    Nothing works as good as original equipment, but when it goes bad, it
sucks. I have tried after market voltage limiters, that made the gauges
read high. Drives you nuts when the gauges "work" better than they ever
did. The whole scale gets used at times, and you just never know for sure
if it's believable.  The limiter can be checked with a volt meter and a
jumper lead. They are electro-mechanical devices, that "average" 5 volts
to the gauges, when they work correctly. They can be adjusted slightly
with a small set screw on the bottom, but you need to test with a volt
meter, to see where you are going. 
   I have an old Mopar mag, with an article about updating to electronic
components, to control the output voltage to "exactly" 5 volts. You can
make the modifications to the back side of the instrument panel, or get
trick, and rework an old voltage limiter, to make it a "plug in" device. 
The parts run about $5. max. at Radio Shack. I just modified a voltage
limiter recently, and it cost me $2.50, and a little time at the work
bench. I can share info with anybody interested. 
  Intermittent loss of those two gauges, really sounds more like a ground
problem to me.  Tom in Dallas
