Default gauges?

Ok so i finally got the money to get some gauges and everyone says its a must have with the 6.0. I was gonna go with the autometer but i found a company called glow shift that makes them and they're alot cheaper. Im just worried bout them not being as good because theyre so much cheaper. Im doing boost, pyro, fuel and tranny. Im going to do a under dash pod later with oil and coolant. Anyone have any experience with this company?

Thanks

From what I have seen the glow shift guagez seam to work well but I don't know how long they last try them if they ever fail get a bert er set and keep your pod.

yeah you guys both got a good point. Ranger i think i might just do that cuz ur right I can always replace them with auto meter later on.

found a thread in the cummins section and everyone says they've got nothing but problems with the fuel pressure gauges from glowshift. so im just gonna go with the autometer and play it safe. rather just do em once

Glowshift is crap. They wont even dim like the factory stuff. You can do a mod to get them to do a "Half **** dim". You turn you lights on and they go to half brightness, but they wont do anything else. I have Dipricol Optix and ISSPRO EV2's in my truck, like both of them. Dipricols are no longer around though. The EV2's are nice. Tons of guys use the autometers too, good gauges there as well. gauges, you get what you pay for.

Glowshits are just that..... Autometers and Isspros are all good. Isspros look the best IMO
