hi
has any one tried the GLOW SHIFT brand of gauges , and gauge pods ??

how well did the pod fit ?

the price is definately right but how well were you pleased with them ??

i got a autometer lunar series pyro and ins said not to run it on bright light setting for long periods or light could burn out , w t h is up with that ???

i keep my dash lights bright all the time !

thank you !

 

I had them in my 95, worked great, just make sure you get all the wiring tight and make sure you know what your doing as far as wiring. The instructions are worthless. Also, if you get the boost gauge, its for a tuner car, so its 30psi vacuum to 30psi boost, and it uses a huge boost line, I believe its 1/8" i.d. or around there. The trans temp gauge is a pain to install, I just used the stock 95 hotside trans temp gauge anyway. They only look so-so, kinda tuner-ish since the lights change and whatnot. I preferred the Autometer Phantoms in my '98.

The pod fit nicely, just as good as any. I hit mine up with Dupli-Color interior paint and it almost perfectly matched my interior, most guys thought it was factory installed.

In any color but red they are to bright to drive at night being at eye level. I left them on red all the time and was happy with them. If I had pics I'd post them, but that truck is gone and so are all my pics of it.

 

Yeah, I had seen those yesterday while lookin around for gauges and I decided to stick with the ISSPRO gauges. They're not too bad on price actually. Check them out on genosgarage.com

 

I Have Glow Shift Gauges But If You Are Going To Buy Them Buy Them Direct From Glow Shift So When You Have Problems They Will Handle Quickly I Had The Green Light Go Out On My Pyro And The Fuel Sending Unit On My Fuel Pressure Gauge Go Out And You Have To Know About Wiring Because The Instruction Are Really Bad But The Gauges Look Good And Work Good For The Most Part I Think The Problem With The Fuel Pressure Gauge Sender Isnt Really Made For Fuel. They Are Working On Fixing That Though I Bought The 2400* Pyro 60lbs Boost And 100lbs Fuel Pressur With Pillar Next Day Air It Only Cost 285.00 Shipped

 

i second getting anything direct it makes warranty easier taking out the third party.

 

I have the glow shifts and love em. 1stGEN545 helped me install em and he was impressed as well. He has autometer ultra lite II's and is havin problems with some of em. I think for the price its an awesome purchase.

NEED95-00CTD is right about the boost gauge. It is a pain cause of the boost line. And all the instructions are pretty crappy. But the gauges have worked pretty good and glowshift has some pretty good cust. service as well.

 

hi
well i think i might give them a try !

do any of the colors come close to the fact dodge dash light color , doesent have to be a perfect match just close ?
iam thinking of the reverse white series for myself , whiteface with black numbers!
dwitt0187
did you get them to fix the green light prob, what was involved ,could it be repaired at home ?
did they replace the sending unit ?

thank you !!

 

i called them on the green light being out for the pryo gauge they sent me a whole new gauage no questions asked just for me to send the bad back to them and they paid shipping to me and a return label came with the new replacement on the sending unit they sent me a new and didnt even ask for the bad one back but i have some bad news i was driving this morning and notive the sender is going out agian i think it is because the sender isnt really mad to handle the diesel fuel i think it messes the seals up internally in the sending unit so im goin gto call them and see if they have fixed the problem yet when i called them last time they said they were working on it becuase they had a couple other people with the same problem for your other question the green is close. ihave the ones that change 7 differant colors

 

The green is almost the closr enough to dodge green i have the triple pod from them. they work great and look great too.

 

I spent the weekend installing three Glowshifts on my '98 (Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, and Tranny Temp).

My install is somewhat unusual because I went the extra mile to protect the OP and FP senders. What typically kills the electric senders is a combination of physical vibration and pressure spikes from the pump. On both of these gauges I first installed Omega snubbers at the source to protect from pressure spikes. The FP source is a tapped banjo on the P7100 inlet. I then used 30" Goodyear grease gun hoses to protect the senders from physical vibrations. On the firewall I used custom brackets to mount the senders and a 1/8" NPT brass tee to bleed air from the lines.

This is still a work in progress. The tranny temp gauge isn't working yet, but I think I have a bad connection at the sender (mounted in the pan using a B&M drain plug). The OP & FP gauges are working great. I still want to tweak the gauges positions in the pods to straighten them out, and then will fasten the pillar permanently. The pillar fit is about average.

The wiring was the worst part of the install. Be aware that on the non-tinted 7-color gauges the lighting cannot be dimmed because it it powered by the same wire as the gauge electronics. I have them set on green right now and they aren't too obnoxious at night. Below are some pics.

By the way, I used a similar setup on my '03 when I installed the AutoMeter fuel pressure gauge (snubber & hose to custom bracket) and it has been working flawlessly for 20k miles.
