Ok I got my fuel pressure gauge and was wondering which wires to I tap into? And has anyone ever had problems ordering from diesel power products? I ordered auto enginuity, sinister coolant filter, fuel pressure gauge with a pillar 4 pod mount painted... Ordered 2/6/12 received the AE and coolant filter 2/13/12 but no gauge... They forgot to ship it! Sent out 2/13/12 received 2/15/12 gauge and a can of paint no a pillar! Forgot to ship again! I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble thru them?

 

I haven't personally used them no...

As for your power options, there's a bunch of different ways to do this. If you're mounting just the one gauge in the a-pillar, run a bunch of extra wire (maybe 10-12" extra) because you can piggyback EV2's, it's a really cool setup. You just keep "connecting" gauges all on the one wire. So they can share something like 3 wires. They can share the 12V, the ground, then the power for the lighting. For the lighting tap into the dimmer switch, so they'll dim up and down like your factory stuff.

For some detailed info on wiring, go to Diesel Performance at DieselManor, Inc. - Taking the Mystery out of Diesel Performance™ they specialize in gauge packages and have pictures/write-ups to wire almost any gauge into any diesel pickup. Pretty cool.

 

For my a-pillar and fuel pressure gauge installed today! Looks lonely all by it self! Was pretty easy... At idle it's at 55psi, medium throttle (2000 rpms) 50psi, and wot 45psi!!! So I think I need to do the blue spring? I just changed the fuel filters maybe 500mi ago.

 

Yup.

Ford P/N: 6E7Z-9C165-B

That's for just the spring and the o-ring, should be around $38 from Tousley.

 

Tousley web site was down Saturday so I had to order from partsguyed.com $68.00 for blue spring kit and brass **** for the drain.

 

Just a follow up... Installed the blue spring mod ( after dropping a Torx bit down the intake, don't ask...) fuel pressure at idle is 68, medium throttle crushing 65, and wot 60-65.

Now I'm trying to get my water drain plug out and it is a pita!!!
