Same here this is my second set and have never had any problems. Just stay away from the fuel pressure gauge. If you don't want to save money got with one of the other brands, otherwise get glowshift.

There is a reason that they are so cheap, they aren't accurate. I had a friend that had autometers and switched to glowshifts and the numbers were all different. I have never used Isspro gauges, but I have had 3 sets of autometers in my gas vehicles and haven't had a single issue.

Just my .02

ricet07 what problems are you having
My boost gauge sticks at 10 psi on the way up and down. Water temp never has worked right, never gets over 140. I also agree with luke about the ricer look, I bought the truck with them otherwise would not have them in there. It is the same with anything though some people have good luck, some dont. I just havent had good luck so figured I would throw in my two cents.

In reality bad gauges can come from any company my brother had to return his autometer's because they were jumping all over the place. Usually they will start to mess up within the first few months if no right away, just make sure they have a warranty and your good.

I use alot of marine vdo gauges and sending units along with stewart warner. Both seem to be excellent gauges and i very rarely have any come back faulty. Most are installed on outdoor power generation units in the elements.
