Duramax Gauge Install

K50 — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:08:49 GMT

Hey guys,
I just purchased gauges from Luke here and I'm looking for some tips/advice or instructions on how to install them with respect to the Duramax engine. The instructions were all for Dodge trucks, and I haven't installed anything like this before so I'm not quite sure how to go about it. Boost/Pyro for now, trans temp later.

Thanks for any help!!
