What are some good gauges ( brand wise). I see a lot out there but not sure which is better.

 

There are a lot of people on here that like the ISSPRO gauges but I myself love my DiPricol Optix gauges. They are very accurate and they match up with the factory gauge cluster quite well, only difference being the needle color. They come with a very good intallation kit with everything that you need and they are very readable, even with a quick glance at 100+.... not that I would know but from what i hear hahaha. Clay at Riff Raff has great pricing on gauges and is great to deal with from what ive been told and he is even on here from time to time and seems like a good guy. I got mine from ITP Diesel and they to were very good to deal with and fairly priced.

 

I found these for pretty good priced compared to other gauges ive looked at. I haven't heard anything about them but looks to be a pretty good deal.

Glowshift guages..... AKA Glow***** gauges. I have heard nothing but bad reviews on them. They dont last very long, not that accurate, and the one that I always hear is that the mounting kits do not come with everything that you need to put them in.

 

thats just what I want avoid. Thanks

 

Let me know if I can help you choose a set-up that works for you.

 

Clay, can you get DiPricol gauges to? Becuase I will be looking for some in the next few months and would gladly get them from you for all the things you've done for us on here.

 

I used to carry them, but after long waits for product and there less than optimal warranty policies I dropped the line last year. If a manufacturer can't take care of me then I am unable to take care of you. With DiPricol being made in India everything was a PIA. I now only carry Autometer and Isspro, and prefer Isspro since the are 100% made and assembled in the US.

BTW- This isn't a dig on DiPricol, they are nice looking gauges and I haven't seen an issue with their operation.

 

I run the Auto-Meter Ultra Lites and I like them never had any problems. But I am going to be looking at getting a set of the Di/Pricol gauges because I want the HPOP gauge. I don't want a mis match of gauges want everything to look the same.

 

You might also consider the Isspro EV2 and Performax line as the also offer an HPOP.

 

My EV2's match up to the gauges well with the green back and orange needles.

The orange on the gauges is brighter than the orange on the dash gauges though.
I'll fix that when i change the lightbulbs in the cluster and throw in some bright orange led's to spice it up.

 

well now that I know Isspro makes a HPOP gauge I'll be getting them.

 

Are there any links to see these gauges?

 

That was the story a few years ago. I've talked with many guys that have them and love them, as well as several vendors that sell lots of them with little to no returns or problems. This was enogh to convince me to try them for myself and I am VERY impressed with them. I see nothing wrong with the mount Kit, either.

 

Really? So that kit I was looking at may not be bad? Cuz 199 bucks for the whole kit is one heck of a deal.

Oh also Jim what color did you get? I was thinking the tinted or black. Just curious what you thought was the best choice.
