I have been running the Glowshift 3 in 1 for over a year now, no issues, other than a bit of glare if I don't keep the dust off of it. Some others here have had less luck, but for the money, I have been happy with it.

You get what you pay for. A lot of people have had bad luck with them.

I have a GlowShift 3in1 (boost,egt and tranny temp) and it works terrific. I also have a GlowShift fuel pressure gauge and it works terrific too. A lot of people have had good luck with them.

Other than tools for install, (drill, bits, tap, wire pliers) the only thing I needed was to extend some of the wiring. Everything else was included.

I've had no problem with mine I've been running them for a year now and they work great. Your gonna want to get more boost tube the supplied length isn't long enough unless your gonna hook your boost gauge up by the fuel pedal....

I had two air pressure gauges made by GS, and did not have any problems with them.

My 3 gauges from glowshift are just fine. You can pay more for the other ones if you want.

Mine even change color with the push of a button!

I installed a four gauge pod on my a pillar two months ago. They work fantastic. No complaints. Took me 3-4 hours to install and got boost, exhaust temps, fuel pressure and transmission. And can switch through seven different colors. If they last, there a good deal. And yes, they came with what you need to make them work. Minus your tools, tap and die, some teflon tape, a three amp fuse and a power and ground wire to your battery.

Might as well give them a try... I have Isspro gauges with those silly "amp boxes" and i"ve had nothing but trouble with 2. I am about to just toss them and buy something else.

(coolant temp = goes haywire 90% of the time and is pretty much useless now)
(trans temp = does the same thing once in a while.... not very often but it is getting worse.)

I have checked and double checked all my connections to no avail... so it's gota be the boxes.

A simple call to Isspro would fix the issue.

Isspro now has the EV2 without the amp boxes.

Isspro is made in the USA, right in Portland Oregon.
