Hi from New Zealand

Posted

Hi, my name is Doug and I am based in Tauranga, New Zealand.  I have a 1990, 12 valve 250 hp 6BTA in my boat in New Zealand and a 24 valve in my 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 based in Kansas City that hauls a 34ft 5th wheel.  After finding out about the VP44 issues on this site, in 2019 I fitted a Raptor pump to the Dodge, my truck came from the factory with a tow package and as far as I can tell the original owner Charles from Illinois who I bought the truck from ticked just about every factory option that was offered at that time including a gauge cluster that is mounted on the pillar, the gauges are great but the fuel pressure gauge only goes up to 15 psi, what I would like instead is the gauge depicted in the mopar1973man forum titled "Fuel Pressure Specification For Bosch VP44 Injection Pump", this is 0 to 30 psi and the graduations and labels are in green, yellow and red making it in my view the perfect gauge for this application, I looked in the store on this site but couldn't find it, can anyone please help me with a source ? Thanks and regards Doug.

    Mate thanks but I cant see "choose files", maybe because I am an "Expired Member" (which sounds like that could be painful or disappointing!) I don't have access to that option ?

    That might be the issue. Not sure
