Questions about gauges
Sorry meant to specify. Im buying an oil pressure, trans temp, water temp and boost gauge. Im looking at these mopar gauges and I see some that are $90 then I see some for $180-$205 but look to be more specific on the temperature readings. Why does it cost so much more and what comes with these gauges that don't with the $90 ones? I just want to make sure I get the correct gauges before buying some and end up having to sell them and buy more.
Here is the link to the gauges I am looking at:

Sorry for the ignorance as I'm new to gauges

price like anything... more money CAN be better.. not will be better
Brand Name is a good thing..
accuracy .... quickness of change of reading.
stability of movement of pointer, fluid filled gauge over air filled... for vibration.
mechanical other then electric...
like oil pressure.. both can be available.. but mechanical can be harder to install and oil inside of tube inside of Truck cab.. many like electric here.
the harder you are going to push the engine the better the gauge should be.
and electric gauges .. make sure you get meter and sender... except volt meter.

personally I would look at auto meter WITHOUT the mopar logo's
maybe less expensive... and same gauge.
I like auto meter.. have for 40 years...

Thanks for the help, I'm not going to push it that hard too often but might every blue moon. Electric gauge it is..
