You told me so Thread !!
Ok, i asked and got your opinions on gauges a couple of years back. i cheeped out and got some gauges that glow and change colors because of $$..
After 2 trans gauges, and now my EGT gauge. It works more like a tac now.
I have checked all the connections and no change.
I also went with the 3 pod pillar setup. I am going to change to a under dash or maybe a 650 dash because of the lights flashing back at my eye level. these gauges can not be dimmed very much or they start to flicker.
The pillar makes it hard to see when making left turns at night, this also combined with my tinted window vents makes a very bad blind spot. I have almost run over a couple of people i did not see in the cross walk.
Im thinking maybe a scangauge or something different this time.
what Is good out there now ??
Talk me in to something good this time !!

Tug, you want to install the "manual" dash, into your auto? Stealth doesnt have a write-up or none that i can see, on how many gauges that holds. If 3, i'm gonna get one.
SAND...ya brother, me too. The only one digging my glow-in-the-dark gauges, is my daughter. Their now set on "Fall" colors...LOL
Eventually, i'm gonna rock the 2-pyro set-up with the AeroForce gauge.

I think 3 will fit, but you need the Autometer angled extenders (unsure of name of the part) to aim the gauges up.

Yeah, more than a couple of us on this one. Mine (GS) are still working okay, but three of them have started changing colors every time I start the motor. One does fine. Ground points are the same, and all else works fine. Weird.

Did you start with the Autometer under dash mount as the base? That sure provides a clean look! I like that setup more than any other thing I have seen.
