thanks for letting us know all the information from the recall Louie and to Ejj for the information of the recall..

i called Autometer up.. got some information, gave some information.. sent my "half sweep gauge" w/o the sender to Autometer via UPS .. and within a week or two i got back a brand new "Full Sweep gauge" w/ full sweep sender.. all i paid was shipping to them.. sweet deal



i urge all you guys who are running half sweep autometer gauges to send them back.. #1 its dangerous ... #2 you get a full upgrade for only shipping charges..

 

ohhhh master of the universe..



can you explain the difference between half sweep and full sweep gauges for the less guage savy people...

 

This is just for the fuel pressure gauge, right?

 

uhhhhh, cool, can you link me to the post with the recall info

 

The Half retails fro about $99 and the Full Retails for about $179.95

they both measure pressure from 0 - 100 PSI however the half sweep is in increments of 25 PSI while the Full Sweep is in increments of 10 PSI so its more accurate

the half sweep also only shows about half of the circumfrence of the gauge.. while the full sweep shows 3/4 of the circumfrence..

Full Sweep is on the Right and listed as 5763


Autometer rightfully got rid of the 5709 aka Half sweep gauge off their site and off there seller's sites.. so i can't show you that pic

 

yes.. but only the half sweep fuel pressure gauge.. its a problem with the sender, its prone to leaking


i will do even better.. here is the link to the recall from autometer

FYI: when you call autometer.. they only want the gauge.. they won't even take the sender

 

It wasn't free because you sent in your "half sweep gauge".

 

por que?

 

Here you go...

Didn't you pay for the half sweep?

 

Same here. I just got mine back yesterday. Brand new Full Sweep FP guage, and a brand new EGT guage. I had problems with mine, which where do to the control box, so I sent it in. They sent me a brand new one, which no longer uses the control box for free.

I am very pleased with AutoMeter's service.

 

no i stole it

hmm.. mine still uses the control box.. maybe i should send it back

 

Well, there has to be something wrong with it....nothing a good glass of water couldn't fix though!

However, other than the lack of the control box, it is no different. Just a LOT easier to install.

 

cool .. thanks again for more info..

Half-Sweep FP guage is the bottom one.

 

Just called Autometer. The person I talked to said to send in the whole thing, sender and gauge. He also said they're sending out some half sweep some full sweep gauges as replacements.

 

that sucks.. they must have made a new half sweep and are giving those out now.. you should tell them you have been inconvienced and you demand a full sweep

 

That's what I did.

 

Stick it to em.

its for sale by the way http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=159072

 

COOL DEAL!!!

They will be sending me a full sweep also

Thanks Sprinty, Louie and EJJ!!!

 

Arrggghhh...someone want to remove the gauge and the sender for me

 

And you're only asking what it cost you plus shipping, right?

 

i am charging

Price of Half Sweep + Trauma of running a bad sender + Time taken to send it back + shipping

 

What other guage did you get in the mean time?

 

none.. but i am going to get a greddy boost gauge so i figure i keep it uniformed.. but if no one buys this i will just keep it..
