Default need help bad please!!!!! gauges.....

ok i bought some nu-image white gauges with red flames for the ac/heat controls and the main gauges for your speedo,tach,etc... well after taking everything all aprt that needed to be removed,i got to the gauge cluster.i removed the clear plastic that cover the cluster.next i removed all the needles on all the gauges.but..... i forgot to make a sketch of where all the gauges were pointing.the directions said to start the vehicle rev it up a couple of times the let it idle.then to make a sketch of your gauges on paper.but i just went ahead and pulled all the needles. i just filled my tank,so i know where the needle for that is pretty good.i know with the truck running at idle the speedometer would be at 0.it idles around 750-800 rpm's when warm.my thermostat is about half way just a little tad under when warm.my oil pressure is about at the half way point.and my battery needle is around the half way point.how do i go about getting all the needles where thay need to be????? any help please! thanks a million.

There's no set way to do it now, you're just going to have to try each one and pull 'em off/put 'em on to make adjustments from there until you're satisfied.

The only right way to do it is to call the local gm dealer. Ask them where they send clusters for re mileage. Then call them to see if the can recalibrate clusters also.

If you know someone with HP tuners or EFI live you can run a live scan and place the needles back on using that for reference.

What year is your truck?

If it is between a 99-02 GMC / Silverado and you really need this done and do not know anyone you could ship your cluster to me and ill correct it, You would need to include a return shipping label.
