QUESTION: SWAPPING OUT FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GUAGE ON RT

[Can-Am Poogs]

The fuel gauge sucks and the temperature gauge is valuable information but not a very good looking or quality gauge.

If you swap the temperature gauge for a better temperature gauge and replace the fuel with a volt gauge, will the fuel level still display on the digital display? Or, do both gauges have to be inactive for the information to display on the digital display?

I found an old post which says you have to disconnect both in order to get them to show up in the digital cluster. Can't just disconnect one. Sorry about a repeat question.

On that note, how difficult was the oil pressure gauge to tap into and install. Any worries doing this? I realize it needs its own sending unit as opposed to the the one for the dummy light.

Please let me know.

once you dissconect the gauges they will appear in your cluster display and it won't make a difference as to what you replace them with they will always be on display in your cluster.

There are a number of great threads on installing an oil pressure gauge on your RT. Here is the latest, and it contains some great information relating to do's and don'ts.

Do I have this right? Once you disconnect the gauges causing the digital ones to become active, then you can never go back to the mechanical gauges and will always have the digital ones in the cluster no matter what?

You can reconnect them and go back to them anytime.

Replacement gauges

I replaced mine with a digital volt meter and a whistler radar detector, one of the best things I added.:doorag:

if you go back to the orig analog gauges it will disapear from cluster but if you install a different temp gauge and whatever in the other slot the gas/temp will still be on the cluster.
