Exclamation oil, water temp and oil pressure Gauge Help....

Hey everyone.. I have 3 aftermarket gauges that came off my 03 dodge ram when i got into an accident with it.. the only thing that we took from it was the piller with the gauges and clipped the wires... now i have an 08 dodge ram and was wondering if there was anyway that i could install the gauges without the sensors.. maybe splice into the stock sensors? idk you guys are the pros.. is it possible.. my gauges are for Oil, water temps, and oil pressure... thanks..

No, they do not read the same way as the stock gauges do. You will need the correct sending units.

You should be able to buy the sensors, what brand of gauges are they?
