Gauges: Mechanical VS. Electrical
I just wanted to know what kind of experiences some of you have had with these different types of gauges. I have always run mechanical but recently have been running into trouble with the plastic tube sending unit busting under high pressure on my oil gauge. The part I dont like is having oil leaking into the cab. I have considered using copper tubing but it seems to be getting harder to find for this application. I have also noticed how electrical gauges are cheaper? I thought it was the other way around, or someone got their prices mixed up. Are electrical gauges as accurate? Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Derick.
