Hey, They do a viscosity test so I would think so. Plus they check for the additive in the oil and if that gets too low it the oil is "worn out"! Later, Winslow

Hey, I tried that and so far so good!!! I hope it stays that way. I wonder why it started acting up... I'm thinking that orifice hole enlarged itself!! Thanks, Winslow

Hey, Autometer doesn't make a 0-30 psi gauge unless you go electric for $200+!!!!!:banghead: I've never tightened it down, it normally just runs 1 turn open as I have the restricter fitting in there; But thanks for the info!!!! I tighten the needle valve down a little more and on my way just class the second time it isn't shaking at all. I'll see if it stays that way!!!!! Thanks, Winslow

Hey, Oh I figured it was the same thing!!!! Mine has a small orifice hole in it. It has worked for about 5- 6 months, but I'm kinda wondering if maybe the hole has worn out and is allowing too much fuel to hit the gauge?!?!?!?! This morning it didn't shake around like it was doing. Of course I played with the needle valve a little yesterday, closing it, then cracking it open. I'll see how it does and if it starts shaking I'll take a video of it. I might even pull the needle valve and restrictor off and have a look see!

Thanks, Winslow

Hey, That's basicly the same fitting just with female threads! I'll see what the gauge does this morning on my drive to school. I might take my camera with me and shoot a little video for you guys! Thanks, Winslow

Hey, I might try that. Wouldn't hurt anything except for a little time and trouble!! Thanks, Winslow

Hey, No power needed as it is a full mechanical gauge. I figured they just died too, but this one has got my confused. Thanks, Winslow ---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ---------- Hey, Here is the gauge I have: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-4312/ Thanks, Winslow

Hey, Do some reading and let me know what you find out!! Also I should add that I normally just run the needle valve 1 turn open and let the restrictor fitting so its job. I just got thinking... wonder if it could have worn open and allow more fuel in... but it still shakes some when the needle valve is just cracked open. Maybe I'll play around with when I get a chance. Thanks, Winslow

Hey, This is the fitting: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-3277/ The needle valve is tight. Meaning it isn't turning b/c it take quite a finger hold to move it. I was wondering if you think it is possible for the gauge to go bad from the previous life?? Thanks, Winslow

Hey, Well it's not loosening up b/c it is tight. And I've got an Autometer reducer which is an -4 AN fitting with a small hole in the middle. Pretty simple there. Is it possible for the gauge to get loose and start shaking?? Thanks, Winslow

Hey, Me too!!! I love mine, all that gets oil on it now is the front drive-shaft! Which is better than the radiator!!! Later, Winslow

Hey,Before anyone ask I have a needle valve and a Autometer fuel pressure reducer which is a fitting with a small hole in the middle. That setup has worked fine for several months and was working fine after I installed the VP and injectors for about two months.Recently I noticed the fuel pressure gauge start shaking around and dropping down on pressure, a few PSI at most. I changed the fuel filter yesterday and that seemed to fix it for a few miles (5), but today after I down 2-3 miles down the road it started it again!!!!:thud:I played with the needle valve and it seemed when I closed it down more the shaking settled, however, it is still there and I bet as soon as I take it back on the road it will start again. And it's a pretty bad shaking, even worst than when I didn't have the needle valve and reducer!!:ahhh:I've looked and don't see any fuel leaks, the truck runs/ starts fine and the milage has been doing fine. I'm at a lose of what to do????? :shrug:I don't know how old the Autometer Ultra-Lite gauge is as it was in the truck when I bought it. It was shaking from water hammer when I got it, but after installing the valve and reducer that was a non-issue.Any ideas????:shrug:Thanks,Winslow

Hey, I gotcha! Dealing with Peter was flawless! His DVD didn't work too well so he sent me a new one right away!! Later, Winslow

Hey, Yep pretty much. It's rarer in the later years, but can still be there!:banghead: Later, Winslow

Hey,Well isn't just about every diesel muffler straight through???:shrug:Thanks,Winslow

Hey, Anytime sir!!! I've got several write-ups on various things if you need anything!! Later, Winslow

Hey,Thought I would edit my previous post. My Autometer goes to 1600* and I've never been close!!!:thumb1:Later,Winslow

Hey, You're insane man!!! You need to get your head checked out!!!!!!! Later, Winslow

Hey, Both. One bolt is up top, the other is on the bottom. The bracket bolt is on top too and so are the lines! There is a little oil feed line between the pump and block that is a little bit of a pain!! Here is a link for you: http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/220656-vp-44-150-hp-injectors-psc-power-steering-pump-install.html Scroll threw it and I show what needs to be done!!! Later, Winslow

Hey, I would defiantly go with the pyrometer too!!! I would think 1500* would be plenty!! Mine goes up to 2000+, but that's b/c they were already in the truck!! Later, Winslow

Hey, Really??? I was thinking the MBRP/ Silverline were more money??? Later, Winslow

Hey, How about just getting a RSD (Rolling Smoke Diesel) exhaust kit??? Wouldn't be a lot more and you would get a little gain from the larger pipe! Later, Winslow

Hey, Yeah I would never try to remove just the power steering pump! A man would have to be insane, plus have a bigger risk of a leak!! Later, Winslow

Hey,Cool deal Mike!!!!!:thumb1:Later,Winslow

Hey,What ever you do, make sure you run needle valve on the fuel pressure gauge!!I've heard good things about those gauges so they should be fine!! My Autometers works good too!!:thumb1:Later,Winslow
