Rail Pressure

[Cattletrkr]

I'll be getting a new '07 (hold over) 3500 C+C soon. I want to move my gauges over to the new truck. Can I still use my rail pressure gauge?

I was going to try and do the same thing from my 05 to my 08 and i dont see a plug anywhere on the rail.

lol yeah thats exactly what i said about a month after i bought almost $700 dollars worth of guages from genos then i decided i wanted a new truck! oh well the boost and pyro still will work so now i guess ill get a trans temp since this will be my first ever automatic out of 8 trucks.

That's a good idea. I'm gonna ask even thought I think I already know the answer... Is there a port for a fitting or does one need to be fabbed?

 

[SoTexSmokin]

uh... honestly i havent even looked yet underneath the truck or near the cooler, i had once thought the Acu Temp Adapter from genos would work but i recently found out it only works with the 48re lines, so what ill prob do is either splice into the cooler line or try to mock up something sort of like the Acu Temp. And if all else just go ahead and get a mag-hytec transmission pan with a sensor bung already welded in.

I stand corrected i just talked to genos on the phone and now they say it WILL work! so that make sit pretty easy i guess.

I saw in another thread somewhere about someone putting a RP gauge in. Anybody know. I'll see if I can find it.

5. 9 or 6. 7 ?

 

[Cattletrkr]

The smartass in me would say, "I posted it in the correct forum". The nice answer would be a simple "6. 7".

The dumbass in me knew that I may have had that one coming.

I've heard the rail pressure gauge on the 6. 7L is rated to read higher pressures, and while your rail pressure gauge will read, it will not be accurate.

Just for the record Mag-Hytec does not have an Oil Pan for the 68RFE, yet. When they have one I would like the have a Mag-Hytec oil pan on the transmission to match the Differential Cover. Then it would be nice to replace the Engine Oil Pan to add about 1 Gal of oil in the Sump.

buzz kill, i could have sworn i read in i think it was diesel power that they did a trans pan install not too long ago, oh well
