gauge install

[snwbrdngrx14]

i have a 2001 f350 single cab, i bought gauges a few months ago and finally have time to install them. They cam with a "how to" manual but i was wondering how long its gonna take me ... i know my way around a wrench but am no where near a pro.

This might help -> Gauge Installations at DieselManor- 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke

It's not a "Pro Only" kind of job,,, but it does take a variety of knowledge like Trim - Electrical - Mechanical

I'm sure you won't have a problem!

Mainly, make sure you have GOOD electrical connections.

I did mine not so great the first time as far as wiring goes. The other parts were easy and quick.
Taking your time really carefully would put you around 5 hrs or so. Took me 3 1/2 just to redo my wiring.

I made the wiring with my Isspro gauges look OEM (plastic loom, good Scotch 33 electrical tape for the ends of the loom), but even with that, it took me about 4 hours, not including paint time for the gauge cluster.

I installed my gauges and they awesome. The only thing isn't my pyrometer doesn't move, any ideas why?

Bad wiring, bad gauge.

Did you forget the probe or install it in the wrong place?
