Gauges-ready to order!

Well I think I'm gonna order the Glowshift (for $ reasons). If I do go with the 4 pod, I'm thinking I could add the Aeroforce in there (at a later date) It should fit right?
I do like the scangaugeII as well though. Both the Scangauge and Aeroforce hook up to the OBDI port correct? So I couldn't run both I do like that the Scangauge does read codes though? I don't have an AE so between the 2 gauges which would you go with?
Also with the Glowshift gauges- do I need to order the wiring harness?

Can you tell I'm confused!

I have the quad pod and wish I got the tripple instead. The sun visor doesn't work well, the top gage is in the way. If you dont use your sun visor often or are not picky about that it's not a problem.

Yes, get the harness and a little extra wire for dimming. Hook the dimming wires (I believe orange) to your headlights wire so they dim at night, big help.

Hit me up with any questions, just did mine a couple of months ago and love them. BTW, put the boost gauge low, in slot 1 or 2, not at the top like I did, barley enough tubing. The EGT wire is very long. I would go 3 pod if it were me. EGT, Tranny, boost. 4 is too much for an A pillar, IMO. Here's a shot of mine. Also, customer service was great and answered my call every time with the right answers.

Spend a little more money and get a quality gauge made 100% in the USA...

Isspro EV-2...

I have no issue with my sun visor, but I rarely use it too.

And put them in our trucks that are made in MEXICO.
I buy American as much as I can, but not always. Glowshifts seem to be bang for buck gauges, at least for me. These things seem to be working great.

Thanks! I do like the looks of the Glowshift gauges Gonna order towards the end of the week. Did they supply all the necessary senders and tubing? I'm sure I'll have questions about the install, I'll hit you up when I get them

Mine was made in the USA... Might be a few mexico parts in there, but made in USA...

The price differance between Glowshift and Isspro is not much if you go with a vendor willing to sell below MSRP...

Yeah but the problem is finding a vendor willing to do that! I'm not a fan of the chrome rings on the Isspro. I do think their gauges are nice though!

You dont have to get the chrome rings... Those only come on the Blue one's and on one style of dodge gauges...

Here are the ones I just changed mine to...

My newest gage, my fuel pressure I decided to try the Isspro ev2. Black bezel black face red pointer. They match the dash perfect and the lights and readability at night are amazing. Got mine from Riffraff. Verry easy to wire. Well worth the extra $, especially if you want your Gage's to match your dash.
