I never had an issue with my fuel gauge. How bad does it jump around? Sometimes replacement sending units will constantly change the gauge level in the dash. Just a bad design. They call them floating sending units. The level changes sitting on a hill or while driving. It sucks.

no, LOL I am talking about the GlowShift Fuel Pressure Gauge I seen in your pic. I have complained to GlowShift about it, they sent me a different wire harness, that worked for a while but it started again. but it would be nice to have the GlowShift working. think I need to get a better gauge. I use a machanical test gauge under the hood. I had just checked it the day my fuel pump died. I called raptor and they did send A new pump..

Oh. Sorry. I misunderstood you. I don't have a fuel psi gauge. Mine are EGT and Boost gauges. I need to get one. Just don't have much extra cash laying around right now.

I did keep having issues with my EGT gauge. It was goes all haywire about every 6 to 7 months. I just call Glowshift and they send me a new one. They are nice gauges but do have issues.

they send you a new gauge?? they don't fight me but they are not willing to replace the gauge. Maybe I should give them a holler, I don't think there is anything more I can do but change the gauge. I have mine taped in at the VP supply. thinking I should tap the line before the filter or just after the filter.

I would keep the tap where you have it. Don't put it before the filter. For some crazy reason whether the filter collapses or freezes up in the winter. Your gauge will show a good reading but you won't have pressure at the VP where you need it. And I was having the sensor replaced for my EGT gauge. Not the gauge itself.

Many may disagree, but if you're looking for something mild, that will give you a Dyno proven & noticeable power increase, and not make your truck dump out smoke, give you the ability to correct speedometer & check for codes, the Hypertech Max Energry programmers are a great bang for the buck! and you won't have to run any lines of any sort

JoeyMiR is right. The Max Energy is a great programmer. I ran it also when I first got my truck. But I didn't like the fact that every time I wanted to change my settings it took at least 6 - 8 minutes to complete it. You have to wait for the old settings to be erased then the new ones loaded. I like with the EZ that I can have it on #2 then when I want to hammer down hard on the highway I just flip the toggle switch I have on my dash to #3 and away I go. Fuel mileage setting to full power is a quarter second. Its good for when those hondas like to race with their weedwacker mufflers.

Been gone a on a bus trip, I will look in to the Max Energy programmer. I am not looking to race any Honda's. LOL, but I am liking the EZ.
