Just got a 01 reg cab 5 speed,4 wheel drive.<br>It is a 2001.5, rear disc brakes,but it has rear fender liners, silver antenna, no lights on visor mirror, has hood insulation.<br>Anyway the first thing I want to do is install a fuel pressure guage, where exactly do I tap into the fuel filter, mine doesn't have the little plugs in the top like a picture I saw on this site.<br>Where and how did you go through the firewall?<br>Where inside did you mount the guage?<br>This is my second diesel truck, my first was a 1984 Ford,6.9<br>that gave me very little trouble over the 180K miles I had it.<br>Thanks,<br>Robert

You got hood insulation?? You lucky dog, I've got a 01.5 and I didn't get hood insulation :'(

I'm an auto so I can't help you about where to come through the firewall. We can use the space that's evidently taken up by your clutch, I think. As to where to hook up your fuel pressure gauge, I added banjo bolts and put a shraeder equipped banjo on the input to the injection pump and hooked my fuel pressure gauge from that point. That way, I'm getting a POST filter reading and of course after the lift pump. When you get around to ordering your stuff, check with Rod at Wildcat Diesel, one of our site sponsors. He'll fix you up with everything you need. Other guys will chime in with their &quot;favorite&quot; spots. I've got my gauge mounted in a dash mount with 3 other gauges. Many like the A Pillar mount system. Lottsa pictures floating around on the subject.

By the way, welcome to what we like to think of as the friendly Dodge site. ;D

First of all, welcome to the site, I am sure you will enjoy it.<br><br>Second, I used a tapped banjo on the bottom of the fuel filter canister to tap into the fuel line, I got the banjo bolt from Rod when I ordered my gauges.<br><br>Third, to get through the firewall I simply drilled a hole and surrounded it with a rubber gromit to protect the wires. <br><br><br>
