Default Fuel pressure question(Like every other 2nd gen)

I just put a edge juice with attitude on my 99 cummins. The fuel pressure is 10psi at idle on any setting. I cant get into it very much at all cause the pressure drops to much. I dont want to be putting an injector pump in it very soon. Could a fuel filter cause this? I no this is low and it probably should get under 10psi at WOT. But how accurate is the guage that the juice has? Should I get another guage to check? Thanks for any help.

If you dont have an aftermarket fuel pump, get one. I use the AirDog 150, but there others out there. dont trust those Dodge Lift Pumps

yeah i know there junk. does anyone know how reliable the juice with attitude fuel pressure sensor is? And I am going to get an airdog but should i get the 100 or 150? I might put 120 or 150 horse injectors someday so which one would be good?

I wouldnt trust the electric guage. You can double check it with a mechanical one. It might not be a bad idea to put a mechanical guage in anyway.

Go for the Airdog 150 - its the same price so you may as well. Plus, it gives you room to grow in case you ever want to get crazy.

Have you ever seen or heard of the MITUSA pump? Its all mechanical.

You have to e-mail opie on this site, he a is a sponsor for the MITUSA and he will give you a quote and what you need. I wish I would have went to the mech. pump.

The AirDog and FASS units have a lifetime warranty.

the electric guage on the J/A is accurate, well mine is at least. I test it against a mechanical one every month or so (too lazy/broke to get mechanical ones then I got deployed). If you still have the stock lift pump you NEEEEEED to get a new one. It will not meet the demands of the injector pump and you will need to replace both! Don't get cheap on it. Chalk that one up to lesson learned
