Gauge Trouble
Well, the main gauge trouble I am having is that only one works. I have a 69` F-250, and so it has the oil, temp, alt, fuel, and speedometer. The fuel doesnt work because I removed both stock tanks and I have a Chevy tank out back between the rails. The alt doesnt work for some reason. The speedometer doesnt work for some reason, just sorta bounces from like 0-100 as it feels. The temp doesnt work anymore- its stuck on C but that just happened within the last day or so. The oil gauge works though. I was just wondering why this is happening, if anyone could just give out some advice. I dont really care about any of them except temp. Thanks`

Can't help you there.
>The alt doesnt work for some reason.
Never did work right, maybe a needles width on a good day.

Sound like the cable is binding somewhere.
>The temp doesnt work anymore-

If the oil gauge is working ok, then your dash is ok. Ground the sender wire on the engine, the gauge should peg. If not, maybe try a new temp sender.
