guage ?

ok im thinking of upgrading to all new guages, now i have seen alot of them on here and was wondering if you can buy new guages that will work with the stock wiring, or do you have to rewire all the new guages. its no big deal if i do just want to know. thanks.

Re: guage ?

I wired my gauge to the sending unit in my blazer tank. You'll need a 0-90ohm fuel gauge (available in every line of aftermarket gauges). Hook 12v to one side of the gauge, one side of the sender goes to the other side of the gauge, and the other side of the sender goes to ground. And it should work. A fuse in there somewhere is a good idea too.LOL
