Well...I got the air fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge for my 04 srt. I didn't want to mess anything up and wanted to ensure I had everything done the correct way so I took it to my dodge dealer. Well...that was yesterday morning. Apparently they were having a lot of problems doing it yesterday...and the oil sending unit was leaking oil.

Now today they tell me I won't have my car until tomorrow because they had to order a special 02 sensor in order to get the air fuel gauge to work. And this sensor will run me about 115 dollars...not to mention the crap load I will be paying for labor!!!!!!

So question-- how difficult is it to install these gauges and do I indeed need a different o2 sensor or r they rippin me???

They're not ripping you. You do need the extra O2 sensor and it does cost the price they quoted you.

Alright...and how about the level of difficulty of this installation?

If you know your way around wiring then it shouldn't be a problem. You have to splice into the ignition wire for power, find a ground, and hook up the signal wire to the O2 sensor. Now there is an easier-cheaper way to do this. You can get a single-wire O2 sensor ($20) instead of the Mopar O2 sensor. There are a few threads about going this route. Just do a search it should be easy to find.

EDIT: I imagine the dealer will charge 2-3 hours labor.

Thanks--- I definitely hope to get charged for only 2 to 3 hours and not 2 days!! They said most time is "experimental" time and the tech was on the phone with chrysler techs trying to figure it out!
