I got the ISSpro gauges, boost and EGT. I returned the first egt because the lowest it would read is 175-200 deg , even with the input pins shorted. The lowest I could get it to go at idle was about 275.

When taking it out, I set it on the console and it rolled onto the seat. When packing it into the box to return it I noticed it now reads about 75? What the heck?

I install the new one. The next morning I come outside and it reads just above 0 deg (its 75 outside) At idle, I can get it down to about 175-200. I also notice, while costing down long hills, I can see 100 deg (even though the truck has been running over an hour) Is this normal? I kept the orginal probe, I hope the gauge is not calabrated to the probe it's shipped with?

Also the boost gauge rattles above 18 psi. While installing the new EGT, I put some of that clay you use to seal RV's over the boost hose, where it comes out of the A piller. It still rattles. is this normal?

I heard of somebody using a propane torch to check the calabration of the probe. got any more info on this?

From the posts I've read, and my personal experience, I would say it is not normal. My EGTs reflect the ambient temperature when parked in my garage. I have never experienced any noise from my boost gauges.

My EGT readings are in line with what extensive reading of posts on this site indicate they should be.

Check with ISSPRO or where you bought the gauges. You shouldn't have any problem getting replacements. I have not read any posts addressing your complaints, but there's always the first. My only complaint is the illumination of the boost gauge - I would prefer it be brighter.
