Installing Gauges?

How difficult of a job is it to install gauges? I have pyro, boost, and fp and am putting em on the A pillar. I am trying to save some money with installation so i was thinkin about installing them with a buddy of mine but i am also not ashamed to take it to a shop. Any advice/instructions will be helpful.
Thanks

Check http://dodgeram.org/tech/mods/index.html, 2/3 down the page is information on diesel trucks and gauges or you could try the search function here and type in key word: gauge installation.

Its not difficult, just takes time. You will probably have to paint the A-Pillar but Geno's sells mopar paint for that: http://www.genosgarage.com/products.asp?dept=98

Best deals on high quality Gauge packages I could find are here:

The ISSPro kit #1 would be great for you with Fuel Pressure/Boost/Pyro. I had them swap the fuel press for a trans temp since I have a 12V and an automatic.

Just tell them what your truck is and they will set you up.

I put the isspro kit in for my truck and it works great. The only issue was the fuel isolator, that is now sitting on the shelf of the garage... yes I did drill the exhaust with the motor running. No problems...

As stated above, installing gauges is pretty simple, but it is time consuming. The most difficult part is running the wires and tubing from under the dash up to the A-pillar. Take your time, be patient and be sure to have all of the tools and parts neccessary before you start working.
