Advice for gauges...
I know this is wide open and subject to a lot of 'opinion'...
What is a good brand and series of gauges if I just want a quality gauge and don't care about bling, carbon fiber, neon, etc.
What I guess I'm asking is what's the best 'value' gauge available?
Thanks!

Alot of people have the ISSPRO's and seem happy with them, if you want the mount and everything, Clay has a great deal, Riffraff Diesel: RDP Triple Gauge Kit If you dont have any diagnostic software such as AE, I might suggest the scangauge, seems like a great option. I'm sure Clay can get them too if you wanted them, Ken (woodnthings) has a great write up with the features shown.

the only other kind of gauge i would recommend is autometer they have been making racing gauges longer than i can remember ive got some 25 years old and still working fine. those are the only two i could recommend. ive installed both cant beat clay as mentioned great guy with all you need . i say led is the way to go nowaday's. look at my thread (gauges all in finally.) from yesterday. hope this helps .

X3 on Isspro's through Clay! This is a great deal on a package. Riffraff Diesel: RDP Triple Gauge Kit
Can't argue with the Autometer's either. I am running Autometer Phantom II's and love them. I personally like the looks of autometer better, but to each his own. Both companies manufacture their products right here in the U.S. of A. as well.

Another vote for Isspro gauges. I have a custom built set of EV2's in my 97, I have ran EV's in the past as well with great success.

Ive got the ISSPRO EV2s. They are really pricy, and I dont know it they are quite worth the price, but they are really good.

I didn't think the price was too bad... under $400 for 3.

They arent super expensive, but when you start buying one here and another there.. it adds up. About $150 per gauge.
Compared to autometer which is like $40-50 per gauge.

Isspro EV-2 have the new warning light features, fully LED lit and are made right in Portland Oregon.
Michael (Lead design engineer) posts in all these forums regularly, Isspro sponsers many of them and they are out there racing every weekend...
Try and find someone from AutoMeter on a forum offering tech support...LOL

Thanks again everyone
DieselManor has a 3-gauge kit (ISSPRO) for around $375. I want the under dash mount. The only kit I see on RiffRaff was the pillar mount.
Probably go with the ISSPRO.
Thanks Again!

Hopefully not a hijack...
What about the digital gauges or scan gauges? Are they a better value? It looks easier to install and has several functions and features that regular gauges do not have.
Clay sells a few different types but I can't find any real life user feedback on them.
