I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Glowshift. Some don't have problems, but quite a few have had pyrometers that don't work right and boost gauges that don't work. But they are priced much better. I got a deal on mine, $75 for both gauges and a 3 gauge pod. Didn't need a 3 gauge pod so I traded it for the pillar pod I put in there.
Nothing yet... still waiting. And now our roof has a leak after the storms we have been having. South of us got 20 inches of rain in 48 hours, and we got about 10-15.
Thanks Les. I'm glad I got it done. Now I can keep track of my temps.

I don't tow too often, but with my 160cc injectors in it now I don't want to melt pistons if I decide to get frisky with it or take it to the track.
I'm planning a intercooler install later down the road to help with that.

I know they are a fairly new company with mixed reviews. I have read about problems with gauges that the company has fixed or replaced with no hassles so that's a positive sign that they stand behind there products. I figure for $175 for 3 gauges (including pyro) and a pillar pod it's worth taking a chance on them.

Yeah, when I can get a early '99 intake spider I will start getting the tubing and a intercooler from a 7.3 or 6.0 so I can make my setup.
My temps are fine now, but I'll see how it does towing my wife's car across the country in a few months.

Evan, I have read that some guy used a 6.0 intercooler on a 7.3, I think it was in the Diesel Power magazine a couple of months ago. I see a 6.0 intercoolers add on Creigslist every once in awhile, the 6.0 guys must be updating to a Banks or ?

That's right Les. I can use one from a 99-03 7.3 truck or from a 6.0
They both fit very well in my body style truck, just have to modify the pipes a little bit. The 6.0 intercoolers are supposed to flow a little better but either one will do what I need it to. I see them pretty often also for pretty cheap.

I'm going to try to get a 6.0 cooler when I get to that project...
