Vacuum Gauge add on 4.7?

PdPuNOme · Apr 28, 2015

Anyone add a vacuum gauge pod to their 4.7? I had one in my last grand cherokee and now that I have the ram I want one in it, so I can see real time my vac readings. If you have done this, where did you tie into and what gauge did you go with, any pics would be great.

I have an Ultra gauge, but it only reads psi. So I get a negative psi reading.

& I don't have it in a pod.
Probly not what you want.

Thanks HeavyD, looking for more finished look with its purpose. Trying to find a white face with green back lighting and black trim ring is ridiculous, hundreds of dollars, so price comparing a cheapo one at 20 bucks that to me will stick out like a sore thumb or invest tons for something that is not an absolute must have. Ill save this mod in thoughts and hope for a junkyard score one day.

Best place I have found for quality gauges although they are a bit pricey is AutoMeter.com

Here is what you want for the gauge :
2-1/16" BOOST-VAC, 30 IN HG/20 PSI, MECH

Here are a few options for mounting :
Single Pod Steering column mount

This one can be put in the storage area below the climate controls (but holds 3 gauges):
Tripple in-dash pod

And they also ahve pillar mount options, but I have not seen any for a single pod.

Hope this helps

Is it boosted or something?

I don't believe it is, but I could not find a vacuum gauge only that fit the 2"1/16... the only one I found was a 2"5/8 and would not fit the single gauge pod...

I guess he wants to monitor fuel economy as he goes....
