Which one are you referring to ? The $265 kit says "made in chine" on it. Does that matter, or should I be looking at a cummins oem unit. ?

BTW,

I kind of like the white numbers on the gauge. Seems to be the most visible for my old tired eyes.

Yes the $265 kit, no worries about the made in china as almost everything is now days.

There are a few different pumps that all look the same externally by different manufacturers (internals are different however), this one is the best one (larger volume and you get your pick of spring pressure).

You are only getting 1 PSI of fuel pressure at idle?
Or was the motor turned off?
How is checking out your speedo behind those gauges?

Is your idle speed 2K?

oliver foster

The 2 K is his exhaust temp. reading, which if he just fired it up sounds about right.
The tach. is to the right and just out of sight.

Duh. Thanks.

Mine idles 350 cold to 425 hot. Pre turbo of course

That was when I just shut the truck off (1 psi). When idling and driving, it fluctuates between 3 and 4 PSI, but never higher.

Speedo is ok, as the only part you cannot see is from 0 to 25- 30MPH. I can still see everything else except for 75 and higher...



but then again if I'm going that fast... who cares ? right ?

NJTman

What's really cool now is to watch the temps fall before I turn the truck off. I always knew that you were supposed to wait to shut the motor off, but never really knew how long...

Now I just see the needle hit 300 and I can turn it off...


Gauges give you a comfort level that previously didn't exist.... at least for me, that is.
