We wanted to install a temperature gauge in the 80 suburban as the stock one was removed and replaced with a tachometer years before. (it was an ambulance, only had 2 000 kilometers on it, was stored indoors and was maintained very well. It ran perfectly and was in complete mint condition, at least until we sold it to my uncle, my truck is in better shape now, a terrible waste of a truck...) Since we still wanted the tachometer, we just used a soldering iron to melt through the plastic dash and install the new temperature gauge, it looked totally factory installed and very clean. We needed the temperature gauge as we used it as a hauling vehicle, and it overheated on us once...
