One in a million sets would be of good enough quality.... I ran Equius gushes from car quest for quite a while ... The worked ... Never had any issues , then I swapped on one day, ... Could not believe the engine was running onn8 psi of oil pressure in a SBC ... Changed that gauge to an autometer, sure enough it was real low ...

moral of the story ... How much you willing to bet that they are correct ???? New 6bt is somewhere in the line up of 7-10K on. budget build.... Know what I mean ...

Agreed. Just because they don't crash and burn in an obviously horrific fashion doesn't mean they're accurate. There seems to be two schools of thought on Glowshift: those who love them, and those who hate them. There doesn't appear to be any middle ground. That being the case, I avoided them. I've had my ISSPRO's for about... oh... hm. At least 140K, and they've been great. They're all electric, which means no diaphragms, and no fuel (oil, antifreeze, or anything else) run into the cabin. I've been a firm believer in mechanical gauges for my whole life, but the reputation of ISSPRO put my mind to rest with this purchase. They weren't cheap, but I did get a good deal from a vendor here in the Armory and for the life I've gotten from them so far they were well worth it. Hell, just the trans temp alone has saved my *** more than once. Nobody asked, but here's my setup:

I appear to be getting my money's worth out of the sweep on that boost gauge... think it's about time for a new one

Nobody asked, but here's my setup (please excuse the crappy cameraphone pics, especially the second one while I was pulling a trailer onto the highway):

I think I should be ok with a 50 or 60, not exactly sure what my options are.

Fairly certain a 100 would be way more than enough though!

My buddy's truck 99 F250 ran them and his Pyro always seemed cooler than I expected. We ran my Auto meter and it was indeed 200* colder on his than the AM. We took his digital temp gun and pegged the manifold at the probe and my unit was correct.

stay away from glow shift!!!! they look cool, have a bunch of options an are fairly priced. but they suck. i have 4. they all malfunction. mine are all electric. i have a 3in 1 combo. egt is the big sweep, psi an at temp is digital. it flashes randomly. it will peg the egt then go to 0 then back then flash an do all sorts of stupid ****. then i have a egt in another truck it does same type of stuff. the psi makes a whistle noise around 50psi. and the fuel gauge is ****. all over the place. an yes i have the snubber. electric sender.but its all bad an they did this like after a month. spend the money an go auto meter/ isspro. .......period.....or what. never mind i have a set of glow shift gauges for sale in a triple pod for a 98. i dont need them. i also have the snow kit so i have double gauges now. sell them to u cheap.
