Ok guys - Been super busy solving problems, assembling (and reassembling) things and trying to get this truck ready for a Spring ride!

I solved my trans cooling line by replacing the fittings on both the trans and the cooler line - - problem solved.

I solved my temp gauge issue by following TBONE1964's suggestion at the bottom of the this response - Thanks Tom!

Fixing the spark plug wires just took a little time, but I got that accomplished too.

Temp Gauge Solution From Tom:

Try and run a ground wire from the lower center stud on the temp gauge to a known good ground. This is a very common problem when a temp gauge has been removed from the tin in the past. There is usually a small retainer on the lower center stud that provides a ground though the tin and gauge. When the retainer is removed, there is no ground. That is what the ground wire I am suggesting will fix.
