Rail Pressure gauge

**DMAXchris** · 11-23-2008, 08:53 AM

Can I use a rail pressure gauge for a Common Rail CTD since they have the same basic fuel system? Is the harness the same on the back of the pass. side rail? I want this guage real bad, but i dont want the PPE one. And Dipricols site only shows it for a Dodge in white face.

why do you want a rail pressure gauge? why not just scan with your ppe?

Its REAL hard to look down at a screen and do 100mph.

NO, the electronic calibrations are different.

Get a dedicated Dmax RP gauge

Does anyone make one besides the one from PPE?

I think there is a guage called Aeroforce scan guage that will do rail pressure.

Yes, Aeroforce Scan Gauges show railpressure, both desired and actual. They also moniter other parameters, much the same as you can moniter with EFI. I have the duel gauges in my truck and normally I read 2 parameters per gauge; IAT, Actual Rail Pressure, ECT and Turbo Vane Position (actual)

The newer models of these gauges can be set to cycle thru 8 different parameters, two at a time for a specified time frame.

Heres a link to where they can be bought, and they fit in any standard gauge pod, I'm using a Trippin in the overhead mount. I'll take pics later of mine

thanks for the link. The PPE gauge plugs into the fuel rail itself. I like analog. Easier to read and see.
