Autometer, Isspro, and Dipricol are the most preferred brands. I think about the best deal going is the kit from Diesel Manor with Isspros- comes complete with all the wiring and connectors you need, plus great instructions and after-hours help if you should need it.

The glowshifts have had a lot of bad reviews on these forums, I would rather spend my $ on something I know is quality. I hope they work out good for you, but I went with the Diesel Manor kit myself.

Dipricol optix look factory and are very easy to see at night. I also have autometers in my 97 but the lighting around the dial looks cheap compared to the optix through the dial. I got the dipricols from itp for $350 and they include the paint.
