dang glowshift

[Hansen01]

im finally gonna break down and buy an autometer pyro this week, currently i have a glowshift pyrometer and ive went threw 3 probes goin on my fourth, has been nothing but trouble for me,lol i think they usually last about 2 weeks affor they start doin goofy stuff,lol

[huntinguy]

havn't had a problem with mine. If you've gone through three I'd say it's somthing you are doing wrong.

[Hansen01]

idk, but ive sent everyone of them back and they have told me that is was the probes fault, and the last time they sent me both a new gauge and probe, now its jus reading way to cool, no way after romping and stopin on it can the temps come down to 150 degrees before i can even get to a stop,lol
i dunno what i would have done wrong, ive checked everything, cus thats what i thought also.
id take any suggestions autometers are exspensive,lol

I haven't ever had any problem out my gauges either? Knock on wood !

i installed my autometer a week or 2 ago using the same wires and it still works fine, it only took a week for my glowshift pyro to fry itself i smashed it the other day

Make sure your engine to chassis ground is clean and secure. When I 1st put my pyro in back (autometer) it did some goofy stuff, i.e. needle jumping around on its own and most especially when I turned on the headlamps. Turned out the ground cable on the front of the block was dirty and kinda oxidized. I cleaned and tightened it and added another ground strap from the firewall to the cyl head and the jumping around stuff went away.

it pissed me off one day so i grounded it to the batery it still didnt work... lol so it was the gauge
