Fuel pressure and trans temp question

[Turboman]

Installed Westach fuel pressure gauge. At idle it is 10-11psi, WOT full load down to 3-5psi, is this okay? Also 5spd temp runs around 150-175 at 70 no load and 200-250 with big load at 70. Is this normal? Thanks

My experiance is, if your fuel pump is working good, no fuel restrictions, or sucking air, you should have a minimum of 10 psi wot. prefilter, with no more than 5 psi drop across the filter.





Are these temps, on the flat or pulling hills, if they are while pulling hills and then the temp drops on down hill side or on the flats then they are fine. If they are at that temp on the flats then I would change oil and check for metal.



If lots of metal, might have some bearings going bad.

You are at the low end of the fuel pressure thing... As long as it doesn't drop more, you'll be ok.



Trans temps seem high... I have a temp gauge on my 6speed, and it has never been above 160°, and that is while heading up a long, steep mountain pass.
