Glow Shift gauges

Does anyone have Glow Shift gauges on their truck ?
How do you guys like them? any good/ bad reviews on them?
They seem fairly cheap.
Im thinking about buying a set soon prolly the 3 pillar set. Egt, boost, I dont know what the 3rd gauge would be any suggestions ?
and How was the install on them?

Just trying to get an idea of what you guys think before i buy them.


Thanks in advance.

Yup, I have the tinted series. Ive had them for about two years now. No issues. Im a 5speed so I have Boost, Egt, and water temp. For you i'd say EGT, BOOST, TRANS. Must have a tranny temp guage being an auto.

not the best picture, but from top to bottom is EGT, Boost, and Water temp. Oh and they have 7 different colors! The green pretty much matches our cluster color.

Ya, I run them also. EGT, boost, trans temp. Only problem I had is I blew the boost line off on a hard pull while pulling out to pass a grandma in a buick (imagine that). Kicked it out of OD with the trailer on and hit high boost instantly and popped the line off. Fixed that, and no other issues.

GlowShift are really nice gauges for the money.
I wouldn't run them in a Baja 1000 rig, but for everyday driving they are nice.
I will soon be puting them in my newest rig, 4 pod with a scan gauge.

I have sold quite a few of the GlowShift sets and only had 1 issue that was quickly resolved with their excellent tech guys.

Thanks for all the info. I didnt know that many guys on here ran them.
But for the install. I can in stall the EGT one. but for the boost. would i have to take that black Y pipe that connects to the turbo off and drill a hole in to it for the boost? then I dont know how to the trans temp either.
Their directions on the website dont go into much detail.

I couldnt find a link on your site for them. Do you still sell them?

You just need to tee into the map line for the boost.

They are able to switch between 4 or 5 colors, just by pushing a button. I think I have a pic of them in a different color, I'll look. I think I have a pic for the trans temp location too.

You only need the 30 psi boost and 1500* egt. I plan on getting the 4 pod with boost egt trans and fuel pressure. But that's for my 6.0 FWIW
