    I had a volt meter light go out on a 2016 Pete Glider last year. It is a sealed unit and being the Type A that I am, all gauges have to be lit regardless of the need to constantly see that gauge. I told my shop to order it since we couldn’t replace a bulb. My shops parts man told me $200 for a new one from Pete. Luckily we found one on EBay for $19. I would have paid the $200 if we couldn’t have found one cheaper because I want everything on my truck to work as it is supposed to, whether I need it or not. I am sure there are plenty of others who feel the same way and shell out the $200 to Paccar who probably made $190 net on that gauge.

    It looks cool. But I prefer the old fashioned needles and cables.
    But I digress, being able to read a code with a touch of a button does make me happy. Glad your getting what you like!!
