Just ordered my ISSPRO kit from Dieselmanor earlier today. To me was a very good prce for the kit. $276 shipped to my door, I got the dash top mount because I didnt want to lose my grab handle. Would be about $12 more with the triple pillar mount. Salesman said that ISSPRO's match factory Ram gauges best, Good luck...

id get the 60psi...if you ever do put a box or chip on your truck you will easily exceed the 30psi mark. Most newer stock trucks can peg out at around 32 psi and then settle back in the 28-30 range. This also all depends on you altitude too....but to keep from doing it over again id get the 60...jason

Get the 60 psi...if yours is 2004.5 or newer you will likely see 30-32 max in stock form which would peg a 30 psi gauge and also not allow for future mods if you did decide to.
As for running the 1/8" line for the boost gauge...interesting! I have asked before about the boost gauge rattle and came up with no real answers other than to use a snubber. I insulated my 1/4" line with foam tape and it is significantly better but does still slightly rattle, just not as bad....might have to try the 1/8" line to see if that helps.

I have autometer phantom gauges, 60 psi boost and pyro, they match factory perfect. I haven't seen anything that is as close as these are. Be sure to get the 60 psi. With a Quad Race box I have seen 46 lbs of boost more than once.

At night (I only have experience with tranny Optix at this time) the tranny gauge has far too much light coming from under the pointer (not corona around the pointer) but a bright beam of light that escapes from under the pointer that moves with the pointer like a flashlight in the bezel and is the size of a pea. Thought it was defective and the replacement from factory is the same.
As I understand it through Danin, this issue is only on the tranny gauge. I don’t know about any other gauge, I have not seen any except Di Pricol Optix tranny. Some talk of full sweep tranny Optix gauge on horizon as well.
I have not installed it yet. I am sending it back to Danin and they are expecting it. Danin (and Dave at DM) has shown great customer service to this point and that is keeping me from throwing an Isspro in for now. I will update you all when I get updated from Danin.
