    The newer gauge package, the RPM and Temp gauges need calibration?

    Over the weekend i finished off installing the newer GTM gauge package (from Factory 5). These gauges have little clip plugs for power already prewiring in so running power to each gauge is simple.

    Anyway, I got everything working and then i noticed my fans kicked in when the water temp gauge read 145. Thinking this was odd i plugged in HPtuners and saw my temp gauge was 25-30 degrees off. I then looked at my RPM gauge it said the car was idling at 4-500 HPtuners says it was idling 8-900.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    Not a that stage with my GTM, but I've seen it more than once on other cars.

    I haven't checked all my gauges but IIRC I think a saw there is some calibration needed in some of the gauges. That is done with a push button that came in the gauge kit.

    Also check the RPM gauge is setup properly. There are normally dials (trim pots), or
    toggle switches to set for different pulse types, and number of cylinders, etc.
