Cheap Ebay gauges

[MetalMulishaMarcus]

Anyone use these cheap Ebay gauges? You like them? Pros & cons? Would I just be better off paying a little more and getting the Dakota digital gauges?

@CK5 delete this. Just gonna spend the money and get better gauges.

I don’t know if you need to delete it, but I would definitely say don’t get the digital readout gauges. I had them once and hated them.

I'm gonna get Dakota digital analog gauges. Just gonna spend the money.
I'm LS swapping so I'll need to change everything anyways.

Good call

Would be interesting to see how they mount internally, and what they cost separately. I can see them being useful for diagnosis or whatever, if easily mounted to something like a gauge pod. The factory gauge faces are not conducive to mounting to anything outside of the cluster.

*IF* they used standard GM senders, which they do not apparently.

Yeah I know. Was hoping someone bought these and had good luck with them. I cant find anymore info on them since they are unbranded. Better to just spend the money I guess.

Yes, it sucks to have to spend more, but sometimes it’s just better to spend the money.

Probably gonna invest in either Dakota digital or a set of these gauges.

I'm liking these.

I'm really excited about what appears to be higher quality, restoration/modification parts coming along for these trucks. So much for so long was just garbage. I know they're expensive, but I've really been wanting the new Dakota digital set for my 79.

I especially like some of the more 60s muscle car looking style they have as an option. Not to mention a tach that goes past 5000 RPM.

I was looking at brothers truck parts website last night and wow so much stuff I could buy for my truck...good thing some of these shops aren't close to me.
