Guide & Tips To Wiring Gauges | American Truck Simulator

ATS v1.50

Time Stamps Below ⬇️

I’m still feeling a little sick, but I wanted to get this video out, since many have been asking for it.

This is run-down on everything I’ve learned and experience regarding wiring gauges. It may not be the best way, and I may still be making some mistakes, but this is the way I’ve put everything together. I hope the tips (and my mistakes) help you, so that you don’t have to re-invent the wheel.

I’m open to constructive criticism and any feedback that might help me better understand. But I also hope this helps people who are just getting started.


I’m not sponsored by any of the companies in this video, nor am I an affiliate with any stores that I link to below. Everything was purchased with my own money, and all views are my own opinion based on working with the hardware and software. I haven’t received any kick backs in any form.



Hope you enjoy the guide, and let me know if you have any questions or comments!

This channel will be doing several things, including looks at various trucks, trailers, engines, and other mods in ATS. It will also feature some flights in either X-Plane 12 and MSFS - maybe even combos in the same video. It will be heavy on the RP, showing viewers how to get creative with the game.
