Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or, Rob didn't get some last night.

Sorry man, NO I didn't get good sleep last night. First night on 2nd shift
. Again sorry, my bad. 3:30 to 1 am, I'm tired.
I just have to chuckle at
1 - the fact this has only been out a month or so and someone is looking for write-ups. etc..
and
2 - that someone thinks there gonna do a mod like this and be able to "just plug it in"

ok well im just 17 and got my first truck and was looking for some advice and help. just wanting to know if it would be somthing that i would be able to do myself. and when putting in new gagues how much wiering work is needed
Basically all the wires are there for your "standard gauges" depending on what package your interior was done up with. Some may be idiot lights but I think the wiring is the same, just the sending unit would be different but you'd have to double check that.
Oil pressure
Water temp
Volt meter
Fuel level
Speedo
Tach
On another note, you may not want to reuse the 20 year old stuff. Could be worth the work to replace some wiring.
All the diagrams for these trucks are available online and most if not all have been posted here on CK5.
