But you see it doesn't work for every one in the 1st 7 posts you have 2 people saying it doesn't their needs and 2 of the first 7 are yours so 2 out of 5 posts are saying these ranges don't work well for us.
Yes they will. 0-100 psi will read what you need it to ? It might not go over a certain number. But other setups might go higher. They will still read 20 30psi etc so how doesn’t that work? In all the squarebodies I’ve built with aftermarket gauges I’ve never had an issue

Posts 3 and posts 7 neither were written by me,but by customers who say,specifically in their posts say that this does not work well for them. That's why I said that 2 of those posts say that this doesn't work well for us. Sorry should have said this range does not work well for the people in posts 3 or 7. Instead of arguing with me,why don't you try to find out what would really make your customers happy. Looks to me that posts 3 and 7 would like a different choice,that would work better for them. Post 3 told you there might as well be a clock there instead of the oil pressure gauge. I was trying to tell them how to make it more useful to them,not tell them why they should just accept it as is,because it works for you.

I’m not I took it as they want to see a 60 psi gauge instead of 100psi but I also stated that 0-100psi is better to acknowledging motor issues cause you’d peg out a 60 psi gauge. There’s a reason every aftermarket gauge company offers 0-100 psi. If you want to keep stock gauges go for. I’m not here to argue but trying to explain why 100 psi is common. Issues caused by high oil pressure read higher than 60 then the gauge is pegged and you don’t know what your running were 0-100 you would see the higher number

Discount 50% would likely entice folks to purchase them and live with the unrealistic out of range condition. It looks impressive not running but running it’s not practical. The customer is always correct! I was considering a purchase but didn’t even think about the unrealistic range, I will stick with the original gauges; they’re pretty enough for me.

50% haha so lose money? Doesn’t sound great for business. I really do wish I could offer that. But unfortunately doesn’t work that way

They have a set that has a full sweep gauge if you click the link in the 1st post. Easier to read than short sweep

Issues caused by low oil pressure will not be as readily apparent on vehicles that never make more than 60 psi with a 100 psi gauge.That fits the bill of at least 90% of CK pickups,90 percent of CK pickups will never peg a 0-100 gauge.0-100 is a common range gauge but not the only range gauges made,and they don't have to stay stock to get a 0-60 gauge unfortunately whoever manufacturers your gauges doesn't offer something lower. In the mean time anyone reading this. If you change the sender,and remember that the gauge is now a reference, not an indicator of true pressure,you can get the needle into a more usable position on the gauge .

From a preferred vendor, sadly the salesman shines brightly. What should be shining is being a customer service representative, because a customer service representative will listen to the customers and find solutions or products that benefit the consumer. But a salesman argues with the customer just to make a sale. You arguments are not good as a salesman. Try being a customer representative instead. After seeing you argue with multiple members, there is no way I'll buy from you, and definitely won't recommend anyone to buy from you either.

Not arguing trying to state at 0-100gauges isn’t a bad thing that everyone is making it out to be. I’m sorry you feel that way

It's not a bad thing for a few, but it's impractical for many.

I’m not asking you to lose money, I assumed 1000% markup like everything else manufactured over seas. I really liked their appearance when I looked at them a few day’s ago when you first posted. A discount
is welcomed but a steeper discount will move them and put some $$ in your pocket.

Not much margin to move. And have to follow manufacturer pricing unfortunately

Again wasn’t arguing. I was stating that most aftermarket gauges will come with that gauge setup.
Not saying it was arguing. Just coming off very salesman like, slightly pushy towards the product and defensive.

Not upset about it. But a little less robot like interactions would help sales.
