Be sure the scale is 100º to 280º or close to that. And you want it very easy to read at a glance when the temp is around 210º to 230º. So I have the ISSPRO EV (enhanced visibility). http://www.dieselmanor.com/isspro/r5659r_ev_transtemp.asp

We've used nothing but Autometer also in our chase trucks and in the race truck... they are good gauges...
I have the C2's (cobalt 2) and I would agree they are rather bright. I am going to make my own dimmer switch for them..

I have found the Isspro to be of very high quality. The autometers have more styles but they also have more returns. The Isspros match the factory units exactly.
For the best pricing go to www.kensperformancesolutions.com

I had problems with my pyrometer at first. (it was my fault) Autometer has really great customer service. They set me a new sending unit probe free of charge NEXT DAY. They have been around for forever AND a day with their gauges in about every race car, truck, tractor, semi, some factory equipped vehicles, and tow rigs. I would buy their products again without hesitation. (I thought all is the isspro gauges looked cheesy)
just my $0.02

I have the same ones as SmokeyWren. The ISSPRO EV series. I bought the Pyro, Trans and Boost gauge from DieselManor. Had a problem with the boost gauge (needle sticking) and they sent me a replacement no questions asked.
They match my 01 factory gauges EXACTLY and I've actually had people ask me if they in fact are factory gauges.

Then you must think your factory gauges look cheesy, because they are a exact match! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif
As I said if you want a bright purple face, with carbon fiber trim ring, and pink pok a dot needles, then Auto Meter probably has them. If you want a high quality gauge that matches the factory perfect, then Isspro is your gauge. BTW. When it comes to gauges, I would rather not know how great customer service is and how many free parts they will send you. I would rather install it once and forget it. The few problems I have heard with a Isspro gauge they were also replaced with no problem, it just doesn't happen as often as AM. Pick your poison. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/depressed.gif

I think ya'll need to chill, this sounds like a Big Oil thread,,, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
I truly don't think there is anything wrong with ISSPRO OR AM,, Or any of the other name brands out there.. The poster above said he had a problem with an ISSPRO gauge, Got it resolved fast and to his satisfaction, I have had one problem with two different trucks, and have had AM in both of those. It was resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. As far as "Cheesy" look. There again NC, come on don't be so adamant about it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Everyone has an opinion. Some are different. That is what makes the world go round and round. If you think they are, then so be it. I LOVE them in my truck, and they are the only one that offered Carbon fiber to match my XLT Sport interior. (So I guess you think that interior is "Cheesy" too? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

Looks like a jet fighter. I would want them all the same light color, it may be the photo though, I agree that's a lot of data to absorb!!

In that picture I still had one autometer in the upper pod... Gone now!!! LOL
7 of the gauges in that pic are prototypes and the lighting is not as refined as the 4 around the factory bezel... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif
