I haven't had any experience with those but Generally the cheaper gages will cost you in the long run....don't seem to hold up. They usually give out inaccurate readings after a while too. My 2 cents.

remember the old adage, you get what you pay for!
Auto meters are supposed to be great for the extra $20

i thought about them. then these guys talked me out of them due to several problems and non working gauges. im going for either issapro or autometer. maybe even heads up display. that would be cool.

Next to my home and property my vehicles are my biggest purchases. I install gauges to assist in protecting those investments. Believe me when I say,
"I understand what it means not to have a lot of money"
But to skimp on a few dollars for the very gauges that you rely upon to safeguard your investment doesn't compute. I doubt that you would run substandard, cheapo oil in your rig just to save a few bucks.
This is just my humble opinion and please don't take it as criticizing anything you have said.

I'd go with a set of autometers. They are more expensive but they really do stand by their products. My water temp gauge took a dump on me a couple months ago. The warranty had been expired at least a year and they still gave me a new one. No questions asked. Saved me another $130 or so.

I have read a lot of bad stuff about the Glow Shifts... I almost bought them but went with Isspro instead. I found a complete kit (boost, pyro, trans temp, pillar pod, wiring, paint, etc. etc.) brand new that someone had never installed for $300. I've also seen good deals lately on Amazon for Autometers, but they don't come with the pre-wired harness for power like my Diesel Manor kit has. Like many others have said, I would save your $ and get quality gauges.
