you are supposed to mark the position of the needle before you pop them off so I guess it got moved or something.

What you do just slap them on?

Oops. Easy enough to fix though if you've paid attention to your truck. Fire the truck up and drive it until its reached its full warmed up range. While driving down the road use a GPS and set the cruise control. Stick the needle on the temperature gauge where it normally ran, the oil pressure gauge where it normally ran, the voltmeter right around 14 and the speed at whatever it shows on the GPS. Pull off to the side of the road and leave it in gear, point the needle towards about 600 rpm and stick it in place. Sure it isn't a hundred percent accurate but neither were the factory gauges. You'll be in the ballpark and that's probably closer than what the general had it leaving the lot with.

Good advice!

It gets the job done! If he has access to scanner (or torque) it could be more accurate.

Top the tank off and set it at full also :lmao:

I set all the needles back where they are supposed to be. Let the truck get to normal operating temps. Took a picture. Took it apart. And put the new needles on in the same positions. It works fine while truck is running. When I shut it off the gas and temp gauges go wonky.
