Gauges, Opinions on these.....

Does anyone have any experience with these gauges? I am thinking about a set of them becuase they are like $100 less than the other guys out there.

I had problems with Autometers on my old truck

I'm trying the Isspros. Very happy with them so far except the tranny temp gauge is a tad brighter then others.

If I have problems with Isspro, I'm going with Dipricols.

Isspros work great and match the stock gauges in the truck very nicely. I do not like my Autometer Fuel PSI gauge completely different color then the stock and Issopro's, and I get a bit of a humming noise out of it from time to time. My major beef with it is the different lighting color...yeah I'm ****

I love my autometers but your right the FP is much different color. MOre green I would say. My Boost is very Dim/yellow color. But the colors just don't bother me I guess. LOL

I have both Diprocol and Autometer Ultralite II. both work awsome. i have had autometer for years on all my cars and trucks, never had a problem that was not my fault :-) I have been very impressed with the Optix series form Diprocol. great lighting, and very good quality.

I'm going with Autometers. I have had them in all my racecars and street cars with nothing but good luck. I think everyone has a favorite, but I haven't heard great things about the Glow ones. This is just my .02s

I got real real tired of sending Autometer stuff back for repairs/RMA numbers.

I switched to Isspro in 1997 and had great luck with them. Then in 2002 I lost my mind and put Autometer's in my Duramax. Same RMA BS especially with Pyrometers.

I went back to Isspro, and only had an issue with a trans temp gauge, and Isspro took great care of me. No cost replacement, and no charge shipping, and no hard time about '''was it installed correctly?'''

The only Gauges that will grace my truck is Isspro, and I have heard some good things about DiPricol as well.

Isspro's new Performax series of gauges really got my heart beating faster though. I had to have them, and have no regrets about it. Besides being a stepper motor drive (fast precise and fluid) you can hook 17 gauges to ONE controller without having to do any more power ground of separate gauge connections. Just plug in the sensor to the signal box, then install the gauge and connect it to the 3 bus wires.
And you are done!

A little more $$$ than some, but then again, excellence never did come cheap.
