Banks Gauges?

[Nickaru]

First time post, but I've been doing lots of reading on TDR. First mod for my new 2500 is gauges and I'm looking at the Enhanced Visibility Isspro but they've been on back order forever. I found some Banks gauges that look similar but I don't see TDR members mentioning these. Looking for info on these and how they compare to the others. Now before I was a Dieseler, I always heard of Banks Power for Diesels but I don't see much mentioned in TDR. I did see a post about how bad their customer service is. Any info on their gauges and other products would be greatly appreciated.
Next mod: Edge EZ

The one thing I don't like about Banks' gauges is,the two gauges don't match each other. The bezels seem visibly different and one has a weird cover in the center where the other doesn't.

Banks customer service is crap. And there gauges are only warranted to be accurate + or - 15 which is pretty bad. Banks spends the most money on ADVERTISING, not quality or customer service. If you are going analog, stick with Autometer or VDO. I have Autometers, definatley the most reliable and accurate. www.autometer.com if you dont see what you want, call them. They have tons of options, 5 different styles, 3 different sizes, 4 different lighting colors and 2 different bezel colors, plus they will custome make any gauge you want.

Gotta say I rather like my Banks gauges. Who's to say how accurate any of them are? Do you really know if it's 700 degrees or 750 when driving down the road. You will love the EZ.

I have Autometer and they look trick. I thought the banks looked kinda cheap.

I also like my Banks gauges, they both look the same EMD may have seen some when they made a design change 3 or 4 years ago. My pyro started reading 100° high after 5 years, Banks replaced it free with no hassle, I call that good service.

I hate my Banks gauges. On my second pyro gauge. VDO Vision gauges will be replacing them soon. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it!

I purchased the Banks EGT and boost guages.
When new, they didnt look too bad. Now (less that one year) one bezel looks kinda black/blue and the other looks normal.
The other complaint is the boost light is really dim, but the EGT light is fine. I am speaking about the look at night.
Looking for a trans temp guage, but not sure if it will be Banks, since the other two are on the A-pillar mount, and will probably put the transmission guage in the ash tray.

Bye all.
