Electronic Fuel Guage??

iI want to mount a two pod guage system on the driver side window, like where the " OH ****" handles would be.
I want to have a digital fuel guage and a digital engine temp guage.

1. Which Guages should i buy?
2. How to install?
3. Cheapest cost to install?

1990 F-250 XLT - Lariat - 2WD - E4OD.

Let me know what other info you need.
Thanks!

You'll need to find a schematic for your truck that shows the range of the fuel level sensor's output (in ohms), then find a gauge that can accept and/or be calibrated for that input.

Whatever you choose for your fuel gauge will determine what matching series and style you use for the temperature gauge. Unless you don't care about them matching.

As for installing them, it's usually just a matter of supplying key-switched power, illumination power (likely not req'd for digital displays), and the signal from the appropriate sensor.
