what fuel pressure???
Hi all,
I'm ready to order my final gauge. it'll be a fuel pressure gauge, electric...
but I'm not sure which pressure range to get. it comes in two.
0-30 psi and 0-100 psi
my 99 7.3 is stock except for an edge evo programmer set at 80 hp and the air filter box mod with a much larger air filter.
my other gauges are tranny temp, pyro and boost.
I was also wondering just how well my torque converter and tranny will hold up. it's a daily driver, very light towing may 5-6 k lbs.
thanks guys

You should get 0-100 psi.. your fuel pressure should be around 65 lbs..
As far as your TC and trans.. make sure you keep the temps under 200 and change the fluid every 30K or so.. One thing I have noticed on temps, city driving with a load really cranks up the temps..

so a 0-100 psi, got it
thanks for the reply, I have a large tranny cooler, around town or on the hiway my tranny temp never gets above 200.
I towed a 24' boat on the hiway and thru town, my tranny only got to about 205. of course it's only been in the mid 60's here, I'm sure when it gets hot the temps might go up a bit.
next question, does a so called power elbo actually help? or is it a waste of money, I'm guessing it's the same as a larger downpipe. I would think a 4" downpipe and exhaust would be good.
