Other than the limiter what would make the temp gauge and fuel gauge read low... not sure on the oil gauge and I have a volt gauge instead of the amp gauge.. checked grounds and replaced the limiter... thanks

aftermarket fuel sending units are known to be inaccurate, and the temperature sending unit may not be getting a good ground due to excess sealing material [tape or dope] on it's pipe thread, or the ohm value may not be the same as the factory original one.
old wiring could also be an issue with too much resistance, bulkhead connections [in the case of the temperature sending unit], or the connections to the sender units themselves could be not making complete contact due to corrosion or misshapen ends.
just a few things to check. i hope this points you in some direction to find the problem[s].
please keep us informed as to what you find.
