Mike, Congrats on the gauges. I just ordered mine last week. I got autometer ultralites and a pillar pod. Looks like we're both getting a little closer to calling Jody .

It's all good until you sit in a truck with Dipricols. Ask Jeremy what he thought of mine after it got dark. They are the chit, period. They just look great.

That would be a gauge that does not begin at 140* for the most part, then graduate into an overheat situation quickly. The full sweep tranny gauges also have a bigger needle sweep that may make more folks comfortable. I know that I am bored with my tranny gauge, but boring is good. It never gets hot.

I've looked at dipricols and love them, but I also like the look of the ultralites. Especially the price, $239.99 from a local parts store.

I wonder if they got the full sweep for Isspros, i didn't see it up there? Does the full sweep only come with Diprocols?

Here are some more instructions from ITP. I have installed two sets of guages now and used these instructions.
http://www.itpdiesel.com/other/7.3L%...structions.pdf

Congrats on your Isspros, I have DiPricols, and must say I love em like Mike does. I just wish they would make more guage types to choose from. To get all the guages I want I may have to mix some of those Isspros with mine.

Their prices look to be the same as ours. The only differences I could find are their mech FP gauge kits. we use our isolator, which is not the same. Our's cost a little more, but that's becasue of the extra work we do to them. Also, we have the complete kits all done already. Make's it a lot easier to buy. we'll include everything, including the Optix Wiring Harness which makes installing a snap as well as the ability to calibrate the illumination.
