Any dealer who says this is talking . <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I asked a while ago and was told that I needed to have the numbers too. I will try a different dealer tomorow, I really want one of those gauge holders. Anyone know the part number for the gauge pod?Shane.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Youre pushing it now!Don't know it off hand, if I remember it, I'll post tomorrow.

There are lots of these at your local Ford dealership being repaired as we speak! So finding one shouldnt be a hassle.Get the SIDO off it.Go into Spare Parts, ask for a Gauge Pod on top of the ICC for a GT, they will ask for a SIDO, give them the SIDO you just borrowed off broken down GT/F6 or the brand newie sitting in the showroom.The gauge pod is NOT on restriction through FPV, but the spare parts dept has to call DPSG (dealer parts support group) to get the order placed. It is what they call a "Unique Part".The problem everyone is having at the moment, is that the pod is on backorder. Nobody has any. And FoMoCo are still awaiting a vendor promise delivery date. You could be waiting a while. I have waited almost 3 months for some parts to come off backorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
