dipricol guages
for those of you who have them what do you think? i'm planning on purchasing the new optix ones and would love some feed back on how the fit and finish is of dipricol gauges in general, also any parts you needed to purchase with them/parts that were left out of the guage packages?

im in the same boat as you. does anyone sell a complete kit with the dipricol gauges like the isspro kits on diesel manor. the only thing keeping me away from that kit is i think you have to cut the handle off your a-pillar. could be wrong though.

Transmission gauge
I want to put a temp probe in the transmission line, I think Mass Diesel makes a special line. But what I want to know is, if you take the transmission line out to the cooler, and replace it, how much of a gush of fluid if much at all comes out ? Or will it drain the tranny if it is not plugged while doing the install? Always had manuals before this is a new ball game for me.

1baddually,
The Optix are great! The fuel pressure are available and we even have a installation wiring harness that is the way to go! It has individual dimmer circuits for each gauge, they gauges are LED lighted so this way you can match them to the brightnes you ant and to the dash gauges too. Plus the harness actually plugs into the back of the gauge, no other connections at the gauge are necessary, of course you still have to run a boost line and a thermocouple line etc. We have them in black and white face as well. When you pull the trans line you'll get a few drips, unless the the engine is running that is!! On the 2003 + trucks you can also get the color matched A pillar that bolts on in place of the stock A pillar, makes it real easy!! If you want to keep the grab handle look at the over head mounts, they are available in 2,3 or 4 gauge designs.

I've had them (Non optix) for some time. They work and match great. My only complaint on the older ones are that I wish the night time lighting was a little better. In reference to the trans line gushing its not to bad. I had trouble getting the top fitting connected and I lost about a half of a quart. Let some of it drain out and then quickly reconnect the fittings. All of a fifteen minute job.

Had mine in for over a year now and love them. The night lighting could be a little better but it still matches the rest of the truck very well and is not hard to read at all. As for the tranny temp I used the test port in the rear of the tranny for the probe and it threads right in no drips no runs very clean install. I also used the in dash pod because I did not want to lose the grab handle.
