I can't complain, it lasted 15 years... REALLY curious why they are so secretive with the sensor though... Had to jump through multiple hoops to order one.

Edge Performance Products is a PAIN to deal with... would NOT sell me a fuel pressure sensor without going through the whole trouble shooting process a 2nd TIME!!!!!! now I"m curious what is so special about this pressure sensor... @Tractorman I decided to go with their outrageously priced sensor because BOOST, EGT and Transmission temp were already running on my current configuration... Cost $120 after tax and shipping were added... I"m going to definitely check it out and see WHY I couldn't find a similar product for less...

so my statement albeit in the right intent was technically incorrect? So would I be safe just knowing my fuel pressure dropped below 10 psi? Typically my fuel pressure runs between 13 and 16 psi... with a working guage.

the over supply valve/over pressure valve or whatever you call it pops off at 14 psi... at 14 psi you get extra fuel flow to cool the pump.... at least that is what I've read and why my new VP44 came with a NEW OPValve... with specific instructions that it HAD to be installed or the pump would not be warrantied.

IF I can customize the pressure alert, I would be fine with an alert bulb... I want to know my lift pump drops below 14 psi... I'd still have to have some way to check the pressure when setting it.

SO...after 15 years, my fuel pressure sensor is dying. Called EDGE and they suggested a replacement sensor: 4000700 for $90. Not being able to 100% sure tell me it would work with the Attitude... Any suggestions on this? alternate sensors, alternate fuel pressure/EGT gauges? I am down to only using the Attitude to monitor these two things and would seriously consider changing to a 2 in one guage.... the JUICE module is apparently dead.

was this the Starlink outage I read about?

as always, I get freaked out if my truck is "down" and opted for the fastest (most reliable) fix. This is why I try to be proactive about maintenance instead of reactive.

1000 miles and NO LOST OIL... I think this topic is closed. A couple of links I found for correct turbos for a 2000 24v HX35W with the "wing" on the turbo housing. no core, chinesum but supposed good quality. $390 https://www.truckac.com/dodge-turbocharger-oem-turbo-1700320068.html?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=fb&utm_id=120207010913090181&utm_content=120213922289420181&utm_term=120207010913100181&utm_campaign=120207010913090181&fbclid=IwY2xjawMZNDpleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqxovZbPXtQEe4-BkbF14A70v86KClfdYzyVudYQspR3tVEZ5wWFmTrhu82kPNv4xM5eY3i4_aem_7W_UyEZCgOTq2vUq5yejGQ Where I got mine as a reman.... Thoroughbred beat others on pricing due to the core having to be returned... they shipped me a core return box. $546 https://www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/h8350108r/ Hope this thread helps someone.

Well there is a reason a new injector pump comes with a new over pressure valve. which I believe opens at 14psi... so in MY opinion maybe turn down your lift pump a bit... I have mine set to 15 or 16 psi. Not that I think this would affect the condition you described. But I have heard that 18+ makes for a hard start some times.

Sadly I have nothing to "work" it with... it is back to daily driver status... I may hook onto the trailer and go pickup some firewood but even that isn't "working" it like I KNOW the truck likes. :) and the NOT WET status inside and down stream from the turbo is what most perplexed me... I was expecting "wet" as well.

could the change in timing be WHY #5 blew through the cylinder? I just presumed the new injector pump was putting out way more pressure than the injector could handle.

how many miles were on your injectors before you replaced the VP44? HOW fast is your motor turning over? I know you sort of answered this but I mean like faster than it "should"?? When I replaced my VP44 my injectors had (to my knowledge) 433k miles on them.... New pump, old injectors and I blew a hole through #5, still ran, 1 code, melted IAC sensor (that is what the code was for). Cummins (read it in a post, so don't quote me) suggests replacing injectors every 200k.... I"ve been told on forums that it should be every 100k miles.... JUST A THOUGHT... if you lost two cylinders it might not start at all and be SUPER easy to turn over.

:) only 300 miles so not really put it to a test yet.... but I haven't noticed any more peppiness. But you have to remember, my turbo was creating boost... just sending oil along with it.... so I am seeing the same boost levels.... I don't expect much to change minus not consuming oil.

300 miles and oil holding steady, won't post again unless there is a drastic drop.
