Don we all know Bigger is Better, especially here in TEXAS!
How big is the unit in total?
It fits inside your ashtray but how does it compare to a pack of smokes?
Whos wire harness did you use?
Glowshifts or theirs?

Here are the dimensions of the unit.
24 x 48 x 75mm (1/32 DIN) or roughly 3/4 (H) x 1 7/8 (W) x 3 inches (L)
I have one of those clocks too, I'm saving it for when mine goes bad.
He put the gauges where the cup holder was and different colors for different things, very nice.

I purchased my Disco in December of 2010 and it had 70K on it. From what I can tell it looks like the Head Gaskets have been replaced. It now has 106K on it. Only thing I have done to the truck is the 100K service and changed the rocker cover gaskets.
I had been using the standard oil filter and Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic.
I don't have any oil pressure readings from that setup.
My current readings are with 5w40 Rotella T6 synthetic and a Mobil 1 301 filter.
The truck has alway run a synthetic or synthetic blind. I have receipt from the PO showing the dealer using Castrol 20w50 synthetic blend.
The reason I switched to Rotella was due to when I change the rocker covers the inside wasn't bad but nowhere as clean as Street Wolfs. This thread shows my rockers.
