It all depends on what you're comfortable with - but it's not really hard - just time consuming. The instructions that came with my Autometer gauges were marginal - but I had instructions that I had printed out from a web site that were PSD specific. Basically - if you're comfortable with wiring things - then you should be OK. The pyrometer probe is probably the hardest - just 'cause you are working under the truck, looking up, with drill shavings falling on you! Trans temp sender is cake - you just take out a plug and thread in the sender on the drivers side of the tranny. Easiest place for the boost gauge is to T into the map sensor line.

Like cat_man said, it's not too hard, just takes time and patience. The autometer gauges weren't too horrible to install, it helps to know your truck and what is where on it and what you can use and what you can't. I don't have the most knowledge of PSD's, but the more you work with them the more you get to know things better.
