I went with an AutoMeter 0-30PSI elecrical guage from Lopers in Mesa. I think I paid around 200 bucks for it but it was easy to install and it reads like a champ. I just recently put in a FASS pump and plumbed the sender into the line just before the VP44.
I'm satisfied with it..
I don't know how often you get down to the valley but if you do, you can compare prices with Loper's and Wilkies in Mesa.. I didn't shop around the valley but I'm sure there's more places.

I've had good luck with my isspro. -41 and it works fine. The rest of the truck is not too happy....

Just make sure you use a diesel compatible thread sealant... ask me how I know...

Well, excuse me! I didn't mean to offend you. Perhaps you can find something in Prescott or Prescott valley if you can handle the snobs.

What about the dentist? By the looks of the folks I see there on my way to my ranch, there's isn't one in Chino.

All kidding aside, Flag maybe a good place to look for a guage..

Funny thing about Arizona. Most of the people here are from somewhere else. I am a native here and seen this place change quite a bit.
Ever since they killed our forestry industry, all the mountain towns became vacation-cabin and retirement communities. Then the "equity buyers" from Cali find out about places like Payson, Sedona, Prescott and the like and they moved into those places by the 100 thousands and then wanted to change them from rustic western, good people towns to liberal, artistic holes.
Old west town towns like Flagstaff and Tucson are now filled with college-uneducated liberals and snowbirds who decided not to go back to the North Dakota tundra.
At least there's plenty of open country to disappear in and get away from it all..

I have a Isspro R5604R, 0-30, gauge - no isolator. This is a mechanical gauge that I've had for over two years and it has worked just fine. I use a needle valve to dampen the pulses from the VP44 and also as a safety valve to shut off the flow of fuel into the cab in case of a leak. I bought my gauge from Diesel Manor. The gauge has a black dial and bezel; red pointer and white numbers/lettering.
