Seems slightly low. You should have ~6psi at idle. My lift pump is dieing and I get 6psi at idle, but it QUICKLY drops to 1-2psi, sometimes 0 
even under normal, stock-level fueling. I have a Glacier Diesel kit on the way....

I put a Fram 10 micron fuel filter pre-pump to catch the big pieces out of the tank and will be adding one of GDP water separator/2 micron fuel filter kits in the near future. Richard has top notch equipment for our fuel systems. Good luck.L8r,............dogger

Driving it this morning it finally dropped to 3psi for second and it wasn't at WOT. I would check the connections but it's raining and Texans don't fair to well in the rain, we're not used to it.

Ah but me is from BS Texas, it only rained down here because I moved down. The closest I am to Irish is part Scott. Anyone want to pay for the transplant, if the local dodge house doesn't like my truck?

Mine reads between 5-7 most of the time... sitting or driving.... If I get on it, it will drop to 4.

BTW - what's your boost read? Mine seems to be super low unless I'm crusing at like 70 on the freeway. Is it different between a manual and auto?
