Gauge Calibration Numbers

Does anyone know what the gauges are calibrated at; i.e., low and high numbers for tranny temp and water temp on the 05's? When I look at the gauges I'd like to know what the numbers are.

You have guessed one of the reasons many install aftermarket gauges. That and the in-dash ones do not seem to read true temperatures. StevenG

Basically, no calibration, only lazy lies.
The only gauge I believe is the fuel gauge, and only when it reads empty.
The stock gauges are as good as not even being there.
Get yerself some real gauges, plenty of threads here that speak of it to help ya out with choosing and installation.
