rail gauge

I've been trying to track down one of the rail pressure gauges I've asked before but I'll be damned if I can find one. Any help would be great thanks

Doug is awsome, answered all my questions and then some. I would pm about price but I think I should let you contact Doug to see what he says. Prices may have changed since I bought mine. Email him you wont be disapointed.

Good question, I am new to 3rd gens and am just now seeing these rail pressure gauges.

Can someone post a ball park price on them?

Once you address the lift pump then the next weak link is the CP3 delivery to the rail. Most pressure and timing/duration stacks will drain the fuel rail or reduce the pressure enough to cause a loss in HP. So that is the next step is to be able to monitor that pressure after you address the LP and that pressure.

Check these out. They can do LP Pressure as well as Rail Pressure and your other gauges in one package. They are also not that much more than just the rail pressure gauge.

Well, if you have no mods and assuming your signature is correct, then you probably wouldn't need one. For myself, it's a valuable tool for trouble-shooting modifications, getting the most out of the modifications, and I wish I did have one when I did have injector problems last year so I didn't have to drive 4 hours to a decent dealer only to have some dealer-mechanic clown not know how to use a DRB3.

In a pinch you can hook up a digital voltmeter to the center wire on your rail pressure sensor and then read the voltages as you drive down the road. Then you can convert the voltages to a pressure reading with a bit of math.

Assuming you own a digital voltmeter already, then you're $0 out-of-pocket!

You better have an awfully fast voltmeter if you really want to read it. Most people do not understand how slow a voltmeter is!
