Thumbnail Filmstrip of 1994-2003 7.3L Powerstroke Hydra Chip Gauge Pod Switch Images
The PHP Hydra gauge-pod switch is a replacement selector for a Hydra chip on a 1994.5–2003 7.3 Powerstroke. It takes the place of the square dash switch and fits a standard 2 1/16-inch gauge pod, so the two-digit display sits with the gauges instead of being taped to the column.
It is the switch only. The chip stays in the PCM. You still get the same 17 positions: bypass, no-start, and the 15 tune slots. The pod mount puts the readout in your line of sight, which matters when you are changing tunes on the road. It fills an empty gauge hole in a pillar pod or an A-pillar mount.
It fits any 1994.5–2003 7.3 that already has a PHP Hydra. It does not include the chip, the ribbon cable, or the pod.
Fitment

On the gauge pod mount for hydra switch, 7.3l powerstroke, the switch came unglued from the pod mount and i am unable to switch tunes. Does the front face of the pod mount snap apart or is it glued? I have attempted to take it off but i dont want to apply so much force that i break it.

Is there a way to find out what the 00 through 05 tunes are? I recently purchased a truck and I can assume that 01 is stock. 02? 03 low idle, 04 is high idle, 05 is anti theft. What is 00 and 02?
I have this controller in my dash.

This is a nice switch, that actually works. It switches easily between tunes. I installed it to replace the tempermental standard rectangular switch that came with the Hydra. The install was easy as I already had a hole in the dash from the previous tuner switch (which was also circular). You will have to pull the PCM to install the wiring into the chip. If there was a gender mender thing, you would be able to just connect it to the existing wire from the original rectangular switch.

This thing is great. I replaced mine to get a cleaner look going for my truck. It fit snug in the gauge pod and works perfect.

The gauge doesn't fit snug at all in the pod holder and pops out all the time or turns. The numbers are easy to see at night, impossible to see during the day without shielding light with your hands. Usually you have to click the up or down buttons 5 or 6 times before it will move 1 number. Seems like a couple dollar part, it kinda works, definitely not worth 75 bucks.

The core of the body is 3d printed. It fits pretty good but the bezel is loose and the entire pod is not stable in the pillar. I would buy again, but it is disappointing when an $80 part is in need of fixing up to have it stay put.

I really like how this fits in a gauge pod! Works perfect. Glad I spent the extra. Do wish it had a light on the buttons or somehow illuminate them because you can't see them when night driving!
