Looking for an all-electric triple gauge
Not sure I have the right forum thread, so feel free to correct me if there's a better place to go.
I have a 97 Ford F250HD with a 351W/5.8L, and I'd like to add a triple gauge set. I've had them before on my older vehicles and they worked great, mostly. After a mechanical ga. oil pressure line failure, I'd like to try an all-electrical set this time. Does anyone know of a decent quality set that'd be accurate and not break the bank? The only set I could find was the Auto Meter 2391 Autogage Electrical Mini Oil/Volt/Water Gauge with Black Console 1.500 in. for $101.00
I like that these are mini's, but as long as the gauges are under 2" it's fine. Has anyone here had any experience with the Auto Meter 2391 or could point me in the right direction of another option that a similar price range or less? Any input would be great. Thanks all!

Google told me about Equus. I see a lot of Bosch over at Amazon. Either one should be fine. I see a lot of other stuff out there as well. I'd suggest staying away from the no-name brands.

i would sadly say i have had issues with autometer, as thier temp gauges all have given me problems, all break down to the senders and adapters, the sender using a autometer adapter fails to go far enough into the water to read correctly, i have had to get adapter kits from VDO to make the sender send the right signal ,they are shallow and don't shield the tip away from the water, where the autometer has been found to keep the tip out of the water, AM blames the user for having bad grounds which is false
example https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vdo-323905
hence we now only use vdo gauge kits
