I don't know if the newer model years are different or not. IMO it is a very nice set-up. I would recommend it to anyone.
Wow, I like that. Too bad the general consensus for newer model years is don't waist your time ordering. I guess the fit is just not good enough.

I just took out the screws that hold the covers in place. I believe there were 3 or 4 of them. The 2 covers bolt together like a clam shell. Once the bolts are removed, the upper cover can be moved around enough so you can make sure that you don't drill into anything behind it. I just took my time and made sure I had the clearance needed to drill. It was not hard.

I will get you a part # tomorrow. I am at work right now. I bought mine at my local speed shop not Summit. I am pretty sure Autometer only makes the one that I have though. I think the picture must be wrong. I will get back to you with the part # so that you get the right one.

sometimes the pictures are mirrored, or look like they are reversed. I bet it is the same cover.

summit is bad about using the same picture for numberous applications ie ford/gm/dcx. I believe the one summit has is the same one. but a part number would be a way to know for sure though!

Thanks guys! Final question, how does the guage stay in the pods? I have a 3 pod pillar that I will also be using, but the gauge is a tad smaller than the opening, what keeps it in there? Do you put something around the gauge (tape, rubber grommet, or something) so that it fits snug in the whole or what?

the U shaped bracket that comes with most gauges will keep it in... you have to put the gauge in the pod before you put the pod down...

On mine the gauge just pushes in and it stays tight

2K5Squirrel is correct...Those are the right part #'s BADMOFO. My truck is automatic so I have part # 15007. You got all the information you will need so you should be set. That is what I like about this site. Good Luck!
