It includes a tan triple pillar pod, a 7 color series gauge set, a boost MAP line adapter, and corresponding wiring harnesses. Best for Ford F-250/F-350 trucks with tan interiors. The pod mounts on top of the factory A-pillar for a clean look. The kit is designed for straightforward installation with step-by-step guidance.
Best for buyers who want a complete, color-matched tan interior look and a 3-gauge setup focused on boost, EGT, and trans temp. Caution: requires proper sensor placement and line routing; confirm compatibility with your engine year and model before purchasing.
GlowShift Gray Triple Pillar Ford Diesel Gauge Kit
This gray-pod package uses the same 7 Color Series with a gray triple pillar pod, including 60 PSI Boost, 1500°F EGT, and a transmission temperature gauge. It’s ideal for trucks with gray interior accents. An overlay A-pillar mount provides a seamless appearance and easy readability. The kit also provides a T-fitting adapter for boost lines and comprehensive wiring harnesses.
Best for users seeking a cooler gray interior palette and a compact trio of gauges. Choose this if your truck’s interior already features gray accents. Limitation: the gray-tinted lens and color options may affect readability in certain lighting conditions without proper dial calibration.
GlowShift Black 3-Gauge Kit with Boost, EGT, and Trans Temp
This kit consolidates three core diesel metrics: boost (0–60 PSI), EGT (0–1500°F), and transmission temperature (80–260°F). It features a black dial, red illuminated needles, clear lens, and 7 solid color modes plus 2 color cycles to match dash lighting. Best for drivers who want a visually bold, high-contrast display that’s easy to read at a glance. Caution: the kit uses a compact set of gauges, so it may not cover all engine monitoring needs for modded builds.
GlowShift Tan Quad Pillar Ford Diesel Gauge Kit
This kit expands to four gauges on a tan quad pillar pod, including 60 PSI boost, a 1500°F EGT, a transmission temperature gauge, and a 100 PSI fuel pressure gauge. The quad pillar pod mounts on top of the factory A-pillar, offering a broader monitoring suite for more demanding diesel setups. Best for users who want extra fuel pressure insight alongside boost and EGT. Limitation: adds more gauge clutter; ensure your dash space and wiring harnesses accommodate the larger pod.
GlowShift Gray Quad Pillar Ford Diesel Gauge Kit
This gray pod four-gauge kit includes boost, EGT, transmission temperature, and fuel pressure gauges with a gray quad pillar pod. It uses the 7 Color Series with a tinted lens and two color cycle modes, aligned to a gray interior. Best for those seeking a four-gauge setup with a cohesive gray interior theme. Caution: ensure the quad pillar pod fits your specific truck trim and that wiring runs reach the A-pillar comfortably.
Buying Guide
- How many gauges do you need? If you mainly monitor boost and exhaust gas temperature, a 3-gauge kit may suffice. For broader monitoring, consider 4-gauge kits that add fuel pressure in addition to boost and EGT.
- Which pillar color matches your interior? Tan, gray, or black pods coordinate with factory tones. Matching color improves readability and aesthetics, especially under different lighting.
- What fitment and mounting considerations matter? All GlowShift sets here mount on the A-pillar with an overlay pod. Ensure the pod depth and pillar contours fit your truck’s interior without obstructing airbags or pedals.
- Sensor placement and wiring complexity? Kits include sensor wiring harnesses and power/sensor lines. Plan routing to avoid heat sources and ensure clean wiring paths for a professional install.
- Future-proofing and expansion? If you may mod the engine further, consider 4-gauge kits that add fuel pressure, or plan for a separate fuel pressure sensor kit to complement the existing gauges.
