Heres some pics of their catalog


Yup I got glow shift egt gauge the Max Tow double vision











My egt is working perfect and very accurate, I just want to make sure I don't have a boost leak, because my avatar when ever i had a boost leak the needle bounced all crazy and ran horrible, but with the Mule you since its diesel i dont know if a bouncy needle is normal.
I keep going to try and give but a good detailed explanation of what it does.
When ever I do a WOT run my boost gauge is literally bouncing from 5 all the way to 30psi (like when you hit the rev limiter but from 5 to 30) but truck runs good with some smoke but not alot (street tune)

You need an ISSPRO or AM.

Isn't there an adjustment **** or screw on the back of the gauge to set how sensitive it is? Make it less sensitive, you'll see less bounce.... But if the bounce is an indication of a boost leak you would be just covering up the symptom

I got to check it out, as for boost leak i highly doubt it, because when I did my intercooler i pressure test the system with no leaks so must be the boost gauge

Oh I definitely have an EGT, but it's through my Edge Insight. It hasn't given me issues, but I would rather have a real gauge.

I've had Glowshift gauges for a couple years. It was all I could afford. Not so sure about my Pyro anymore. I am going to get Isspro EV2s when I can afford it.

Well got check my gauge early in the am and what would you know, the clear line that goes behind the gauge had a slit on it, guess when I installed it I must of cut it with my knife. Went for a test drive what would you know I hit 30psi and then more but my gauge only reads up to thirty ill have to try one of the gauges some of yall mentioned, but that would be for another day cause I really need a trans temp gauge.
