You want Cheap and High Quality in one shot? Here you go!
Gauge is ISSPro from...
EVA GAUGE Mechanical FUEL Pressure 30 PSI Black
Banjo bolt is from Geno's (~$7 bucks)
Then the air brake line and fittings from a local NAPA store. (~$15 bucks)
Better than any Glowshift and rock solid, good quality, and good looking!

Actually this is wrong because the VP44 is the source of water hammer pulses... You want the gauge as far as possible from the VP44 to prevent water hammer damage from occurring. I've got a pretty good article about this.

For accurate readings you need to place the sender at the inlet of the VP

I've always read that you put it at the inlet and use a needle valve to prevent the pressure spikes from damaging the guage. So where do you use the banjo bolt

Like myself mine is the line between the stock filter can and the VP44 and I fight to set the needle valve because of the proximity to the VP44 I'm, only back about 3-4 inches... If I had the extra fund I would change that piece of big line kit and move the gauge tap back to the stock filter can with a tapped JIC elbow.

check this out, they seem fairly priced plus they are electronic so you dont have to run fuel line in to the cab.

Well, I ordered a Glowshift 30 psi electrical on Monday. I plan on putting the sending unit in the Airdog base. We'll see how it goes.
I didn't know the Glowshift gauges had problems. Guess I should've researched a little more.
Thanks to all of you who have posted replies. I've had the truck since '05 but have never been inside it till the VP went out.

This is one reason why I highly suggest air brake line which is rated for 600-800 PSI burst strength.
