Boost and pyro gauges

[Bigcol]

I have a Watchdog Engine Temp gauge im taking out of my old 4wd and putting in my patrol, it has a user set alarm on it and works good.

Been reserching gauges and evan the dear ones give people trouble.

Might go the Autotechnica ones also, $139 for both on fleabay.

Cheers

well, I have the old Autron ones - that are now the Redarc ones
3 x triple gauges
been in for 3 years, never had a problem with them

alarms go off when they reach the set reading
Water, Oil, EGT's, Boost, Batt 1, Batt 2, Amps, and Air Temp

if you are wanting quality, yes it costs
but
as I said, I have never had a problem with mine

OK this comment has got me thinking.
Tonight i noticed my Rev gauge is jumping around a bit.
Does a bad earth affect that?
I thought the earthing issue was solved a few models back.
Perhaps I have a problem.
Think its time i fitted a better earthing strap.

my GQ, I had an earth strap off each battery to a separate place on the chassis, I had one from the Gearbox to the chassis, and another from the Motor to the Chassis

never had an earth problem with her

my GU - I only have separate earth straps of both batteries

they are separate from the factory loom

@ BigCol you may find there are earth straps for different section of the patrol
Battery to motor, motor to chassis, chassis to engine bay, then cabin section
then to the body, cargo area and so on
Can never have too many earths I reckon.
