I dont have an aftermarket meter, but as a note: Get ones with electronic sending units. I dont know about you guys, but I dont want to run hot coolant and oil into the Cab of the vehicle.

i run the manual ones... and i have no issues with the oil/gasses.... as long as there is no chaffing on the tubes they will be fine. the tubes are really beefy going to the gauges. i dont wanna deal with the electrical gremlins that already plague our jeeps lol. just my opinion

can you post a picture of your gauge pods? not to thread jack him. just wanna give him options and ideas on how he can run them
