best place to buy guages

just wondering where you guys are purchasing gauges and pillar mounts. im overdue for a set in my truck. also what range should i be looking for on the tranny temp. ive seen 250 and 320 degrees. im coming close to buying from egauges.com but figured id see what everyone elses says first.

TIA

Temps also depend on where the sending unit is...
In the pan... yes these are not good temps...

In the output line... maybe not so bad?

I think he was asking about the range the gauge covers not saying what his trans temp was.

I shopped around online for a few days....weeks til I got the money and had located all the best deals. I know a place in Nashville and they price match, showed them the printouts and they matched the prices. Got two that way, when I went to buy my egt I found a site online that had a ridiculous price(cheap) and I called and asked if they were serious. Paid for it over the phone, about a day or two later got it in the mail, shipped from the place in Nashville where I bought my other two gauges. I saved a ton of money this way.

If your looking best price do what I did, if you got a pocket full of cash just waiting to be relocated, just buy the first thing that comes along. It's just a matter of what brand you want etc.

I'm planning on putting mine in the hotline going to the trans cooler. Just gotta find time to install it! Heres a good thread about it with some part numbers for the stuff you'll need. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...090#post362090
