In a perfect world what would you have for your "extra" gauges / if you could go back in time and do it over again would you pick the same gauges? Why or why not?
What make /mfg of gauges are you using?
Other than Boost, Pyro & Trans Temp (for autos} what gauges do you have?
What boost PSI does a stock motor run? {30psi, 60psi, or 100psi gauge?}
Pyro gauge? {1500, 2200, 2400 deg?}
Trans temp gauge? {200, 260, 300 deg?}
Glow Shift / Auto Meter / Stewart Warner / VDO / others?
Thanks for any & all on topic input.

 

I have 4 different manufacture's gauges in 4 different trucks. I used Stewart Warner in the 85. Next came Glowshifts in the 97 followed by Ispro in the 96 crew, and last was Autometer in the 96 C&C. I'd rate them 1-Ispro, 2-Stewart Warner, (may be a tie for firs place on these) 3-Autometer, and lastly would be the Glowshift.. I'd use them all again except for the Glowshift. Remember, you get what you pay for.

 

I had two autometer pyro gauges fail. Replaced by Ispro's. The rest are mostly autometer gauges, boost-coolant-oil pressure-etc. I did buy one Glowshift gauge, a pyro that I mounted in the passenger side exhaust manifold just to compare with my Ispro in the drivers side exhaust manifold. The Glowshift reads about 100° below the Ispro. Then of course the Scangauge, its reads a lot, love it.

 

I have all autometers in my truck, trans temp, pyro, and boost. They were there when I got it. Never had any trouble with them. If I had a manual I think I would sub the trans temp gauge for a HPOP gauge, or if I get Electric fuel, a fuel pressure gauge.

I think my trans temp is 100-250, boost is 0-40 and pyro is 0-1600.

 

I have had many auto meter gauges past and present.they are all I need.
I am a believer and drank the koolaid

 

I've got isspro. Love em

 

Thanks all who replied so far.
Anyone else? What are you running (mfg, type, & range) ?

 

I use the Interceptor Scan Gauge to monitor most engine parameters and a AutoMeter digital Pyro to monitor EGT.

 

Good idea on the picture

 

Geez Nick, what's up with that windshield?? LOL! And that pillar color???


I've got glowshift and autometer gauges, along with a scangauge. 10 total. My glowshift and autometer egt gauges read about 25 degrees apart. I run autometer on one egt gauge, oil pressure gauge, and boost gauge. The rest are glowshift, except of course the scangauge. I've never had a problem with any of my glowshifts. They aren't as high of quality, but none have failed on me in 4 years. As many gauges as I have it would have cost a fortune for all autometers.

 

I think it had something to do with it being in an open front shed with no motor for 8 months. The color looks funny with the flash. It matches the interior in daylight

 

Poor Nick, you have that red interior...


As for ranges:
0-1500°F for EGT (don't run over 1200 for very long)
0-30 boost for a stock truck
0-250°F trans

 

not the first one. I had red in my old bricknose, the 92 is red, and the 97 is burgundy. I don't mind the burgundy. The lighter red is pretty bright though.

 

My 65 Falcon had red interior and I liked it.

 

Man, I have blue in my 96 and I don't care for it.
