I havent got it wired up yet. my truck is still in pieces. So if it throws a code its news to me. the unit just regulates voltage.. computer reads that and adjusts the guage accordingly. maybe yours is putting out to many volts or not enough would be my guess.

This is what I have

Patman should be able to help you out with your issue.

u sure that'll work? 89 and up ford has a 16-158 ohm gauge (i think)
either way i could just get the gauge for that unit


i think my engine lights on from that charcoal canister, u know if theres a way to hook it up to a fuel cell or even just having the wires hooked up would make it work?

I got my drop spindles from summit racing. (summitracing.com) they are 2" I believe. Im not sure of the price.



Havent done much of anything to the truck. Both front fenders are welded in. And just waiting on the rear axle to come back from being shortened. Said it was going to be done late last week........ When i do get it ill start on tubbing out the bed and putting the center section in. Then the body comes back off.

Yeah you will be looking at around 3 bills for brand new drop spindles. Summit, stylin trucks, sport truck direct, just a few that offers.

lol yeah thats the same deal with every place that narrows axles its never on time.
