I posted earlier about my pressure to my vp44 and miss quoted the pressure.I just went out and rechecked my guage. I guess I was in a haste and miss read my guage.Cranking I get : 10 psiIdle I get : 12 psiFull load I get: 7 psiI usually don't use my truck for anything except go to the store, or an ocasioanal hauling of manure or maybee some rocks for around the house.Mostly just very minor things in town.I want to get a guage with more span on it now the one i have is 0- 100 psi so it might even be a little better

The full load is the number that is a problem... Need to keep your numbers up above the 10 PSI range if possible... As for using 0-100 yeah it might get better with a in dash 0-30 PSI gauge...

all you need is a gauge up to 30 psi.
