Exclamation NEED HELP - Installing Gauges

Hey all,

How is everybody doing? Long time no talk. I have been super busy with work over here in Hawaii.

Anyways, I bought a the Autometer Cobalt Pyrometer gauge from RiffRaff Diesel Performance and I will soon be buying the Trans Temp Gauge as well. I already have the drill and tap set, the two slot pillar gauge mount, & the extra wiring and switches so that I can simultaniously dim my dash and gauge lights.

The only issue is that I have not put in gauges before and I am looking for someone to help me out with the install in Western Washington (Fall City), or Central Washington (Ellensburg) when I get back in late september/ early october.

I have seen some DIY directions for installing gauges but the first time around I want to make sure I have help since this truck is my baby. Also, it would be nice to not pay an arm and a leg for a shop to do it.

Is anybody going to be in my neck of the woods around that time that could help? I'll buy beer and throw some cash your way to help.

Let me know,

Thanks!
