    Hello everyone I have a 2006 379 I am looking to add a couple of gauges. I am adding a fuel restriction and brake application gauge. I am using factory pete gauges. I havent been able to find what sensors i will need to install,location of them or if there are wire harnesses to hook the sensor back to the wire loom. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance

    Wiper control on the dash or on the turnstalk?
    Just determining if it has multiplexed gauges or not.

    Brake application pressure sensor will have to tee into the brake line located on the rh side of the steering column. There should be a couple brake switches on it already. Fuel restriction hooks in after the frame mounted fuel filter.
    There is no wiring harness available, you will have to order the plugs and pins for each sensor, then wire them into the cab CECU with the correct pins in the correct locations. Then you have to hook up to the CECU with ESA to enable the gauges.
    Unless you are comfortable re-pinning small connectors and have the correct crimping tools for the CECU pins it is probably best left to a shop. It will have to go to a shop/dealer to get the gauges enabled anyway.
