Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) wastegate repair and test help...

[Axtell3]

I put a LarrB's in mine and it worked about a week. Then after doing weeks of testing and doubting myself got one from Torktec. done deal. get your guage installed then you can figure out the problem. In my case isspro from Geno's filled the bill. I'm not trying to be the salesman, just relating what has worked for me.

well. . got the fuel presuure tested today,,as soon as i flor it,,the pressure drops to zero,,i guess the lift pump i replaced a few months ago,,wasn't as good as i was told,,LOL... it was supposed to be from a almost new truck back then,,guess not,,got another brand new pump from Cummins,,theyare cheap,,$117. 00... now i'll be looking to buy a fuel pressure gauge or 2 to monitor pre and post pressures so i dont change filters for nothing,,if anyone has a good recommendation please let me know your FP gauge experiences,,,As for Isspro,,,i'm not too crazy about them,,i had problems with 2 transmission temp gauges,,the first one was the analog kind and went dead in a bout a year,,the replacement they sent was the kind with a control box,,it didnt even work right out of the box,,so i kind of gave up on Isspro,,,i'd rather go for a more well known gauge maker,,

I've never had a problem with my 10 year old Isspros, so I went with the Isspro 2 for my fuel pressure. With their senders, only the 2 series will tolerate diesel. I installed a 100psi oil filter gauge and bought another sender and harness from Isspro. I installed it by tapping the inlet banjo fitting, connected a flex grease gun hose and a needle valve with female fittings on both sides. The second sender went into it and the harnesses go to a double throw/triple pole toggle. With a flip of the switch I can select oil presure or fuel pressure. You could do the same for in and out pressure. As for well known, Isspro makes the OEM gauges for Dodge and is located in the US.

i only had issue with my Isspro trans gauge,,,but 2 gauges in a row,,made me kind of loose confidence in them,,Isspro making the gauges for Dodge isnt exactly confidence inspiring,,it just means they make the cheapest gauges possible,,

Now for my fuel problem,,put in a new lift pump,,,,dropped the tank again to make sure not junk was in there,,,fluched the lines,,,now everything is back up where its supposed to be,,,now the search for good FP gauges start. . thanks to everyone who gave their pointers,,
