<DIV></DIV>Hello all:
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>From my earlier post and this one I guess you've
<DIV></DIV>figured out today is official "VDO Gauge Install Day"
<DIV></DIV>here in Hooterville...
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I ordered a 300 degree oil temp VDO gauge and sender
<DIV></DIV>from Bus Depot...my mechanic (installing it) just
<DIV></DIV>found out the sender won't fit in the oil drain plug.
<DIV></DIV>Called Bus Depot...guy at the counter says to
<DIV></DIV>tap&amp;drill a new hole. Has anyone out there run into
<DIV></DIV>(got a solution to) this problem??? Fast responses
<DIV></DIV>are appreciated as I'm trying to resolve this today.
