I have the idiot light set up also. I'm going to swap it out one of these days for one with full gauges. Idk who decided we needed such a big gas gauge.

The gauges are really just a guess anyway. They aren't accurate at all. Your much better off getting aftermarket gauges.

I've got a temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, volt meter, gas gauge, speedo...and I think thats it.

No tach.

I despise indicator lights. You have no idea as to what is going on until its too late. I added this volt meter and will add a temperature gauge next.

My 92 Ford F150 didn't come with a tach either. 5 speed manual as well.

How do you do the gauge swap? It's not a direct, unhook one then hook up the other, swap is it?
