Gauge install
Wish the title could say gauges installed......but i have problems with them. have everything wired up right and power going to everything. the trans temp gauge reads 130 and i haddent even ran my truck for more than 2-3 hours and even then i moved it back and foward and truned it off. the pryo wont do anything, at first it jump about a 1/4 of the way around the gauge and then droped back down and now i get nothing from it. any suggestions? plan on calling the ppl my dad got them from tomorrow.

1) what/where did you use for a hot connection for all of the gauges?
2) Did you solder the connections from the EGT probe to the extention lead that goes into the cab? Please say NO! Yel is Pos, Red is Grd. (I think)
3) What did you use for thread sealant on the threads of the senders?
4) Where did you install the EGT probe? (Not related to not working/curious.

did not solder anything
used sealant on the senders
installed the egt probe in the drivers side manifold. it was already tapped from the guy how owned it before me so that made life real easy.

Isspro uses voltage to read for the pyro. If your talking about a false reading when the ignition is off, you cant fix that. Turn the ignition on, and watch for the needle twitch. Tell us what it reads then. Keep in mind these are set up for reading BEWTEEN the ranges of 200 to 1800 degrees normally, so if its 50 degrees off of ambient temp, that really means nothing. Hope some of this info helps

thanks for the help guys but me and my dad figgured it out. some how everytime we followed the wire from the boxes we got them mixed up, but getting a fresh start this morning really helped and we got it all figgured out.
for a side note, if you order your gauges from diesel manor call them they will hook you up if you have an obs. dad didnt do that so we had to tap the intake manifold for my boost.
