Auto Meter 18022 Gauge Works Dual Overhead Console Pod

I bought this gauge pod for my 2007 GMC Sierra Classic. The pod is installed by mounting to the windshield with some very aggressive 3M Velcro. This is the only thing supporting the pod, so I moved up my rear-view mirror to help support the pod from underneath. The Velco that's included works very well but it's white in color. The drawback is you can easily see the white squares of the adhesive side through the outside of the windshield. Not a big deal, but it detracts from the appearance of the truck slightly. Some black Velcro would have done the trick but I was in a hurry installing this so I just used the stuff that was included.The pod does limit how much you can adjust your rear-view mirror somewhat but I was able to find a spot that worked.The pod was VERY easy to paint. I got some Dupli-Color plastic and vinyl paint and all I had to do to prep the surface of the pod was hit it with a 3M scuffing pad. Three coats of paint and it was good to go. The texture in the plastic doesn't match the factory plastic in the overhead console but it's pretty close.The AutoMeter 2 1/16" guages fit in to the pod with no modifications. They are a perfect (tight) fit and I didn't need to secure them from the back at all.The top of the pod doesn't match up to the headliner perfectly, but it's a pretty small gap and could most likely be remedied by using some thicker Velcro on the windshield.Overall a good product that didn't require any modification (other than painting) to work. It's getting four stars instead of five because of the white Velcro and the fact that it doesn't quite line up with the headliner, leaving a small gap at the top.

Decent overhead gauge pod. The way it mounts to the windshield is kind of flaky, it just sticks using double-stick tape. It's hard to keep it flush with the headliner this way with the weight of two gauges pulling down on the other end. I ended up moving my rearview mirror up so the gauge pod rests on that. Looks decent, there's a little bit of a gap between the pod and the headliner, but it's not too bad. I've had the style mount that puts the gauges inside the pocket in the factory overhead console and even though the location of the gauges in this mount is close to the overhead console, these are much easier to glance up and see.

mount works great, can get loose every once in a while but that's honestly expected.

If you are running a pyro don't by cause the harness won't reach or at least it didn't on my 04 2500 duramax
