Worked, then didn't work, now it works.

This gauge looks good but my heart sank the second time I started the engine to have a dead gauge. It was like he didn't have the strength. I wired everything correctly including time to connect night dimming (orange wire to headlight circuit). I wiggled the power connector on the back of the sensor a few times and power was restored. Let me question the quality of the product. Not a very good connection on the back of the gauge

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Very Satisfied: Electrical

I love the look of this thing. Something in it is just "pop”. At first I thought it was damn bright for the night. I then read the instructions and found that the installer didn't connect the orange wire to the headlight wire so night mode didn't work when I turned on the headlights. I took it and did it and bam. Much better. Note: Connect to parking light or headlight. Not for a dimmer. The digital meter is pretty much all I look at for a quick reference, but the analog meter is aesthetically…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Easily repairable

I'll give a good four for spares

As expected, too bright and flashy. Even in dimmed mode at the darkest of the three settings, it's twice as bright as the factory sensors at maximum brightness. A nasty flickering startup sequence every time you start the truck. Also, the analog portion of the sensor is difficult to read unless you're looking directly at it. In general everything is fine. As far as I can tell, it seems accurate. I wish aftermarket items were easier to find with a soft factory aesthetic. I don't add sensors to…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Installation was easy, especially if you're mechanical

Installation was easy, especially if you're mechanical. I've had a fuel pressure sensor from these guys for about 2 years and it has always worked fine. So far the temperature sensor is fine. 1 annoying crap. The cable from the transmitter makes an awkward buzz, so if you run it around the cabin and listen well, it's annoying as hell. I need to run extra wires so the transmitter wire can be coiled up and left under the hood with all the other noise. I don't know why this happens, but I have…

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Only available in black

The sensor that came with the kit was very easy to install

I have a 2006 Ford F250 6.0 and I wanted the sensor to match the factory interior lighting. This sensor series does just that. I was very impressed with how well it worked. Every modified diesel must have a pyrometer. The included sensor was very easy to install. The only part that might be tricky for some is that you have to use a set of taps to get the threads into the manifold. I used a port freight tap and die set and it worked fine. The dimming function works great at night. The light…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Unusable features
