Quadzilla Recon Rail Pressure Gauge

I am looking at this product, from Quadzilla.

It is basically a rail pressure gauge, but can be made to also read the fuel pressure, correct?

I already have the Quad Commander, which can read the fuel pressure with the optional FPkit. I did not buy the fuel pressure kit for the Commander, hoping that it will be released soon.

Any ideas or suggestions on what to do?

Buy the Recon to monitor the rail pressure and later buy the FP kit for the Commander?

"The new rail pressure gauge from Quadzilla is by far the most accurate Rail pressure gauge on the market for your Dodge common rail. This awesome product was designed with all customers in mind. Whether you are making 900 horsepower and need to make sure that you are getting the fuel that you need or if you are the guy that is pulling his travel trailer and just want to know that things are running their best, this gauge is for you. Not only does it read rail pressure, but you can also purchase the optional fuel pressure kit and read fuel pressure between the tank and your injection pump."

Reads rail pressure up to 27,500 psi
Most accurate rail pressure gauge on the market
Maximum and minimum rail pressure recall
Easy installation
No wire splicing or tapping required
Capable of reading fuel pressure from 0-40 psi
Uses a 7 segment 4 digit LED screen w/ adjustable backlight
Can be used to help diagnose power loss due to inadequate fuel supply


Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?

My Quad gauge went out after a month. Check my thread. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone now, especially hearing of ppl having these problems over 4 times!. I will be going witht the SPA or DiPricol RP gauge. FP wise, I have an Isspro.

I had 4 of them. Quad took care of it each time though with a new one. I'd say he came close to paying for another one in shipping costs too.

I'm not putting the one I have back on. Also when I removed the harness from the rail pressure sensor it smoothed my idle out, enough so that my girlfriend, who normally doesn't notice these sorts of things, commented on it.

I now have a Westach fuel pressure gauge and will not worry about rail pressure for the time being.

I guess my dad and I have been lucky. I haven't had any problems with mine and the only problem my dad has had was the light being too dim and they replaced it under warr.
