Do you have an infrared heat gun? That may be able to help pinpoint which gauge is off and by how much  :dunno:

I do but it's a cheap one from Princess Auto ( like Harbour freight) and it's not good on shiny surfaces. I'd say/bet the speedhut gauge is more accurate though.

I sent Jory a link to this post and he replied ...
" Brad,
    I did notice on the forum that you linked to me that one of the people posted that one of our senior staff was involve with Autometer, which is correct, but all of our product is created here in house. All Speedhut gauges are built here in our Facility here in Orem Utah. We do not use any product from Autometer for our gauges. I’m not sure if you wanted to clear that up with the people on your post. We would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jory"


Just wanted to clear up any misconceptions about Autometer content!  :wave: :2thumbs:

Good to hear. Were you able to use the connectors that came from speedhut or did you have to splice new ones on?
