HAPPY BIRTHDAY Aaron!


Darin and Todd, the way I did my up pipes with the flange welded to the pipe, it doesn't matter if the tops are grooved or not. The flange and the gasket material become the new seal, so nothing has to seal around the pipes anymore. You should be able to use the pipes you have.

 

Yeah but I'm all about having a set I can screw up on...

 

.......I had an extra set when I did mine.......for that very reason! LOL!!

 

Sorry Clay, but I'm not a fan of being told something I bought is junk. Especially when I've ran 3 of their gauges for 3 years with no problems. I do plenty of business with you, and don't think that was necessary. I can't afford the best of everything all the time. I know where my pyro normally runs and that is really the only VERY IMPORTANT gauge. Like I said I may get another one, FROM YOU, different brand just to compare. I'm just not real happy with your comment. JMO

Oh, and happy birthday Aaron!

 

Yeah, not to mention what that statement says (or at least implies) about the guys who do choose to sell them (Rosewood Diesel, among others), much less run them.

I know Jim runs them in his own truck and has nothing bad to say about them.

 

I PMed Darin last night about it. Clay, even though I have a wish list with you that I'm going to pull the trigger on soon, I didn't like it either.

 

Late to the party!

And regarding Clay's comment. I think sometimes things are stated in a blunt and short manner just to illustrate a point without going into the details to fully explain it.

I am sure Clay didnt mean to insult or poke at anyone who runs them or sells them. He was simply trying to get across he likes the best quality products and only wants to sell what he thinks is the best.
I dont have much more to say about that topic except I have had my Glowshifts for little over a year and the EGT gauge is already being finicky(spelling?). I think they are a great setup for the price, but I certainly wouldnt call them 'top shelf' and would run Autometer if I could afford it (well I could... but I have other priorities).

And hope the build goes well! I love build threads too. There was one on TDS or PSN (cant remember) of a 74 CC. it was epic.

 

Guys, I didn't mean anything personal by it, but we get asked often why we don't sell a particular brand or product. We all like different parts and products, but as a company we have to choose what we think will have the least issues. Personally, I always try to choose a made in the USA product over something that is outsourced overseas, though this is getting pretty hard these days. I am sorry if I offended anyone.

 

Clay, I understand your position. Thanks for clearing it up. From a customer service point of view, it is a lot easier to carry a top notch quality product too as the customer gets a product that last a long time and they don't come back to you upset when they have issues. I guess my only thing is pretty much what Alex said. Everybody has a different budget and different priorities and some guys have to decide what to spend the few dollars they have on. It's a tossup on whether to buy the best and cry once, or to settle for something of slightly lesser quality and wince a little. I see both sides of the issue. Thanks for clarifying your statement.

 

erased. Forgotten.

 

Nevermind.. Good luck Darin on getting the mod list down a few notches.

 

Thanks Travis and Alex.

I'm sorry too guys if I came off wrong. I don't mean to offend anyone either, Clay included. I just got a little hot there and had to vent, maybe I shouldn't have, but I did. All is good.

I'm now thinking a 3 gauge bracket under the dash (I think Glenn has one of these in his first truck) and one on the steering column like Travis has for my remaining 4 guages.

Glenn, where did you get that bracket? I'd like to get a black one, not chrome.

 

His looks like one of those brackets that you can get at most any parts store with the Sunpro gauges. Not to say he has a cheap bracket, but that's what it looks like. LOL

 

Thanks Travis, you're probably right. I never even thought of that. I'll do some looking around, I'm sure there are some choices.

 

I got this 15-20 years ago when I bought a Falcon, its a old auto meter.



I can't seem to find another simalar. I'm thinking about maybe this if it can be fitted to a OBS, auto meter gauge 15018

Better picture:

AutoMeter Under Dash Triple Mount #15018 - Gauge Mounts - Gauges

My plan right now is triple pillar pod with scan gauge, EGT and boost. Under dash the triple pod with water coolant temp, oil pressure and fuel pressure. I'm being like a women on this, changing my mind every two minutes, LOL
