BTW, anyone who knows anything about Cummins knows that they (Dodge) really did not know what they were doing with the factory fuel system on this series truck. The newer trucks have a different LP (low pressure) pump system in the fuel tank as their warranty costs replacing the VP-44 in this model were very high. All it would have taken was a proper LP pump that really worked AND a gauge telling the driver what your fuel pressure was. Look, This might not be a bad idea on your end as well. Putting a fuel pressure in the system to keep an eye on things is good preventative maintenance. Your system is not as sensative as the ones on the 1998-2002 Cummins but still...

What does that entail? Again, I have no idea what the heck I am doing with one of these big ole diesel motors. Tell me about this special wrench for the injectors?

I made a wrench for my injectors lines. I just took a 3/4" offset box wrench, cut a notch in it. Works way better than a typical flare nut wrench.

1. Manual gauge 2. Electric gauge 3. Electronic system One is the old tube going from the engine to the gauge. Two is an electric sender doing the same. Three is something like an Edge controller that first tells you everything AND allows you to change the settings on the engine on the move. Just depends on what you want to do and how much $$ you have to spend. I have an Edge w/attitude that I bought used for $200. New cost is $800 or so. Joe
