    Anyone ever take any Freightliner gauges apart to fix the needle? The needle on my RPM gauge drags on the glass and it annoys me. New ones online are over $100 bucks when seems insanely high to me. Thanks!

    I know....I don't really use it but I get annoyed sitting here for 12 hours a day seeing something that is broken. I'm sure I have some kind of mental issue lol but I can't stand broken stuff.

    Seems over priced to me lol. For a 20 year old used gauge. I feel like 50 bucks is plenty lol. Maybe I am out of touch for our current economy.

    Truck parts aren't cheap.

    $100 for a tach seems reasonable.
