? About dash overlays

[y-knot]

Guy's I am considering changing the dash in the Dodge and going with a Nu Image white face glow flame. They cover the stock back gounds on the speedo, tach, fuel and other gages for a new or different look. Question is, has anyone else done this? If so how bad was the install? Thanks

O. K



REALLY easy install



No really I wanted to run being the new Ozbornes was coming on (Or so I thought)



Easy to do

Run truck so It's at operating temp



Pull off dash surround



shut off truck and take note of needle position



Remove screws that retain guage cluster



remove plexi cover from guage body



Use supplied needle removal tool and remove needles



(Argh I forget if this step is or is not part of the instructions)

Peel off OEM coverlay



Install new coverlay



Install guage cluster leaving needles off and plexi cover



start truck and make SURE it's back up to operating temp (Even

bring needles with you and go for a drive)



Pull over and install Temperature guage needle pointing to where it allways and faithfully sits when up to temperature.



install Tach , oil , fuel , amps LIGHTLY and make sure they have a good read. if so Send them home



Go back home



clean plexi with L I N T FREE cloth and non harmfull cleaner (Better yet warm water and dish soap and you hand only)



dry it and install cover



install everything else



brag to your buddies



tell elderly that its a factory option



check out that cool epervessent blue lighting at night



chicks dig it so hit babies are us with windows down



buy a 3 pack of brandy new white hanes T~Shirts with nothing on them to accessorize with your new dash layout



wait until novelty wears off



find new bomb to install

Good, I ordered a set for the Dodge and Ford, I'll let you know which one was the worst.

Well the dodge ones should fit the dodge ... definitely The ford ones may not fit right on the dodge guage pack
