what are the options for hooking up my mech fuel pressure guage on my 04? i had it hooked to the shrader valve on my 01 but dont see a shrader on this one. do you have to buy a tapped banjo?

dont mean to be ignorant but,,, what should come with the guage?? there shurely wasn't any banjo bolts?



its a autometer guage that i bought 3 yrs ago for my 01. its the guage and a steel braided line that hooked to the shrader valve after i removed the valve. was wondering if i can do the same or not? thanks

Oh, ok. Well, you will need a banjo with the pressure test fitting. Just remove the schrader valve and you're set. A -4an female to 1/8" pipe will likely allow you to adapt that to your gauge fitting.



You can buy the fitting from Dodge, but they are not cheap.

I got the schrader valve for a second gen from Cummins.

I'm using the tapped banjo at the imput to the CP3 and I believe it is the same tapped banjo used in the second gen VP44's. Should be able to get one of those from a variety of sources.

Scott I plan to hook mine up the same way. One of the benefits is you have post filter pressure readings. This is how my 99 was monitored and it lets you know when the filter needs to be replaced or the lift pump is taking a dump.
