Temp pressure and volts; where are you gonna mount them?
If they are not in-your-face, when something goes wrong,they will never tell you something you don't already know.
Example1;
you're driving along and a puff of smoke comes up from between the hood and the fender. Immediately your brain thinks; was that water? So you look at the gauge and sure enough it says "not normal". See, it verified what you already knew.
Example2; You're blasting thru the gears and you hear this noise that sounds like a rod-knock. Chit! So you check the pressure gauge and sure enough it says "not normal". Again it verified what you already knew.
Example 3;
You're driving along at night and suddenly the lights go dim. Chit! Your brain says;I think my alternator quit! So you check the volts gauge, and sure enough it says "not normal".
I always wanted a guage-pack in my Barracuda, But I've been driving without since 1999. The factory gauges are still in there and working just like the factory designed then to. And I almost never look at them. Well except for the pesky gas gauge,lol.
Since 1969 when I got my Drivers, I've had oil-pressure failures, cooling system failures and charging system failures. And the gauges never ever told me anything that I didn't already know. So
I vote the cheapest gauges you can find, cuz after the novelty wears off, you will rarely look at them.lol. Until something goes wrong. And by then you will already know what.
