I've never owned one, but like I said I read alot of bad reviews. It's your money, I will say the gs gauges I have are fine, and all seem to be right on point.

Autometer looks good, no doubt, but I don't have the dough for them, not all at least.

Kool and yes I saw some bad reviews, mainly the FP. But I think most were because the valve was set up on the VP an that rattled it loose or what have you. One guy did say he rigged it to his firewall and all's good... I'll bite the bullet with them, see what comes about. If they do fail they'll get an earfull, guaranteed. I think they're actually based here in TX not too far away, I can always truck up there and show em what's screwed.

Thanks for the input and laughs guys, I knew I like this place for some reason or other.

I guess if that's all you can afford, go for it. I wanted all ISS but it was the same issue for me. If you have issues just hound them, other forum posts said guys were getting replacement sending units and even whole gauges for free, so atleast you have peace of mind in that.

aguilar_15 -- THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SNUBBER WAS BECAUSE THE CUMMINS SENDS A BUNCH OF PRESSURE AT START UP WHICH WILL BUST THE GAUGES OVER TIME...........I DO LIKE MY GLOWSHIFT GAUGES BUT THE FUEL PRESSURE DOES BOUNCE AROUND A LOT---NOT TOO SURE IF ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY.

the snubber is to soften spikes and flucuations before the gauge, they should be used with most liquids to prevent gauge damage. if its a electronic gauge, there sender should have a snubber built into it IMO...

Well I talked to a buddy today that has GS gauges too and pretty much said they're crap. He has pyro, boost and fp but doesn't like them at all. Honestly, from what you've all said and from what I've read I'll just save some more , get ISSPRO or AutoMeter

Thanks guys, yall rock

The stock piston pump needs a snubber to avoid beating the crap out of a fuel gauge. Using an electric like you intend to does not require a snubber. Tell them it is for the FASS, not the stock fuel pump.
