whats a good pyrometer to put in my 98.5?

 

Autometer or Isspro

 

I've had good luck with Glowshift. Now have the 3 in 1 and love it.

 

Got a glowshift three guage pod. Its garbage...

You get what you pay for.....I'd drop the f in glowshift for a description of their quality......

 

I agree. My I had a glowshift pyrometer and boost gauge. I knew something was up when I could only reach 1000 degrees on long uphill pull with a 38 foot enclosed trailer. I wired in a autometer and it was much quicker to respond to the throttle and boost levels. 1000 degrees on my old glowshift equals out to be 1400 degrees on my Autometer.. both probes same spot on exhaust manifold.. they look cool, I just don't trust them.

 

I've got 3 glowshift gauges waiting to stick in my truck. Looks like I might be a bit disappointed but I guess there's one way to find out for sure.

 

^^^Hopefully they work out for you...

Mine is just an opinion, I am pretty picky about quality....

 

Buy made in USA = Isspro

 

Don't count on that. Some of their gauges are US made but many are from overseas. I know as I have been to Isspro several times and have a full set in my '67 W200. Not sure any of those are US made but the speedo and tach might be. Six others are not.

 

Gauges are for one reason and for one reason ONLY.....and thats not for looks. The real reason is so you can accurately monitor whats going on with the engine. Buy quality or you might as well not have any gauge at all. Whats the point of having a gauge which you cant rely on?

 

Never really seen them mentioned on here but Dakota Digital get my vote. Before I hit the forums I purchased mine (a bit pricey) and they've been going strong since I installed them in 2005 (over 160k miles ago). They also match the interior coloring of the 2nd gens nicely!

 

I like Dakota Digital, and yes, you're right, they're not talked about much. I actually had a DD fuel pressure gauge for many years because Isspro didnt offer or didnt have what I wanted back then so I choose Isspro EGT and boost but had DD fuel pressure. At the time, DD was the only electronic fuel pressure gauge that was standing up to diesel. Worked great for about 7-8 years until the ULSD crept in the sender and caused it to fail. Upon finding this out, DD had changed their design to combat the problem but it was going to cost me $200 to change over. Never really liking the mismatch gauges in my truck, I chose to change over to an Isspro mechanical so now they all three match. But back to the point, Dakota Digital builds a quality gauge.

 

autometer man, all the gauges in my truck are autometer ,trans temp,pyrometer,boost gauge,both my diff temp gauges,and my fuel pressure gauge
