What are the best gauges out there money wise? I dont want to spend that much but if i have to i will. Also I would like to know what I need to look for on the gauges not to sound dumb but i dont know what numbers are bad or good. thanks.

 

Autometer. best gauges in my opinion.

Boost= 41psi is not good for the head gasket. i would say try not to run the stocker past 35psi, and its not really worth it to run it that high anyways because it stops losing its cooling abilities after 35

Pyrometer= there are many different opinions on this, mine is you could run 1100 all day 1400 and 1500 bad news over 30 seconds to 1 minute

 

o by the way i usually let the pyro get down to 300º before i shut if off. after you start making mods that can raise your exhaust gas temps you should let it idle for about 30 seconds to a minute before shutting it off... you should also let your truck warm up longer than a bone stock truck to because it was more power and can break stuff easier. your truck will be much much happier if you just let it cool down and warm up.

 

I've had Autometer.. They were OK.. I personally like my Isspro EVA's. Had them now for about 4 years, not a hitch.. Cheap gauges are just that, cheap.

 

they lasted just fine for me, 3 years with no probs i dont have unlimited funds

 

I have IssPros and have no issues. Been in about 5 years.

I want to try the DiPricols. I really like the faces.

I have a set of ISSPRO's from DieselManor and I'm very happy with them. Vulcan can also put you a set of them together from what I here.

 

what about Glow lshift guauges? my buddy just got them and likes them alot

 

I am getting gauges tommarow which ones do i need for a manual. Boost pyro and what eles do you think?

 

Glow shft look to be good, have great warranty and features but very expencive!!

i like my DiPricol allot match almost perfect with stock faces.
have a vivid color with LED lighting.

 

Boost, Pryo, Fuel Pressure

Ok thanks i will make sure to get those ones.

 

I got my isspro's from Diesel Manor. I think everything was $280 with the pod. I had a trans temp guage go bad and Diesel Manor got me another one shipped to my door no questions asked good customer service. Now my pyro is acting up needle bouncing around and I called isspro yesterday and the cust service guy said to clean the lead wires off with steel wool gonna do that thisafternoon gonna try that first and said go from there might have a bad box or the leads might be a little loose/ corroded. Hope I get it fixed but I cant say my isspro's have been troubble free. However it seems like they stand behind there products. I might give auto meter a try on my next truck if this box ends up being bad but I gotta clean off the leads first.

 

I am thinking about ordering a kit from DM or Vulcan, so I was wondering it they make the kits with cheep gauges or not.

 

Vulcan has three gauges with the pillar and all wiring/tubing, isspro ev series, for $259 right now.
