thanks again for everything but just to be sure you don't think there's any reason to be worried with only a 16 psi reading at 2000 rpm along with this i notice the gauge at only 3 to 5 pounds when i'm on it hard

i know with mine my psi drops the higher i get into it, is your s 5sp or auto, 16 at 2000rpm is a bit risky, i think im at almost 30psi at 2000rpm, its been about a month since ive driven my truck though becasue of the rebuild

ya definatly post back up the nice thing about the p-7100 is that it is lubricated by engine oil rather than diesel like the vp-44 so if get runs low on diesel it wont kill the pump, ive ran mine completly dry about 8 times since ive owned it
