Not very hard to install. About three hours if you don't fiddle faddle around. It'll depend on the brand of gauges for the wiring complexity. If you can install a stereo and speakers, you can install gauges.
Here's a install sheet.

gauges are fun.

Most are 3 wires. With the exception of the EGT, our trucks pretty much lend themselves for gauge installations.

I have the DiPricols and highly recommend them. BUT, Clay is offering a deal that would be hard to pass up. Personally, I don't like those blue gauges. I like them to match the stock cluster, and the DiPricols match PERFECTLY. I think IssPro has a set that's pretty close too. The nice thing about the DiPricols are that they are lit with LEDs -- no light bulbs to worry about. Here's what mine look like:

I know that I am out of my league not having a PSD but I would like to just say that if you would like to get gauges and also help out one of our own and support a newly built business give riffraff a call and see what he can do to set you up. He is trying to get started and I am a FIRM believer in helping one achieve their dreams. He does also have a good rep from the guys that he has helped out in the past from what I have read in here and I know that He would appreciate the business.
