Does anyone know if an altimeter from an airplane will work without the plane? I want to put one in my runner, not sure if it will work. Any thoughts?

 

Yep, it will work without the plane. All it measures is air pressure.

 

Thankyou. Now I can start shopping on ebay

 

Yeup, it'll work in terms of being able to read the current altitude, but...

...I think most airplane electrical systems are 24v - your truck is 12v.

 

they have some that are all internal and mechanical...non-powered..those will work..but they are very large and are very very old......It would be best to just get a GPS with alt on it...prolly run you less $$$ as well.

 

Or get a factory SR-5 "clinometer" pod, backlit and has tilt and slope indicators as well as the altimeter:



GPS is sweet, too.

Have gps already. Would like a gauge just for the heck of it. I dont want to go with the gauge pod b\c of the size. I would however like to get my hands on the middle pitch\roll gauge from the old montero's or raider. anyone know of good sorces?

 

Check ebay for the pitch/roll guages. There was also a guy on 4x4wire that had some montero or pathfinder guages for sale a while back.

As far as the altimeter, check this one out from Cabela's

 

Hey man, you still in bozeman?
