Reese Byerrum Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 hey thanks guys, but do I get an electric gauge or a mechanical gauge? what is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtecths Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 hey thanks guys, but do I get an electric gauge or a mechanical gauge? what is the difference? Electrical. For example... if you were running a mechanical oil pressure gauge from autometer.. you would have a oil line coming into your truck cabin. With electrical, the sending unit is still in the engine bay and all that comes into your truck is going to be a wire that hooks up to the gauge. Its more expensive but alot better in my opinion.

Avalanche_SS Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Use electric. You dont want to go up in flames inside the cabin if the mechanical fuel gauge goes bad while driving for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
