Smile Finally Did My Guage Install

Well I finally put in my Merry Christmas to me Isspro guages. The Dieselmanor instructions were great and very detailed and there was only one error on the instructions and it was the very first one that said it could be done in 3 hours! It took me 6 hours to do the install and that only included two beverage breaks . I thought drilling and tapping the manifold would be the hardest thing but it went pretty good. After the install I took the truck for a test run and when the stock tranny temp guage was at the midpoint between H and C the new guage had not even moved!!! I have seen in post's saying it was nothing more than a idiot light but did not realize how big of an idiot it really is!! Thanks to all here for all the posts on guage installs because I knew exactly what to expect before even starting.
