    This is a great community, it won't be anything close to the advise a dad would give you, but i am sure we will all try, Taco related anyways. Sorry for your loss, and thank you for serving in our great Military.

    There are some great guys on here that can help you. We all share our highs and lows.

    For the temp gauge, I myself don't have any idea. But if you bump this thread tomorrow, I'm sure there will be some guys on here that are very intuitive. They should be able to give you a hand with it.

    Sorry to hear about your troubles and congrats on the new truck.

    Success is the best revenge. My ex divorced me right after I graduated college in 2001. Now I make almost three times what I did back then. :)

    Congrats on the truck. Sounds just like mine. As for the overhead display fix. Go to the sticky 2nd gen mods. It has the fix in there. I did the fix yesterday myself and my display now works great.
