I have run glowshift on 2 different trucks, they were accurate and reliable with everything I ever had, comparing them to autometers, I did not see any issues. I know there are quite a few threads about troubles with them however I have not had any issues.

There were issues when they first came out approx 3 or so years ago but they resolved the problems and seem to be pretty trouble free now.

I am running a Tranny temp Gauge. It is post mounted and constantly lit.( My Choice) but it is dark faced and I can hardly see it with the sun on it. If I get another one it will be white faced. It functions very well. Just my .02 Jim

Why Jim, all the gauges I have installed were the tinted series gauges? No issues seeing them in daylight? Maybe the 2.5% tint helps.

i have had the 3 in 1 since i got the truck in white face. no problem seeing it, and no problems. had the fuel pressure since about april and in white face, also no problems. they seem to be a great "cheap" alternative to the higher end expensive gauges. i actually really like mine. have no problem seeing at nite or in the day. wish they offered a hpop gauge to match my others though
