Thats where I got mine, both the boost and the EGT gauge together cost me 50$ and I've had them in for 4yrs and this is my 3rd veh that I've used the same gauges in. the semi's I looked at all had Mechanical EGT gauges (only needed power for the lights) and if you ask me they are light years ahead of autometer, as they need a power source to work.

Used semi gauges are better than no gauges!

Any mechanical gauge will work, gas or diesel(pressure is pressure). Electric gauge will also work fine if you have the correct sending unit.
