Default Ever heard of Glowshift?!

Hi, I'm am wanting to buy I se of gauges for my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 CTB. I have been looking into a set of gauges called Glowshifts. They are pretty cool and are at a good price for the set and an a pillar mount. They have pretty good ratings too. Do any of you guys have any idea if these gauges are anygood or do any of you have any of these gauges? Your feed back would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard a lot of negative comments about them. Mostly about their lack of accuracy. Auto Meter and Isspro are very good gauges.

Yeah the glow shifts seem to read off and from what I have heard have some electrical gremlins as well. Autometers and Issprs are really good gauges

how far off are they because they are really cheap. say i cant afford to do all my gauging right now. are they so far off that they will really throw ya off? like reading 800 egt when its 1400 kinda thing? or are they just a little off?

If they're not right why bother, I mean if they can't make them acurate what makes you think they would be consistently inacurate
