It just snaps back on the side of the bucket. Stock setup
So you didn't thread it into the fuel rails? I didn't know they had anything that could just snap in somewhere

Whoops! Sorry. I misread that. For some reason i thought you were talking about the fuel level sending unit.

The stock fuel pressure sensor is mounted on the fuel line in the stock location under the driver seat by the frame rail. My aftermarket fuel pressure gauge sensor is mounted at the shraeder valve on the fuel rail.

I talked to Speedhut yesterday and they have had some issues with the circuit board on my fuel pressure gauge. I’m sending it in for replacement which should solve my pressure differential issues.

yeah that's what I was referring to. Wasn't sure if you directly mounted the sensor on the rails or used a braided line to remote mount it

Well it’s been a while since I posted but I’m back!

The truck has more or less been sitting for the past year and a half. I had a long commute so I bought a beater to commute with but we are moving and my commute is over. I just put a bunch of time and money fixing things that have been neglected over the last couple years.

-Polished headlights
-new front end and brakes
-new bumper balance and air dam
-new grill
-new bed rail protectors
-CV43 22” Replicas
-305/40/22 NT420V
-Turbosmart eBoost Street - still need to mess with it

Haha I had a couple people slightly interested but nothing ever came to fruition. I wasn't a very motivated seller.

That thing would look sexy with a BBK hiding behind the front wheels 😉

dont blame you on the lack of sale. I hate dealing with low ballers and "buyers" myself. Glad you kept her

I was one that was interested, but stuff happened and didn’t pull the trigger. Now I wish I did! That thing looks sexy now! Lol
But I ended up paying double and buying a 2015 with a procharger. I still think about this one all the time, like a old girlfriend that got away haha

That looks sweet though! And much newer so you won’t have to worry about little things like you would on an older truck. I’m constantly buying little things to keep it looking like new.
