Installing a fuel pressure gauge in your diesel truck empowers you to monitor your fuel system and protect your engine, ultimately increasing your truck's longevity. It provides real-time visibility into the fuel system, allowing you to monitor the pressure level while driving. Fuel pressure fluctuations can indicate underlying issues in the fuel system. You can quickly identify irregularities or drops in pressure, helping you diagnose potential problems such as clogged filters, failing pumps, or leaks. Early detection allows for timely maintenance and prevents costly repairs down the line.
To make installation easy on Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins, select the checkbox for the Tapped Banjo Bolt. This specially designed bolt has a bigger hex that is drilled to accept 1/8 NPT male thread. On 98.5-02 trucks equipped with the Bosch VP44 injection pump and 03-07 equipped with the Bosch CP3 injection pump this bolt replaces the banjo bolt on the fuel supply line. On 07.5-12 6.7L trucks equipped with the Bosch CP3 you will use it to replace the banjo fitting at the back of the stock fuel filter housing. This special bolt makes installation so much easier.
When installing a mechanical fuel pressure gauge, it's best if you don't route high-pressure fuel into the inside of your truck. Instead, be sure to select the checkbox for the Auto Meter 5282 Fuel Pressure Gauge Isolator kit to avoid this potential disaster. The diesel fuel pressure gauge isolator ensures fuel can not enter the cab even if the tubing or gauge fails. This kit includes a brass isolator along with 4 feet of #4 braided stainless steel line. The stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion, leaks, and damage, ensuring a long lifespan and peace of mind. The braided design allows for flexibility without kinks for easy installation. These hoses are designed to withstand the toughest conditions.
