What do I need to get my gauges to read correctly.
Right now my Alt gauge does not move at all, it has a alt from a '96 F250. Motor is from F250 also Oil gauge is pegged all the way over to the right and the temp gauge never moves.

Did not drive the truck enough to be able to tell.
Brakes did not work prior to engine swap.

I assume they did. I believe I need to swap out the sensors.

I think I have heard the ohms are different want to know before I drive the 20 miles to pick up the closest replacements.

IIRC, the newer oes ohm in the opposite direction. and i have yet to see a volt guage do more than flick with the turns/emergency flashers on.
