Re: Gauges.... Who, What, Where?
gauges are from a 96 dodge ram 1500. Im trying to find someone who does cnc work real cheap because sending the cad file to a prototyper and have SLS performed is like 80 bucks for one piece, and there are a total of 3. taking a chunck of nylon or other plastic and having a cnc router or something cut it should be too much. I just need to find the right person to do it after hours kinda deal. Anyone know anyone that has a cnc machine and has plastic stock??

Re: Gauges.... Who, What, Where?
Dodge gauges? Good idea! Makes perfect sense to me as I have been staring at the white gauges in my Dodge Ram on the way to work lately and thinking they too should/could/might fit in the Chevy cluster!
Admitting I plan on not taking the dash apart again anytime soon (if I don't have to). Everything is working! Those gauges do look nice! ![]() Mark

Re: Gauges.... Who, What, Where?
the gague cluster i got for like 50 bucks, wiring will be pretty simple, as the gaugesg are held in with screws. the screws go through a printed circuit board like our OE and screws to the gauge board. only real setback is the fuel gauge. will have to go aftermarket and get a universal sending unit and drop in in the tank. the ohm reading is completely different and i grabbed a sending unit out of the dodge and im unsure if i will be able to fit it in... the 20$ aftermarket unit will be much easier to retrofit. I just need a place to get the new bases cut out.
