i have a cummins/alison trans combination in my ford f-650 motorhome..225 hp..a super c class
the last trip i had the oil gauge in the dash go on and off the whole trip..oil is up on the stick...engine goes into safe mode when the stop engine light comes on...i priced a oil sending unit at dodge for almost 400$..i thought that was a little excessive...when i get settled a little bit ill go to an aftermarket store where i can a much better deal..

any other suggestions?
thx in advance

 

can you bypass this and just put a manual gauge in to watch it yourself? Seems like a pricey piece that can leave you stranded.

 

ya that was one of my thoughts on the way home..i sent a company an email for a set of gauges for everything oil,fuel presure,pyrometer, and trans temp..they never got back to me..probubly cause of the unusual combination...i dont mind i have to go to dodge for an oil filter and chevy for a trans filter.....

any sugestions who i should contact for gauges?

 

Pics of this unit would be awsome... Sounds like one cool set up

 

I would suggest talking with one of our sponsors for guages. You can request price quotes here:

Price Quote - Request A Price - Diesel Bombers

Youll probably need all electric guages due to the distance between the driver and the engine.


As for parts and such - steer clear of Dodge Dealers - try Cummins/Freightliner/ or even Case tractor or other medium truck parts houses. They should have parts for MUCH better prices than Dodge. Agian, a number of our sponsors should be able to hook you up with these parts as well.

 

thanks for the replys!

 

what size cummins is it? sounds like you have an oil sending unit going bad there pretty common in the bigger cummins motors also in the detroit's have a shop (or truck stop shop ) check them out you should have 2 of them usally on the driver side

 

If you get those gauges, and want to VERY cheaply fool the original one, use a resistor. If you can get the specs on the sensor, or measure it when it is reading, find the right resistance, buy a pack of $2 resistors and be done. I've had to do this for diagnostic testing on heavy equipment, works very well.

 

its a 5.9 cummins and yes i see them both under the ecm on the side of the motor..not drivin it as im home now and also i cant afford to drop 1000 bucks right now...thx for the info on the resistor idea...i heard that elswhere too...i just have to prep my mechanic for it and try to get this all done in one day cause im living in it...tsomebody quoted me on all the gauges for

i thought this was quite reasonable for stuff made in the usa..im gonna get them all..

 

Isspro guages are not made in the USA - at least the EV 1's were made in India. You need to step up to Autometer if you want something US made. Ive had my Isspros for many years - never missed a beat.

100 psi definitely is the wrong range for fuel pressure. You want 0-30 psi (max).

If cost is a concern get them to quote you for Issprio EV 1 guages. They are cheaper. You should be able to do a ful pressure guage for $50 (but thats running fuel into the cab).
