Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Check out these Fuel Pressures

[DTangstrom]

I installed a fuel pressure gauge this morning. I went off the fitting at the back of the filter housing, with Genos hose. Truck idles at 8 psi, at about 1900-2000 rpm it goes down to about 2 psi. Does anyboby have a Carter's part number for the lift pump. I thought I might check a local truck parts dealer to compare a price with that of the Cummins Service center.

With this setup, I adjusted the regulator so that it read 14 psi and when I tow, it don't go down below 12. In the diagram, I forgot to put in the stock filter. it is there, just forgot... This makes all the pumps have a small head pressure even the pusher pump.
