Aftermarket Gauges - Any Suggestions?
After reading threads on temperature and oil pressure I am beginning to wonder about my factory gauges and am thinking about adding aftermarket gauges.
Simple questions: any suggestions as to preferred brand (or type); and, are there any particular brands to avoid?
Thanks for the comments - I've found this forum extremely helpful.

If you want to save some money, I've had good luck with my little Sunpro mechanical temp gauge, only $17 at autozone:
Even better, I picked up the same gauge the other day in the discount bin at an Advance Auto store, only $8.00! That one is going in my other GSL.
Since these gauges are mechanical they are immune to the electrical gremlins that often give confusing readings with the stock electrical gauges.

ProSport gauges are cheap and also quite accurate. I think the water temp gauge is like $50 from the website, and if you wanna buy the sensor pipe it's another $25. See pictures.

i have an autometer oil pressure guage. it's i think 2.25", the one that goes to 200psi. i'd like a smaller one but all the ones i've seen only go to 100. my pressure is in the 85-95 range so i fear those gauges won't last long with that high of pressure all the time. i too have the sunpro mech temp guage. but i have the prob in the back of the w/p housing. ur actual guage choices will be limited to budget.

...also, for the Autometer oil pressure gauge, purchase the braided pressure line, I've had both the copper and plastic tubing break due to vibration....dropping oil pressure immediately....
