I didn't want to do that, because I don't want to suck air when fuel sloshes. So i built this system that uses the stock pickup location. To answer your question, yes I have a fuel pressure gauge.
exactly why I did the DS-V liberty module...eliminate slosh issues and 1/4 tank issues..

since you have the FP gauge, have you tested to see how low you can get the tank before pressure bounces?

throw a diesel can in the bed full of fuel, and take a wrench with you and run just the 4 gallons in there...thats a good test to see if she's workin good

least ya didn't sump it like I see a bunch of these other fools doing...I would never sump a tank...

I finally got around to getting my winter wheels on her. I foresee more, lot's more wheel polishing on the other one's. Picked up new Mopar cap & rotor, don't know who the new parts guy was but damn expensive, not the normal price for me.

Merc I like the all blacked out look. The $55000 truck doesn't even have a cummins? Why on earth is it $55000?

Jig i drove 20 miles with no hiccups at all before I put fuel in it.

Thinking about "upgrading" merc?

I'm so paranoid I could never have a vehicle that was GPS trackable. And all the things that make the new trucks so damn complicated...

$55,000 in the right neighborhood could get you a really nice house.

Edit:

Drove the Ram in the snow and ice today. Had around 900lbs of wood in the bed, I'll admit I was a little nervous about having to drive down the highway with it (US 58, non interstate, 55mph) don't wanna burn the transmission up, ran with OD Off, of course.

But the Ram did great. Get to take the wood out tomorrow It's some heavy wood, each piece weighs close to or more than 100lbs... It was a pain to get it in the bed.
