Thanks for the input gh0st. Do you remember what issues people have had with them?

They crap out before to long. I am a tight wad and don't like spending anymore than I have to. (Maybe is because my wife beat it into me) But when it comes to doing a job once and not having to worry about it for a while, I will spent a little extra to get it done.

I had a friend that had them in his rice rocket, never had any issues. But then again, diesel trucks are a lot harder working vehicles that require durable parts to perform as needed.

That makes sense, and I am usually like that with most of my stuff. I will have to a little more research on the gauges and see what the verdict is. Thanks again for your input!

Okay. Things are slow going around my place, but I thought I would update anyway. I finally have a fuel pressure gauge on order. Should be here this next week. I did some thinking and decided that I would go for the better ones even though it costs more money. So, I went with the Auto Meter, mechanical series. One thing checked off the list, only 50 more to go.
