Heres the quick story...I must be missing something.
I installed a Fuel pressure gauge on my truck 2 Thursdays ago. Drove my truck home from work (about 8 miles), then back to work again in the morning with no problems. On my way home Friday night, started up a hill towards home and fuel pressure started to drop until truck would hardly run. Babied it home (after having to prime the fuel system several times with KOEO) Figured I needed a fuel pump so I ordered a Bosch from Strictly.
I just got the fuel pump in and I still have the same problem! Only builds 20-25 psi and truck will fire but then die. Fuel tank is about 1/4 full.
The guage that I installed is an ISSPRO EV2, and put the sender in the lower port on the rear of the stock fuel bowl (until I get an RR fuel system).
What is my problem? Tank restriction? That first Thursday driving was fine, truck was holding 60 psi or so until I would get about 3/4 -full throttle.
Everything mostly stock except for 238/100s. Just hope I didn't hurt the injectors with the low fuel pressure.
