EP,
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...
