Gauges What do you have and why do you like them?

Getting ready to start on the first additions to my truck after owning it for 5 years. I have the 6637 and one of Pete's covers that is going on as soon as it's a little warmer. Now for trans cooler and gauges. So, what do you have and why do you like them? Style, price, quality?
Thanks, Tom

I got my first set form clay at riffraff diesel. I ordered his set off of his website. I got the isspro 3 gauge set with everything I needed. I like the ev2 isspros for the simple reason that they are a plug and play system. no amp boxes and it is just current updated technology. And they match the factory set the best.

I have Autometer Ultralites. Good gauges, good manufacturer. I have five total, Pyro, tranny temp, Boost, voltmeter, and water temp. Would like to get a fuel pressure gauge one of these days.

I have the Isspro EV2's I got from Clay. Seem to be of great quality and priced right. I like the electronic boost sensor mounted in the Riffraff AIH delete plug. Pretty responsive, and liked the idea of not running more air line. My boost and pyro are mounted in the Autometer dash pod.

I have Di Pricols, black face. I love them because they match the dash lighting when they are on. Have had them almost 3 years with no problems.

I've got Autometer Z-series gauges. Pyrometer, Boost, Transmission Temperature. Wishing I had a fuel pressure gauge to add to it. Had them in the truck for 6 years and have never had a problem.

Autometer. See my sig for the model numbers.

I like them because they were inexpensive, work great, and the green is very close to the stock dash color.

I have BD Power's Xmonitor. clean, simple and all in one. I don't like the guage pods in my face. lights in my eyes at night drive me crazy.

I have six ISSPRO Performax's, boost,pyro,trans water + oil temp,and fuel pressure, and I love them. I went with the white face. IMHO they are much easier to read in daylight and they light up black face and match the factory gauges great at night. I got everything from Clay.

I have Autometer Phantom's in a pillar pod. I like them alot. They were easy to install and work great so far.

If I had a diesel truck I would've got Phantom II's but they didn't offer a vacuum gauge (only boost/vac) in that series.

I have oil pressure, trans temp, vacuum, and fuel pressure. I also have a single pole three throw switch wired into my trans temp allowing me to have oil temp, trans temp, and rear diff temp.

More info here -- 2004 F250 Quad Gauge Install

Do you have an inverter tied to your Link 20?

I like Isspro... but I dont have many...

I have tested for about 5 years now, if you need any info on Performax or EV2, ask.

Another vote for Isspro Performax. They are built in the USA. They match the factory gauges, it's very easy to add more gauges with this set up. Call Clay at Riffraff, he'll get ya hooked up.

I think the new Boeing 767 has less gauges. LOL. Looks cool.
