Tuner Gauge setup

I was wondering if there was a tuner setup that i could run the wires from all the different gauges and plug them into one hand held digital display. I understand our trucks dont have obd i just want a digital display so i can hide it so the interior looks stock i hate holes in the dash.

Mine are in a "pod" velcroed to the top of a dash cover. the wires run through a split-loom to the right of the interment panel.

I modified a 2nd gen pod and used 90* brackets held on with double sided tape and velcro to hold it onto the dash. I just need to clean my wiring up better.

This is a good solution.

Glowshift vs Isspro? Isspro has been around a long time and has a good reputation. Glowshft sorta sounds cheap. I don't know if they are or not though.

I've only heard of people having problems with glowshift. Them not lasting long or not being accurate. Some people have had good luck with them but from what I have read I wouldn't buy them.

I have autometer and isspro gauges.

Same here. I also read that people are having problems with customer service. It appears that some people got serviced then ignored.

Seems to me that cheap gauges that you can't trust are worse than none at all! Isn't the point of gauges to tell you what's going on?
Unless you only use them as decorations get better gauges.
