Thanks 250. It's tight in there, but didn't won't my gauges anywhere else.
By the way, I also got the bulldog keyless entry that you installed in your truck. Gonna tackle it as soon as I get the chance.

I caught that when I had my turbo off last year. I routed the wire on the other side of the snail hat. Thanks for the info.

Rechecked the wires this evening while I was fresh. The problem was a loose connection in the switch at the head. Thanks Mac.

That plug is a pain in the *** to get out! Its 9/16" square, and I couldn't find a socket that would fit right. Finally found a 5/8" square socket in a box of old sockets that I had and stuffed some stuff in it to shim it out so it fit right.

Then had to really crank on a breaker bar to get it to loosen, thought it was going to pop off and break something else.

I'm pretty sure I had a cheater pipe on my breaker bar when I got it to break loose. The angle is all funky and so much stuff is in the area its a real pain.
