Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) installed digital fuel pressure gauge

[emarsh]

spent about $90 for isspro gauge, have 9psi at idle and 5psi at WOT in 5th gear. Now have just 11k miles on this truck since new. Bought banjo fittings from genos and added aeroquipt 3/8" ID hose with pushlocks and #6 AN fittings, with a vavle in the middle. I can remove the sending unit after closing the valve, then attach a short length of hose with a needle valve to fill up a clean container with filtered diesel for when I change the fuel filter. Already tried it out, works great!

Got a picture?

I did not know that Isspro made a digital fp gauge. I ordered a Dakota Digital, it is $110. I did order isspro boost and pyro, would like to have them all match. Would like to see pictures of what you have done.

I messed up, it is a cyberdyne, I also bought isspro for another vehicle and had that name on the brain!

It's too late to do ME any good, since I just sent for the 30 lb analog guage from Genos - but does the digital job read out in even lbs, or what increments in between?

 

[emarsh]

so far in even pounds, but I think it is programmable.

Emarch how did you set up your FP hoses? Can you post a pic of what you did to get the filtered fuel for your changes?

Update cmckinney; I ordered a genos banjo fitting with the 1/8" fpt port and attached a 1/8 mpt x #6 AN fitting x #6 - 3/8" ID barb fitting using aeroquipt quicklok hose (NOT braided steel trash!) then I added a small ball valve so I could add more hose to my electric sending unit OR since it set up on a #6 AN fitting, I can shuit off the ball valve, undo the gauge sending unit and instead add another short hose section that has a needle valve so I can idle the truck and fill a clean container with clean filtered diesel to use to refil the fuel filter canister. This I use when I change the filter. Then, I just re-connect the gauge sending unit, open the ball valve and bump the starter a few times and it fires right up.
