Someone to install guages in New Mexico

Hello folks. Question: For my 2006 350 Laramie, SRW, AT truck, is there a suggestion as to who I could select to install guages such as EGT and tranny temp?

I live in the Ruidoso, NM area. Do you know a shop in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Roswell, or whatever?

I am not mechanically inclined and need to have someone do this who is experienced with Dodge diesel trucks.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Try Desert Ratt in Albuquerque. Just be warned. The lovvvvvve Power Strokes and make fun of Cummins, but they've been really good to me. FYI, the install is not too difficult if you decide to give it a try. I installed my pryo, and no problems. When my boost comes in, I'll install that too.

Good luck

I have never been there myself but I have heard nothing but great things about Ultimate Linings Plus in Alamogordo. They are right before the main gate to Holloman. There is also a place called Off Road Performance(I think thats right) right by the over pass in town. Just stay away from JacK Key.

Hey zehnmm.

I installed my gauges, actually very easy to do. I live down in Capitan. I'd be more than happy to give you a hand in getting them in. It takes about an hour to install each one. Do you have your gauges? Or do you also need some help getting them? You can take a trip down the hill and check out mine if you'd like? Let me know via a pm.

Everybody: Thanks for your information and offers to help!

I do not have guages yet. Additionally, I am not going to try and do it myself. You cannot even imagine imcompetency until you see me in action.

Yup. They seem to be more into lifted trucks and the "baja" type. But their work on diesel trucks really looks clean.

zehnmm, gauges are not too difficult to install. So most competent shops should have no problems doing it. I would be willing to bet that anyone on this site who has installed at least one set would be able to complete it again.

I would offer my help, but I get too nervous working on other peoples stuff hahaha.

But if I can be of some assistance, let me know.
