Yes & I'm happy with mine came with every thing needed except about 3' of extra wire for one of the gauges. Pretty good fit & can change gauge tint as the light demands.

Did you get the white and if so, how do you like the look?

Yes mine are the white & I like the color change but even more was the fact that they didn't ask me to buy sending units separately.

I've got them in mine. The pyro seems to work when it wants to, the boost line has blown off numerous times at around 30 psi, and the trans temp will go on and off as I'm driving down the highway. Mine are the black, but I doubt it makes a difference.

A few friends have them in their trucks too, and have assorted problems with them.

If you can get them to work properly all the time, for a long time, they're a great deal.

I have these in black and they work fine for me. Although a friend of mine has had the problem of the boost line blowing off. Pretty scary the first time you hear it

Well, I guess I will find out next week. UPS will have them here Monday. I may put a crimp on the boost line.

If I remember right that's what my friend did to keep it on.....or a really small zip-tie.

Ive been considering these gauges because my dual pillar with auto meters has been acting up. Pyro gets a little freaky, boost can be sticky and only goes to 35psi, but I don't want to trade one headache for another. Got me thinking...

My ISSPRO's did the same thing in my old truck. A new pyrometer probe, and a quick shot thru the boost line with a compressor, and both worked great.

I've been contemplating running small inline filters in the boost line, like some guys do with drive pressure gauges, to keep things from acting up. It's supposed to clean and all on the intake side, but every time mine or a friends truck acts up, a quick shot thru the hose blows a bunch of gunk out and they work fine. BTW, this is done with the gauge disconnected, and the end in a small jar.

Well the little brown truck fairy just drop off my gauges. And I had already pulled my lower dash panel and pillar cover. Just tested a fit and I can not get the new pillar cover to slid between the A pillar and the dash board. Last thing I want to do is crack my dash. Anyone have this issue and also, did anyone just use the new cover without drilling holes in you stock one?

If you have a problem with Autometer gauges contact them.
They have great customer service.

BTW egauges.com has great prices on gauges.
I'm a research nut, so I did a bit...
