Gauge hook up

[Gummel]

Could I get some advice on installing gauges? transmission temp, boost, exhaust temp, what wires do I tap into to get dash lights, ignition.

As always thank you all for the advice.

It's questions like yours that make it great to have a search funtion that works. Here's some good info http://www.dieselpage.com/gimain.htm

I went there but there is no info on the wires to tap in to (color, location etc. )

Hi Gummell,

Will try to assist you if I can remember what I did on mine. I found an eight wire plug just to left of steering column under dash. Where I do not have power locks or windows it was very easy with test light to find keyed and fused power. I found a panel light feed wire behind fuse block for dimmable dash lights. If I were do it again, I would grab dash lighting from radio light feed as I have aftermarket stereo and the wire was just taped off. Didn't think of that until next day! Oh Well. You do want them to be dimmable but after a week or so I got used to them and run them all the way up. Worst thing for me was getting used to looking around the gauges at intersections, etc. Will hide a very big truck at just the right angle!!! Good luck and enjoy.

If you want to tap in at the fuse box, get a add-a-circuit at Autozone and tap in at #8 for key-on power and #5 for your gauge lights(illum. )
