gauges

[SILVERSURFER03]

ok i want to replace gauges next to shifter with working ones which one's are best or at least one's that work and look as close to factory as possable ... any and all ideas welcome thanks

I would go with Ultra lite 2 guages....very similar finish....but brighter and they are real guages. I have them and love them...

Autometer Ultra-Lite. I'm bored with mine. May go Cobalt on console and pillar...

Ultra-Lite IIs look different than stock when illuminated!

AutoMeter Ultra-Lite I (one) gauges look almost identical to the stock gauges in daylight. At night, they are perimeter-lit instead of back-lit like the stock ones.

Ultra-Lite II (two) gauges look the same during the day, but are more like the speedometer and tach at night. The silver faces turn black and the numbers are back-lit, but not green.

But not that much difference!

These are the gauges you'll need.

Replacement Gauges – Autometer (2 1/16)
Oil Pressure – 4327
Sending unit – 2242
Voltmeter – 4391

I replaced my 194 incandescent bulbs with green LEDs.

Looks like this

You need to change the oil pressure gauge as the OEM one is just a dummy gauge..... ie. a glorified idiot light.

The reason you need to change both of them is that they are different enough from the OEM gauges that you can tell the difference when they are side-by-side. If you change both most Marauder people couldn't tell the difference.

yeah im gonna grab em both, i can tell the difference from my gauge pod gauges, to the oems

Autometer must have screwed up then. If you highlight "View Nightime" on the Ultra-Lite IIs on their website, they're RED! :eek:

Oil pressure sending unit comes in the box with the gauge. Brian I got both the oiland volt gauges so they would be the same. I got the Ultra 1's. Now I'm just waiting for the big thaw to put them in.

I use the Autometer NV gauges and to me they are the closest to stock as far as illumination goes and the whole face is lit up so you wont have any dark spots.

i did the oil gauge only. put the stock face on new gauge. extra work but love the look. found the how-to on this site

What else needs to be done when changing the sending unit and the oil gauge? Does new wiring have to be ran or it is just swap out the parts and done?

I used the factory wiring at both ends. Needed to put a ring terminal on the sending unit end.

What about the Boost Guage, which one look the most like the stock MM gauges?
Thanks
