There are so many options for gauges. Is there any general consensus for which brands are best? I'm looking to go with an EGT, boost, and fuel pressure in a triple pillar mount. Autometer? Isspro?, etc? What about the Quadzilla LCD type setups?

Thanks

I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. I've got autometers in mine, and they have been great. And others love their Isspros. Pick a style that you like, and go to town.

I have Optix gauges and I dont have any regrets of buying them. Except those could use metric units...

I have pics in my gallery of them if interested.

I have installed 6 sets of Isspro EV gauges, and I have to say that they are high quality instruments. I have Autometer Sport-Comp gauges on my Lightning, and I like them, but the lenses fog up sometimes. I will probably try the Dipricol Optix on my CTD, when I find one, because I like the look.

I ordered Dipricol Optix because they look good and nearly match a 2nd gen truck. I should have mine in by next weekend. I went with the boost, fuel, and trans temp.

I have the older line of dipricols.. they were good but I had a defective EGT gauge and at the time they were moving locations.. LONG wait to get it replaced.. But since then they have all worked flawlessly and are a great match to the interior gauges.

This article address EGT gauges, but worth the read before you decide...

I just went through the same dilemma while considering replacements for my old gauges.

I chose the Stewart Warner Competition Series gauges for a couple reasons;

1) Made in the USA (Pretty important to me!)

2) 2 year warranty

3) Chameleon LED lighting kit with 600 colors (One of them will have to match my factory instrument cluster! )

4) After seeing them in CASMOKIN's truck they are simply good looking.


To me the ISSPRO's and DiPricols are almost like guessing gauges. Look at the dashes that are supposed to symbolize values like psi and *F. The SW's are about as precise as you could ask for unless you went digital.
