Fuel pressure gauge
Has anybody installed a fuel pressure gauge? If so which brand. I do realize you need to use an isolator so fuel does not enter the cab. Maybe some of you feel it's not a necessary, but I like gauges. I was also thinking of adding an oil temperature gauge in addition and maybe install the two gauges in a gauge mount that fits into the factory instrumentation area. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks! P.S. I already have the standard 3 pillar setup.

I have a full sweep electric gauge in a gauge works three gauge overhead mount. I liked everything but the price. I got the fuel pressure from the rear of the filter housing I will take a pic if you want. I ended up with a extra water temp gauge(dont ask) and am planning to combine oil, trans, rear diff on the same gauge using a three way switch. Just havent got around to that yet. Trying to save a little money-knda late now!.

I did a write-up on an inexpensive fuel pressure gauge installation, if you are interested:

I have the Autometer electric fuel pressure gauge. It worked well for about two weeks and then it fried. I think it happened because of the heat involved in being in the confined space of the pod, which is black, and the light inside the gauge for lighting. It lasted about two weeks. I eventually got a new sending unit sent out, but in the end I got a new gauge, wiring, and two new sending units. I am just going to run it without the light to see if it lasts.
My 200,000 mile pump apparently drops about 15 psi at WOT above 3000 RPM... I have the regulated return setup and it starts at about 70 and drops from there. I bought a new pump on ebay for about $100 and just need to install it.
