I have the Glowshift 3in1 Gauge and I love it. For $140 that is. It has 0-60psi analog boost gauge, a digital 200-2000 degree egt, and an extra temp probe for trans or coolant temp. The only complaint I have is the 60psi max on the boost gauge. It just doesn't move enough for me. I pull a 31' camper and needed to monitor things due to the tuner, but I'm also on a budget.

I just bought autometer and I really like the look. Dont go with carbon fiber like I did because all they make in the oil temp gauge is mechanical and the mechanical does not fit our test port in the transmission. They make a short sweep electric but those look dumb with the rest of the gauges full sweep

personally i would stay away from glowshift i had them cuz i use to be a tight *** hated them. like they say u get what u pay for. then i had autometer autolite, loved them. i decieded to switch to digital Edge Insight CTS. It reads so many diffrent things and it was actually cheaper then buyin 3 gauges and a pod.

Isspro... Your paying for the tech in the gauges... Made 100% in the USA.

I've had the autometer and have the Isspro EV2's now... and they are nice. The boost is a little jumpy as they are electrical instead of manual, but they work good.

DO NOT BUY GLOWSHIFT: I had 6 of their gauges and all do not work. They were out of warranty but the fact that all 6 went bad terrifies me.

Subject: Re: Gauge problems

Thanks but that comes out to almost what i paid brand new and i dont want to take a chance. Jegs.com sells the 3 autometer gauges for 180$ plus shipping and it includes both sensors. Because of my 2 deployments these 6 gauges had at most 8 months of use. I'm a little frustrated but thats life.

Thanks for your time.

as mentioned, you get what you pay for. I run autometer nexus guages and love them.
whatever you decide, do not skimp on guages. They are the heart of the safety of your truck.

I started out wanting to get the Glowshifts, the price was appealing, after a bit of research i decided to go with higher quality and reliability. went with the ISSPRO EV2 gauges. After comparing total price of both for everything, i probably spent a little over a $100 more than the Glowshifts (trans, pyro, and boost) - And glad i did, couldnt be happerier. Well worth the extra price, IMO
