I have a 2001 3500 that we use to pull our 5th wheel camper. When I purchased it 4 years ago, I changed the fuel lift pump to a frame mounted FASS pump and added a BD LED light to warn of low fuel pressure. Recently, the sending unit on the light malfunctioned, but caused a lot of frustration until we figured out that it was the sending unit that was the culprit. 4 years ago, I also installed a BD X-Monitor 2 set of gauges to monitor EGT, Boost, water temp and transmission temp. In reading through the literature that came with the gauge, it also has the ability to monitor fuel pressure with the addition of the "Optional Ram Fuel Pressure Monitoring Kit #1080150." I contacted BD and they no longer support these gauges and consequently the monitoring kit is no longer available from them. I am wondering if any of you know of a way to find one of these kits. I suspect there are still some kits around - maybe some "old-new" stock at a dealer - maybe in someone's garage - it's just a case of finding it. Any assistance will be appreciated.

To finish the fuel pressure saga - the light came on and we started checking things out. I contacted Geno's Garage where we had purchased the pump and it was still under warranty. The salesmen there were extremely helpful is suggesting additional things to check and eliminate and sent us a loaner pump to install so we could send our pump in for repairs. We installed the loaner and it did not show any improved fuel pressure. So, in the end, we found that we had both a bad sending unit on the LED light AND a faulty fuel gauge that we were hooking up to the engine to check things out. When I explained that to the guys at Geno's, their response was for me to just return the loaner pump - no charge for the momentary use of the pump OR the shipping both ways. You can't ask for better service than that.

Anyway - if anyone knows of the whereabouts of one of the above-mentioned kits, I would appreciate it.
