would like to install lift pump pressure gauge on my 2000 2500 5.9 diesel, any suggestions on a gauge kit would like electric so to be able to have gauge in cab. fuel system is stock except fass lift pump. 

I have Isspro EV2 gauges.  They are programmable.  I haven't had any issues with mine.

Vulcan sells nice kits with everything needed. I run an ISSPRO kit from them.

I will check on them thanks

I believe programmable as in if pressure falls below what you set it for...you get a flashing light...aka early warning.  

If buying again...going to get one.  

But my auto meter do have 12 years on them with no problems.

Plenty of us, including me, have mechanical gauges in the cab. It is not a deal breaker.

This. And no pressure transducer to fail from the water hammer effect.

 

I have a Isspro mechanical with a islator.  10-12 years been working perfect, never a leak ,

 

Mechanical is the way to go. I dont trust way over complicated electronics and computer

 

thanks for the information I will look into both  I lost my lift and injector pumps, once already  don't want it to happen again!

I run ISSPRO mechanical too (ev1) I had some problems with the compression fitting, it created a bit of rattling in the gauge too. I changed over to -4an steel line and they have been perfect. 

 

I also run fuel straigh to the gauge. No issues with it. Run a snubber and needle valve and even if it did leak it would be drips. I had a leak once I smelled it well before it even leaked enough to drip off the line. 

 

Also i I find the isolators a pita to setup, not worth the time and clutter. 

 

 

I like that hose but there’s no way that’s fitting through the firewall on my truck lol

Phhhhhh

Yea I got a few more wires then that! Hahah I’ve basically had to splice that rubber piece in half in order to get everything lined up and through in somewhat of a uniformed order.

I am an old farmer and want things cheap and simple. I don't watch the pressure guage constantly and don't need to. So this is what I did. Got an oil filled 0 to 60 heavy duty gauge from a hydraulic supply. ($30.00) gage has 1/8 in  back fitting. Drilled a hole in the floor to the right of the fuel pedal by the heater outlet. Went under neath put a 90 degree to 1/4 in tubing compression. Ran 1/4 in truck air brake tubing directly to the pump inlet. Installation done. Always carry a flashlight in center console. That is my lighting. I look down occasionally when using the truck. I always ck my pressure before starting a heavy haul. What more do you need.

lol that’s pretty legit actually. I was considering just putting my gauge under the hood to check from time to time some since I’m on a mechanical pump... but ended up keeping it on the pillar just because.. 

 

but yea, yours sounds cool haha.

Your AN hose installation looks to be high quality but expensive. I spent about 3 months considering how to do it the cheapest way. I remember when shop hourly rate was $6.00. On the road charge for diesel repair was $12.00. We were raking in the cash.

I got em on amazon, I think they were 45 for both of them. I just wish I bought the 72” not the 60”. Theses fit, nearly perfect, but I could have routed the better with 12 more inches. Ohh well..
