    Speedhut gauges for our FGT's

    Hello all... I'm back home from a long race weekend in Tennessee. It seems our FGT gauge project is being well received so far. The gauge illumination looks awesome after dark, gauge faces are back lit and also uses an LED to emit a red glow from the pointer. It looks very cool. I have some...

    Electric Gate Opener Recommendations?

    We've got two Patriot openers for our gates... both have been in service for about 6 years. While they both have been OK, that's about all... main cylinder slide bearings & tube seals in both actuators have significant wear and are not easily replaceable. I'm constantly having to readjust...

    A minor victory in my world

    Sorry guys, I can't post up the gauge pics on the forum without permission. I don't have that yet. I appreciate the nice comments made thus far concerning the project. I'm working with a couple of very talented guys at the mfg that deserve the majority of the credit. mardyn

    A minor victory in my world

    The 1400T was too tall. It fit in the battery holder, but the front inner liner hit the battery posts before it was seated all the way down. I suspect a 1200T might work, but since I used the application guide on the Odessey web site (which indicated 1400T for our cars) and it didn't work... I...

    A minor victory in my world

    As I slowly bring my FGT back on line from its long dormant phase due to multiple gauge failures, I wanted to replace the OEM battery at the same time. After an attempt to use an Odyssey 1400T went awry, I elected to use one of the Sears Platinum Die Hard AGM batteries that many others have...

    volt meter and boost gauge

    I'm working with the mfg on the final calibrations for my alternative FGT gauges this morning. The new stuff looks really good so far and should be an excellent (and much more affordable) option for those of us in need. Out of respect to the other forum vendors, I'm a bit limited on what I can...

    GT Battery Replacrments / Definitive List

    I purchased a 25-PC1400T Odyssey for my car and it was too tall for the tub to seat back in position. The bottom of the tub hit the battery posts. Had to send it back for a refund.... shipping on those heavy batteries isn't cheap either. mardyn

    GT / Sears Platinun Die Hard P-3 75/86DT

    That's the problem around here too... most Sears stores have one or two, but they've all been in stock for several months, and they can't reorder 'til the stock is depleted. One store still had 2008 vintage Die Hards on the shelf... which, btw, are probably fine, but I want a "newish" one for my...

    GT / Sears Platinun Die Hard P-3 75/86DT

    I'm still on the hunt for a battery for my car too. Love the Sear Die Hard, but everyone I've checked around here (DFW) has been sitting on the shelf since 4/10. Anyone have any tips on how to get a recently built/fresh one? I've still got the dash and the battery out of my car for now, so I'm...
