Glowshift Gauges

Glowshift Gauges are complete GARBAGE. I had 6 of them on the shelf for a couple years then installed them on a customer truck and only one worked. The others were either WRONG or just not functioning.
Bought....
- dual air pressure
- battery voltage
- transmission temp
- fuel level
- low rail psi
- high rail psi
The only one that was even close to accurate was the Voltage on an auxiliary battery. By close, it was OFF BY 2 VOLTS.
The other 5 were just wrong when tested. PURE JUNK
In addition the high rail pressure unit caused a P0193 code that would not go away. It also created a misreading of rail pressure from the OBD scanner.
The Low pressure unit was just stuck on 30psi......had to install an inline Autometer to test the function.

IT IS CHINESE GARBAGE...not reliable, just lights that don't even stay on the level set.

I ran 3 of them them in my Discovery for a couple years, no problem. Trans and coolant temp, and oil pressure.

I've had them a long time ago in my mustang. Oil pressure, water temp and volts. Seemed to be accurate but I didn't have anything to base them off of since the gauge cluster didn't give me numbers to reference. They did feel/look cheap but at the time it's all I could afford.

certainly wouldn't buy them again though.

If you want to get some very top notch gauges, that are built to order (you get to customize all sorts of options), I highly recommend Speedhut Gauges. I have used them on 3 different projects and have loved them. Each one, custom done to my specs.

I like my 3 in one boost, egr and pressure gauge. Not the prettiest thing but show me anybody jamming those 3 functions in one gauge with sensors included. I dont like huge gauge pods and nobody has really executed a Android interface for non-OBD2 sensors on older trucks.

I also read a fair share of complaints too. ?
