Installing Fuel pressure gauge
#11
Check with Vulcan...for their "big line kit".
Others might offer similar products ...so shop around if you want ...but I got mine from Vulcan.

But ...let me do a sanity check ....
You have a "Common Rail" system (CR) ...and don't have a VP pump....and I am unfamiliar with the details of the CR, so a Big Line kit might not fit your 05 truck.
I have read that the pre-VP systems (12V with P7100 pump) - the lift pump is engine block mounted/mechanically actuated, and the P7100 is 'bullet proof' and the P7100 won't be 'killed' if the lift pump dies.
I heard that the CR systems are similar in that a lift pump failure doesn't result in a very expensive repair ....while the 98.5 to 2002 24 Valve 2nd Generation Cummins - if the lift pump dies ....the VP can be damaged fairly quickly - and a nominal $200 - $400 repair of lift pump has added onto it a $1200 to $1800 lift pump replacement...so the people with VP systems need to be extra sensitive to lift pump pressure to the VP ....while the 12V and 3rd generation Cummins owners don't need to worry so much.
BUT - here is a link to the Big Line Kits ...

THanks vineyardm I did do some research, it took some time to find a good one with all thats out there.
These guys have one for the 98.5-07 Cummins for $45.
Cummins Performance Parts CPP Big Line Filter to Injection Pump Kit w/ fuel pressure access 98.5-07
I would never have though to upgrade this part but I want to run a fuel pressure gauge since I will be running WVO soon.
These guys have one for the 98.5-07 Cummins for $45.
