Which gauge do you think will look better?

Well, got mine installed and everything. Works great so far. I've still gotta tinker with all the settings and set it up how I want to. Also, the manual thats included blows big time so I did some searching and found this

Another thing, i had to trim the metal bracket that came with it so it'd fit in the SRT10 a-pillar. Pair of tin snips or wirecutters will work fine since its soft, probably aluminum.

Yep I did that at first to with the backing but after taking it on and off so many times for little things I just put some good tape on it and stuck it in there nice and snug. Also at least yours caim with a manual mine wasn't even in the box...

Also, just a FYI, the Superchips and Interceptor will work on an OBDII splitter together as long as both don't monitor the same parameters at the same time. Biggest problem, if you leave your tuner plugged in for two days without running the truck. The battery dies. Don't ask me how I know. Forgot I left it plugged in! lol

Also, if you buy the gauge from Moes, you will also get an addtional chrome bezel and white faceplate in addition to what you request for free.

Teach, what A/F kit did you go with? I'm also in the market now, and this thread means a WHOLE lot more now that I know what y'all are talkin about. I havent decided between the LC-1/OT-1 combo like weed or the AI w/ a/f kit to take care of my tuning needs.

With the AI, did you have to buy any extra kits to allow all the functions to be used (other than the A/F kit)?

Yea I'm wondering what you got too.

I was thinking about going with this for ease of compatibility and a single gauge.

Right now I am waiting for the aeroforce wideband kit to arrive. The gauge is already here, I will probably install it tomorrow. I chose aeroforce wideband kit bc it is made to work with the AI and bc it uses the Bosch 4.9 which is supposed to be very accurate. Once the A/F kit arrives I will let you guys know how it works.

An Aeroforce gauge is on my mod list. You mention that your waiting for the wideband kit to arrive. I was thinking the gauge came with all the inputs to be work? What does the kit allow you to do? (Just monitor, or actually control?)

I think they offer them in custom color schemes, if so what did you choose?

Do you have the SRT pillar mod? Are you using this gauge with that pillar or a different pillar mount?

If i was putting a tuner in my dash i would hard wire using t-taps. Then all you would have to do is install an inline rocker switch off the power supply to the OBD so it doesn't kill the battery. The power for that is run off the cigar fuse if I'm not mistaken. You'd need a 20amp rocker switch for that.
When not in use, you turn the rocker switch off and then any other tuner or anything is plugged into the OBD port isn't effected by the hardwired one.
Maybe that'll help a few guys out.

The AI by itself does not monitor the A/F ratio, there is an additional wideban kit that needs to be added on and hooked into the gauge.

I chose the blue/black color scheme. I'll post up a pic after I get a chance to install it.

The gauge is going into an SRT A pillar. Hopefully I can get around to installing the gauge tomorrow and hopefully the wideband kit will
come later this week.
