DIPRICOL Gauges any good?

Anyone running these gauges?
I'm looking at the black benzel/ white face ones from www.dieselmanor.com
Seem to be a good price.

i liked mine and i would recommend them.

those gauge were in my old truck that i no longer have.

for my new truck, i now have Isspro for a couple of reasons: 1) i wanted to try them out as i havent heard any major/common complaints, 2) DiPricol's EGT gauge has a larger center area that holds the indicator, an aesthetic reason. yes that sounds like a weird reason not to get them, but if i am spending the money i didnt want to have something i wasnt 100% on.

I chose Isspro's because of the EGT gauge too. BUT, it was a struggle, beacuse I like the look of the Di Pricol Fuel Pressure gauge better.

I'm sure they are comparable in quality, and I can tell you if you are shopping at Diesel Manor, they are within a few dollars in price of each other.

Never heard anything that would scare me away from either brahnd.

if you go through diesel manor, do yourself a favor and tell them you do NOT want the fuel pressure isolator in the gauge kit. saves yourself ~$65-75 and you dont have to worry about it failing...

I already have a isolator for the fuel pressure so I'm good there.
And I'm replacing the current Ispro gauges beacuse the of the pyro, the freekin thing in the middle is to big as is the Dipricol and it redlines for lack of a better word @ like 1200 deg. I'll decide when "Red Line" comes into play. the trans gauge has way to small numbering. The boost gauge is fine and I currently have a Auto Meter Autolite fuel pressure gauge.
They all work fine I just want a change.
And this way they will all be the same instead of Autometer, Ispro mix.
i guess I just want htem to all match.
I'll just sell the current gauges after the new ones come in.

Thanks for the input I feel better now

The new Isspro pyro doesn't have the dime sized blur in the middle. (at least mine doesn't).

EDIT: See my gallery.

Go to..
https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/pics/index.php

Click on the UPLOAD PHOTOS

Follow the directions...

After you upload the photos you got to wait for the staff to OK your pics for the site.

Once your pics are OK'ed then you can view them or use them in posts / threads.

I was under the impression that you had them in your photo gallery already... Sorry...

Isolator failure?

Ok... this is the first time I've heard of "isolator failure". I have an isolator on mine. Installed is last winter. Worked great for the longest time and even pointed to needing a new LP. then FP started to act up. replaced the filter. Never really got my FP back. Seems to have plenty of juice at the schrader. But the FP gauge now reads 0. doesn't even budge. I haven't had time to look at it.
They fail?

By failing I think he ment the gauge failing and leaking fuel fuel in the cab.

As far as your gauge goes get a hose to go directly from where the isolator taps into your fuel line and hook it up directly to your gauge that way you can tell if the isolator is causing your probems or not. I dont think thats your problem because if your isolator failed all that would happen I think is fuel would then be allowed to go directly to the gauge instead of staying at the isolator.

I personally had never ran a isolator on a FP gauge but I did on this one because Diesel really smells bad.
