Sounds like that would work good because of the extra leverage you would have. Thanks for the tip! .

Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread

I finally got a couple of things finished up on the Dually Project that I have been working on for a couple of months off and on. One of them was the cruise control, and the other was the temperature gauge that wasn't reading correctly. The problem with the cruise was the switch was bad. I replaced the switch and it now works great! The temperature sender on the 8.1 is a 3 wire sender and the Green wire was for the instrument panel gauge. (first picture) The stock '71 temperature gauge was reading really low, just above the cold line, when HPTuners said that the actual temperature was 195º. (second picture) I solved that problem by adding a 150 OHM Resistor - Colors: Brown-Green-Brown-Gold, between the Negative side of the gauge and the ground post at the bottom. (third Picture) That made the gauge read just above the center line @ 195º (fourth picture) Here is a good resistor color calculator: https://resistorcolorcodecalc.com/ I was really glad to get these two things finished up. .
