I have used those sunpros multiple times and never had a problem with them. But I am just to cheap to buy the good ones right now so yea.

Sunpro mechanical work fine for me. Never liked electric gauges.

^^^Truth. Go to the autozone and get the little Sunpro3 gauge universal pod for $25. Mechanical water temp and oil pressure, also has a volt meter. I left my oil gauge disconnected cause, well, it just didn't seem good. lol But the volt meter and water temp gauge are dead on. Sunpro gauges have been around forever lol, they're good stuff. I think mechanical gauges are better imo.

I've used the sunpro ones and they have been reliable but in the end if looks are what matters..get the good stuff

Bleed the air bubble out from under the sensor and you will get a better reading.
