gloshift gauges good?

anyone run the gloshift gauges? are they as good as the adds make it sound or are they problem prone? i just put in autometer gauges and the pyro is acting up already . looking at getting some of those as they look pretty sweet and i need a fuel pressure gauge anyways....0-30 psi good enough for fuel?

For me you get what you pay for. I had autometer in my first truck, never a problem and good warranty for anyone who ever had issues. Next 2 trucks were ISSPRO. I just like their gauges better.

You will need more PSI for the fuel pressure if its for your 12V. You will peg the 30 psi gauge at higher RPM levels.

Some people love them, others hate them.
You definitely get what you pay for.
Personally I prefer to buy made in the USA = Isspro
You need at least a 40 psi FP gauge on a 12 valve.
60 psi is preferable.

i get what i pay for....i thought they were rather expensive compared to my autometer gauges im not really talking about looks or opinions here either, just trying to see if the quality is there. nothing worse than buying the same thing 3 times....hard to explain, u know?

From what I've read GloShift is very good about exchanging defective gauges for free.
They don't pay you to remove and install them though.

I have the 3in1 in my 12v and it works well it's just super hard to read in the light due to the tinted face. I wouldn't buy from them again, I have always had good luck with autometer and the quality seems higher. That said Isspro are much higher quality than autometer.

X2 on that

My 3-in-1 gauge works great, but I've swapped out for Mopar Perofrmance (autometer) Boost, Pyro, and Trans temp. just cause I think they look cool and I hate how that Glow Shift Gauge beeps and sings when I start up, as well as the issue with reading it in the light. Fuel pressure and trans pressure are ISSPRO. You can't beat ISSPRO.
I know a few other guys running Glow Shift Gauges and they are pretty good for what you pay.

I have had people for the first time look @ my gauges and say *** !!!!!!!!!! Lets start , lens convexed makes it hard to read , This co is 5 min from my house , nice guys for sure and these gauges were made for the tuner market and knowing that explains why they are TOYS R US !!! Bunch of young clueless guys trying to make it the high end diesel market in which they fall short .

i have had 3 sets over the years, i had them in my old 6.5 chev and they did the trick, then i had them in my dodge for over a year and the egt and trans temp went all screwy.. i contacted jason at glow shift and he sent me a full new set of their second gen gauges for free, i didnt even pay shipping.. all i had to do was send the old ones in so they could diagnose them.. i must say the new ones seem to be built better, and they have an auto dim feature now.. overall i am happy with them and they do look good, warranty is great..
