Gauge Kit Comparison

I am getting ready to order my gauge kit from either ITP Diesel or Diesel Manor. I am simply stuck on which one to go with. I like the look of Diesel Manor's OEM look, but am concerned with the differences about the quality of the ISS vs. DiPricol Optix gauges. Any suggestions from current users of either? Pros/Cons? TIA!

- Andy

I have ISSPRO kit and love it. Matches oem gauges and works well. I am sure either would be good.

i went with the dipricol optix from ITP, the kit was complete less a few connectors but i had those on hand. IMO they look close to the in dash gauges and the glow is green making it even more like stock.

I know a few users have had both. Kris (strokin it) has I believe. They like the Diprocols more. I have the Isspro's and love them. I don't think you can go wrong with either

I got my Isspro kit from Thoroughbred Diesel 309 shipped but it doesn't have paint and they sent a 60 PSI boost gauge. I like the iss pros but the Di pricols have a much nicer OEM look but they are a bit more pricey. As for function they both work GREAT from what I have read.

Never heard anybody on here complain about either brand. I'm very happy with my ISSPRO's. Both of these brands will be high quality, and do what you need to do.....

If you are matching factory, the Dipricols look real good. I went with white face and red lighting on my gauges as well as the dash gauges. I just like the look better.
