Auto Meter guages?

[DocDetonancour]

Anyone got the AM guages? Local vendor sells them only. How about night view and color of bulbs? Thanks, Doc

Why not check with www.genosgarage.com or some other places online?



I don't like the look of AutoMeter guages. I prefer 270* dials.

I have autometer ultralights. Got them from Geno's.



I left mine as the white light but I think it still looks good.

You can get covers for thebulbs to change them into several different colors. Blue, Green, Red, Yellow... probably more.

I have them, the phantom series, they look pretty good at night, awsome during the day. I have the green covers on the bulbs, they come with a couple different bulb covers so you can tint the light color. The work great and are made in the US as well. I will take some pictures of them at night, I do not think I have seen any posted before and post them. There are some pictures in my reader rig, but not any good close ups.

My EGT and boost guage swing 270 degrees, my trans temp and oil temp swing 180 degrees.

i have the ultralite series boost & pyro on my truck. i put the green covers on the bulbs. i have some day & night pictures in my sig under the autometer gauges album

Di-Pricols all the way

AMs are good but so are Di-Pricols, which look better at night since they match the other instrumentation. I'll bet a poll would indicate that more buyers go DPs than AMs.

i would have gotten their gauges, but i don't like the pyro. new style is better, but that big white dot doesn't work for me.

What big white dot? Am I missing something? Both gauges (pyro and boost) look the same to me.

If you look in my readers rig galleries you'll see what he is talking about. There are day & night pictures there.



On the whole, I liked the DiPricols because they looked closest to the factory gages (IMHO). The match is a little off at night, but I'm happy with them none the less.

Doc DeTon--Save your self some hassle and go with Geno's 3 gauge A-Pillar Pod and Di Pricols. The gauge pod color matches perfectly and the gauges look like they came from the factory. Di Pricol made gauges to match Dodge gauges. I just finished my i

nstallation and can't believe how good it looks. IMHO

Hi, Juan, the manufacturer must've listened to your complaint because my DPs (boost and EGT bought a few months ago) don't have a white dot. That's why I was confused. Yeh, the night color is a tad off but not so much that it's noticeable. Looks pretty cool!

do you have pictures of these new pricols that don't have the dot on the pyro?

I can try to get one.

Hey Jeremiah, where did you get them from? I've been looking at gauges myself and talked myself out of the DP's because of that flacky white dot. If they have changed the EGT I might look into them closer now. Although the AM autolites while not matching the stock gauges, will match the brushed chrome trim inside of my truck. And I'm thinking that here soon aftermarket companies will be coming out with covers for the stock instument panel.

Got 'em from Geno's. Lemme check and make sure, though, that the white dot really isn't there. I've never noticed it. I'll look at it tonight.

Love my ultralite Autometers. . there are a few fuzzy pics in my readers rig mounted on a A-pillar. .

 

[gsbrockman]

I have the Autometer Phantom Series boost and pyro gauges in my '03. The cubby hole gauge mount was purchased from Colorado Diesel. Pics are in my Reader's Rigs section if you want to take a peek. I like them extremely well and have received lots of compliments from many people.

I looked at 'em again tonight. No white dot! Tried to shoot a foto but had the camera set on "fine" and the TDR wouldn't accept it. Take my word for it: no white dot. Gentle glow only that almost perfectly matches the speedo, tach, etc.

Jeremiah,



You've got a PM.
