I wish I had the AE one day


I use scangauge II
www.scangauge.com
click here^^^^

it does quite abite best deal for the money
ICP,IPR,FICM,BOOST,VGT,and a ton more
it does not do fuel pressure,but most everything eles


Its best to get some kinda gauges they will pay for themself in the long run,just by knowing good from bad parts
Its a good feeling knowing where your truck stands

what kinda fuel filters did you use

what kinda fuel filter some off brands lose 10psi
Its getting close to injector damage at 48 I would put in the blue fuel pressure spring
and it may even drop more pulling a trailer

IIRC 45psi is the minumum
