLESS said he set it at, but I won't go 150 I don't think Edited March 11, 2005 by SSplaytoy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 i was thinkin the same too! i knoe the the top speed on the meter doesnt show how fast the truck is, but i think it makes it feel a bit faster when the top speed is higher.. know what i mean?

Big O Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Don't forget to factor in the slow effect ... you know ... your speedometer will have more numbers therefore smaller distance between numbers .... resulting in your needle going really slow when you punch it ... I kinda like the old school speedo's ... go from 0 to 80 punch and your needle just fly's across the gauge ... kinda cool looking to see that sucker just climbing like hell as you run through the gears ... but hey thats just me.

fordsareslow Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Make your own guage setup. I am doing that for one of my other rides right now. I am using autometer phantom guages with a 10k RPM tach and a 160mph speedo, the only thing is right now it is a 6cyl. (hopefully not forever) I took out the stock guage cluster, and made a alum. template and cut my holes accordingly. Then you just have to install what ever guages you want. Takes some time, but well worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
