Sounds like they wired it wrong. What year is your truck? What brand of gauge did you purchase?

You may also want to check where Ford put the probe. Ford thinks the probe goes into the down-pipe, not the up-pipe. As we know the down-pipe is not the best place for this.

You have two choices...return it to the Ford dealer that installed it...or fix it yourself! Would I trust the installer???? HAHAHAHAHAHA
