Can anyone recommend a line of gauges that closely match our dash gauges?
I'm replacing them because I want them to be lighted and some of the solutions I've read about don't appeal to me. Also, I'm about doubling the number of gauges and thought it would just be easier with all new.
While I have found some gauges that a close, after hours on the internet I have yet to find a line that has the limits our gauges do for all the gauges. For instance, I don't want a speedometer that reads to 140 if the truck will never even get close to that speed short of going over a cliff.
If you're wondering why I'm getting so many gauges, well, I figure more information is better than less.
So far I'm looking for:
Oil Temp
Transmission Oil Temp
Oil Pressue
Air Pressure
Water Temp
Fuel Level x3 as I'll have 3 fuel tanks
Battery Voltmeter x3 as I'll have 2 electrical systems and 3 batteries
Speedometer
Tachometer w/hours
Boost
Pyrometer
Brake Pressure
If you can think of any more...
Ideally I'd like to get white face with black writing, but mostly I would just prefer that they all match - though right now that's not looking likely.
For instance, I have found a number of speedometers that list 0-60, but then don't list km, so I'd have to get a separate gauge for that. I have found gauges that are 0-65 but they're marine gauges and the lines I've looked at so far don't have almost anything else that match the gauge limits on these trucks.
