If the gauge is reading correct, leave it alone!
Where's the fun in that?
I am swapping out my stock gauges and adding additional ones, also, I'm redesigning the gauge panel as well as creating a secondary panel that will mount above the driver windshield (the cab has been modified to allow this). I'm not interested in keeping the truck in stock or just going with something because it's working the way it was designed. I posted this in the "
Deuce modification" because I'm working on modifying my truck away from stock. My truck has 4 fuel tanks, 3 electrical systems, 2 alternators and a partridge in a pear tree - I want gauges to monitor everything.
The unlit gauges are not satisfactory for myself - yes, the military had a very good reason for this, but this doesn't apply to me. While I have seen a few posts of people making mods to light the gauges I'm not satisfied with the results. I am pulling all my stock gauges, which all work just fine and replacing them.
While I'd like them to match, this may not be possible as it's hard to find a line that has everything I want that is suitable for this sort of vehicle.. I have looked at the SW Deluxe line and it's pretty close, but I'd have to go outside the line from some items.
I was just curious as to an upper limit in oil pressure and where the danger zone would be.
What I come up with in my normal vernacular doesn't sound right...
