As far as the gauges go, there isn't really much of an established testing procedure that I've ever heard of... Probally be easiest to just replace the gauge outright... |
I cant stand it when i cannot figure something out, i just got in from outside and i manually zero'd the gauge by moving the needle, as soon as I turn the ignition on, the gauge pegged. It seems that there may be a short or the gauge is fubard.
As far as tips, do not half ass anything you will regret it. I did so much as half as my fuel tank, but I did use my stock non baffled tank and anything below 1/2 tank with fuel slosh you get a nice fuem pump whine from running the feual away from the pump. I would use all truck accessories they fit nicely in the frame rails. Also, find a dual line fuel rail for the intake....it makes the fuel system pretty easy. If you do not get a dual line I have a trick or two for that system as well.
