Intellitronix LMC gauges

[DUD2STUD]

I did a lot of research before I bought these gauges and read a lot of uneducated comments about theses gauges. I just want to take a moment and tell my story about LMC and Intellitronix gauges. One of the first thing I want to address is these gauges are not cheap Dakota Digital Chinese nock offs. Intellitronix is an American company and stamped right on the gauge is MADE IN THE USA. Now to say that there is not some components made in China I can't but that's not the main reason for me writing this. For those that know it did take about 6 months to get them from LMC but more on that later. About a week after installing them the speedo and fuel gauge pegged out but the rest of the gauges still worked. After many hours of chasing wires and trying to figure out the problem I gave up and called Intellitronix and left a message. In about an hour Mal called me back and I went through the problem I had everything I had done to try and remedy the problem. Mal gave me a couple more things to try and said if that didn't work ship it back and he would look at it for me. None of his suggestions worked so I went about pulling them out. Upon doing so I found that on install I had pinched a wire and it had shorted out. Now Mal told me to ship it back and to not worry he would remember our conversation and since he was the tech hotline and the repair guy he would remember and it would take about 2 weeks to get it back to me. Ya right I told myself,here's another 6 months with no gauges. Saturday was exactly 2 weeks and guess what was sitting on my door step when I got home. Now remember the reason the gauges shorted out was my own stupidity for not running a grommet in the fire wall. Not only did I get my gauges back in the exact time frame he gave but they fixed them for free and paid to shipped them back to me insured. Now for the LMC part,when I told him it took 6 months to get his first question was did you order the blue ones witch I did and he said those are the most popular and since they build them in the USA 1 unit at a time it takes a while. Now being a person of bad luck when buying something new and it not working, I can't remember a company that repaired it for free ( remember this was not a warranty issue but a stupidity issue) and shipped on there own dime. I just want to give a props to an American company that still takes care of its customers.
