I can't seem to find anywhere to buy these gauges, any idea why?

 

From what I have heard(read) they are made in India(?) and the folks who were selling them couldnt get any so they were kicked to the curb.
Sucks cause I would like to have a set myself.

 

Your correct, many of us stopped carrying them when there were numerous supply issues from overseas and they stopped honoring their warranty.

We switched to Isspro over 3 years ago and have been happy since day one to get away from gauges made in India and over to good ol' American Made in Portland, Oregon.

 

This was the only place I could find
1999-03 7.3L Ford Powerstroke Gauges & Accessories

 

Thanks for the info, hadn't done that much research yet but I'd prefer the American product any day

 

It's funny how a few years ago when I wanted to purchase gauges, these were highly recommended due to the quality and the close match to the factory cluster. I ordered mine from Dennis with ITP at that time, I think now he is with Sinister Diesel? I have been happy with the ones I have, but then again I haven't had any others. It sounds like good luck hunting if you want this brand in particular.

 

I sold a ton of those gauges and had very few warranty issues with them while I could get them. Then there was a big labor issue with the factory in India and we couldn't get them. After that drug on for over 6 months we took them off the website. Now, with AutoMeter releasing their Ford Factory Match series gauges (which are absolutely beautiful and have the typical AutoMeter great quality), we don't even miss the Optix gauges. The only negative to the AM Factory Match is the fact that it's not a complete line of gauges. For those doing the typical Pyro, Boost, Trans and maybe HPOP...no problem. If you are wanting something more out of the ordinary, they don't have it (though we are hoping they expand the line). My personal truck actually has the GS line from AutoMeter, which is a complete line and also fantastic looking in a Ford.

Please don't mention the "Sinister" thing in the same sentence with my name...that's a sore subject and a long story and it still hurts to this day. All of our sales operations are under our Strictly Diesel division now, and have been for about 6 months. Thanks for understanding!

 

I had planned on ordering the GS line due to the green lighting to match up with the Ford interior myself, that's probably what i'll go with, just searching around at prices.
