This is what I used when I installed my guages on the 02.

Thanks for the link Im so glad there is a plug on the side of the tranny for the temp sensors. I thought I was gonna have to pull my tranny pan and drill a hole in it for the sensor. I wasnt to thrilled about doing that but now I dont have to. And the wiring set up helped a lot to. I kinda like there guages better then mine I like how the EGT gauge has the diffrent colors when the needle is getting close to 1200 the autometers I got look really good to match my factory 02 dash gauges almost perfect I just dont have any color in them like the diesel manor ones do.

There is an easier access to the dash light feed wire under the steering column. There is a brown connector with 6 wires. The top center is the lt blue wire with the red tracer. This is the same wire as described in Diesel Manor's instructions. Just a little easier to get to. Acoording to my info, this wire may be yellow on the 2002. I did everything else pretty much the same as their instructions.
