The Auto Meter 7071 is a complete pre-packaged dual gauge A-pillar kit engineered for 1999–2003 7.3L and early 2003 6.0L Ford Super Duty trucks and Excursions. Built around Auto Meter’s understated Z-Series line, this turnkey monitoring setup pairs subtle factory-matching matte black dials, black bezels, high-contrast white markings, and bright fluorescent orange pointers with a vehicle-specific dual A-pillar mount molded from heat-resistant ABS composite. The kit includes an electric pyrometer exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge (0–1600°F) with a Type-K thermocouple probe, a mechanical boost pressure gauge (0–35 PSI) with nylon boost line and brass compression fittings, and all necessary mounting hardware.

Unmonitored exhaust gas temperatures melting piston crowns under heavy hauling, undetected boost leaks robbing low-end torque, and running blind with aftermarket performance tuning are what this dual gauge kit eliminates. Factory Ford instrument clusters provide zero real-time feedback on manifold boost pressure or pre-turbo exhaust thermal loads. Auto Meter’s matched Z-Series analog dials deliver precision mechanical and electrical data directly in the driver’s forward peripheral view while blending seamlessly into the OEM cab interior. It is a complete two-gauge analog monitoring system with A-pillar pod mount, sensors, tubing, and wiring hardware only; it does not plug into the OBD-II port, flash calibrations, or alter ECM programming.

It fits 1999–2003 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks as well as 2000–2003 Ford Excursions equipped with the 7.3L Powerstroke or early 2003 6.0L Powerstroke diesel engine.

Disconnect both negative battery cables before beginning installation to prevent accidental electrical shorts while routing wiring through the cab firewall. For the most accurate and responsive exhaust temperature readings, drill and tap the driver-side exhaust manifold 1/8-inch NPT upstream of the turbo up-pipe collector, running the engine at idle or packing grease into the tap flutes to trap loose metal shavings. Tap the mechanical boost line into the intake manifold or compressor intake spider using the included compression fitting, taking care to route the nylon line through a firewall rubber grommet clear of sharp sheet metal edges and hot exhaust downpipes. Secure the dual-pod A-pillar mount cleanly over the factory A-pillar trim using the supplied plastic push fasteners, and wire the gauge illumination circuit into the factory instrument dash dimmer switch for glare-free night towing.
