If ads for wildman, Jody, and Cale were in every page of every diesel mag, you'd start off with custom tunes wouldnt ya!

Yeah, i'm lucky i found this site before i started modding my truck. I remember looking on ebay at different tuners and thinking, hm, this one is $300 and gives me 110 hp, and this one is $400 and gives me 150 horse. Oooh, a banks bundle for $600, i might get that.

Thank God i found this site and did it right the first time.

For one thing the illumination is always on, which is pretty cheap if you ask me, a good set will only have illumination when the lights are on. Also the EGT gauge was inaccurate as hell. We drove his truck around a bit, and since he got on it a bit i told him to wait til the temps got around 350 or 300 before shutting it down. We let it idle for about 10 or 15 minutes and it still showed like 400-425.

He had i think $250 in his 3 gauge set. These did not include connectors, or even wires that were long enough, and not enough boost line. Just about every wire needed to be extended. Plus they are just inferior gauges overall. And they look like ricer gauges.

I had about $350 in my Isspro kit. This included EVERYTHING needed for the install. It came with all the connectors needed, enough wire, boost line, everything. Plus they look better and more professional and are more accurate.

So you can spend a little less money and have a pain in the azz install with a chitty gauge, or spend another $100 and get a premium gauge that comes with everything needed for a fast and easy install. It took about 3 hours total to install my gauges, including lots of dickin around, and about 3 hours to install the glowchits not including the dickin around. You can form your own opinion with those facts.

I was also in on this install. What Jake said is right, PITA. They seemed to be inaccurate and overall just cheaply made. Another buddy of mine has them and his pyro works 50% of the time, even after we went through everything many times..... I like my Isspros... we will leave it at that.

I would spend a couple extra $$$ on a quality set but thats just my opinion.

The way I was reading the TS can be "tuned" later on when I have everything in place that I want. Im I wrong? I have been trying to read and search rather than post up stupid questions and get flamed for it.

Thanks for any info
