Good work. You’ll have to cut that little old lady in charge of QC at the china factory some slack. She has worked there since she was 8yrs old and they keep promising she’ll get a day off...

Average lifespan of these gauges is often pretty short. You will likely get a chance to work on it again!

Mine are 3 years old and still kicking. I think they may have gotten a little better than the ones of old. I know they are least updated two of the sending units.

I’d say that’s longer than they used to last.

My Dipricol Optix gauges are still kicking after 15yrs and 300k miles. I hope they never die!!

Thats a pretty big discrepancy between the JLG gauge and the glowshift. Is that reading with the supplied sender?
Making me think twice about buying a set being out that far

it is a big difference, my Jlg gauge is very reliable ...I don’t know why the supplied glowshift sender is 20 psi off but that’s a big difference. I will call glowshift on Monday and tell them what I have found and see if they have any advice or remedy.

as stated earlier I know glowshift isn’t top of the line equipment but for what I paid I couldn’t beat it.

I should admit I recently bought this cheap Android head unit for under $200 with high hopes and limited expectations....

This is a ‘cheap’ Android head unit (Atoto A6 Pro) that’s popular in the 6.0 crowd lately running the Torque Pro app using a BAFX Bluetooth OBD2 dongle. This one was ‘used’ (open box, never installed) and was significantly cheaper than ‘new’. The bt dongle was also ‘used’ from fleabay and was $10 shipped.

There are several ‘screens’ like the one above you can customize with different sizes, styles and whatever you want to monitor. You can have a screen that is all automatic transmission data, just a big tach and speedo, etc.

Im also running google maps with downloaded maps for the areas I’m traveling in. So the Internet is not needed for travel. You could run a hotspot in the truck and do all kinds of stuff.

Ive only had it a week and have maybe explored 10% of what it can do...
