the old owner of my truck ripped out all the wiring. I was able to rewire all the other gauges, but how do I wire in the volt gauge?

One terminal to ground, one terminal to switched power. If it reads backwards, switch the terminals. You can pick up the switched power from the same line that powers the other gauges.

On a stock truck, the wire that powers that gauge is one of the 4 wires that comes out of the connector that screws to the back of the dash panel called the spider harness. There is 1 wire coming from the on/off switch, male end, on the dash, through a factory splice with the alternator excite wire, then there is a wire connector, female end, that comes off another point of that wire and the spider harness connects to that. The spider harness has a male end to connect to the female just mentioned, and then splits 4 ways to give power to the 4 small gauges. In the case of the other 3 small gauges, a sending unit wire is used for the signal, the volt gauge needs nothing else so it just has the one power wire from the spider harness.
The spider harness ends and the wire rom the on/off switch are all #27. The 3rd box of the image shows the setup I am describing...the red lightning bolt thing shows where the wires pass through the firewall.
In case you, or anyone else really needs to duplice the stock setup...now ya got it!!
By the way Koob, where you at? Still on the other side of the big pond??
