I have the same wheel as you in the shed, I like the mixed machine and black look. I’ll not be excited about a forced 20 on a new truck.m when it happens Wider wheel might help ya not look so top heavy also Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Definitely get that gauge sorted boss. Hopefully it's not working correctly. But if it is.....need to know for sure one way or another.

I had stepper motor problems in my 2001 1/2 ton. Gauges were forever acting up. I think in those years that was common. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI ordered some mechanical gages from Summit just now, and sent an email to a guy in Michigan who rebuilds these GM gage clusters. We'll see what he says. Seems like a simple couple day turn around operation.

Wheels are fine, maybe a color update? The entire look is good, better without everything up top all the time and the truck mirrors add something too.As for the temp, make sure the gauge reads the engine not the rad temp. Did you get the "steam" crossovers on the that motor? That could play tricks on ya.
Dauber might be an option, but not helpful. No steam crossovers, and it runs hot, Hmmm.
Gonna get the beamer logo too?Long as the motor never got hot is the main thing!
What about a 1" Zero Rate Add A Leaf, they have them in 2-1/2" or 3" wide.They let you move the axle back 1" or 1-1/2"https://www.offroaddesign.com/1-zero-rate-add-a-leaf-kit-2-1-2-wide.htmlhttps://www.offroaddesign.com/1-zero-rate-add-a-leaf-kit-3-wide.html
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Mulch bed you mean??3k stall sounds right, 15% throttle, thats close to idle!
Why are the gauges clocked 90* clockwise? Is that so you can read them when rolled on your side? ;P
Don, mounting it in the radiator hose is no bueno. Needs to be in the block. Should be a spot in the right rear head, just like the one in the left front.
You want accurate, actual engine temp, at least for the gauge. The coolant in that hose could be 30* colder than engine temp, when it's not flowing.Like JR said, if the tstat sticks, your engine could be running 260 and you'd never know it. That's why the factory sender is in the head (all temp senders are pre-thermostat). Fan probe can be radiator side tho. ... like where you have it in the hose.
Are you going the change the headliner? What is the second color your going to do? Looks good. You up for a scratch test? Fingernail drag across a panel and see what comes up?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
