Not real happy with autometer

Shielding is no problem we have an advanced electronics store inside of a mile from me ....as far as grounds go the IP has 9 via direct wiring and three 1/4 inch copper straps ...I am guessing it is grounded ok . the shielding part is another component that is easily accomplished...the same store has meshed copper tube. The Speedo part that gets me and makes me wonder is it is accurate at speeds up to 55 56 mph?!?!? from there it just goes nuts!!!

Joe the C2 gauges at the time ( Nov 2010) did not have an option for an adjustable fuel gauge in the series I bought.... the ***** of it is...these are supposed to be TOP of the line instruments!!! the gas tak has three 1/4 grounding straps to the frame on cleaned of metal with star and lock washers. the sending unit also has a ground post that is run first to the tank and in series to the frame. and that is only a single circuit portion of the grounding from bumper to bumper on the cuda......I grounded this car about 20% MORE than I ground GM cars, and I have been known to use upward of 40 straps bumper to bumper on GM stuff.....so I am fairly certain this is NOT a grounding issue. either the sending units are malfunctioning OR the gauges OR both.

This a real pissoff, I have never objected to ponying up the extra $$ to reach for the quality stuff....what burns me is this stuff has the COST but I am thinking that quality leaves much to be desired!!!

I thought about it and thought about it and fired off a very abrupt item in their technical issues communication AND sent a rather stern e fax asking "wheres the beef? " for that kinda bread I want more than just the bun!!! I am an active member of three sizable Detroit clubs, one being the Pontiac Oakland club which is nation wide and huge and the other being a local Mopar club Michigan Mopar Muscle the next being a slightly smaller club of around 1200 members.... and here on FABO and FBBO...I fully intend to let them know that making this "right" is a really good idea or I will blow an ill wind across all 8000 members of the clubs locally and publish an article in the "widetrackers" mag about how crappy and overly expensive their gauges are along with letting everyone on the FABO & FBBO sites know the same thing... I really have my panties in a twist about this......the speedo is MORE about principle of cost vs value...the fuel gauge is a WHOLE different ball of yarn.... I have sold cars for 20% less than market because they had faulty fuel gauges....I really cannot stomach NOT knowing whats in the tank and how far I can get on it at ANY given time....... I have run out of gas a few too many times because of this crap and in the middle of a cruise is NOT a place to have that happen

I will keep y'all posted on what they do about it... AND I thank you all for responding with your issues ...

sad that it is that you have them at all after spending so very much money for the quality of AUtometer!!

I will shield the wires when AM provides the instruction to do so.... SO I can smak them around a bit FOR NOT including that lil tidbit of info in the mounting and operation instructions and ask them where I should send the INVOICE for MY time & trouble & labor to repair and re-install their equipment at the tidy sum of my consultant billing rate of $250 per hour!!

If I had paid $60 bucks for it them OK the expectations are lower and I take it from there ....but at the COSTS they charge that crap should come out of the box and work flawlessly the first time and every time!......Just sayin, If I pay for quality I had better well receive it!!
