Im in the market for a RP gauge and already have the triple pillar and really dont want to add another gauge pod. The quad gauge looks like something I want but I havent heard any good things about the gauge only negitive.

So how many members out there that have bought the quad rp gauge and had it work as advertised. Is it a bad batch or are they all junk.

I know there are better gauges on the market so dont tell me that brand X is better.

Thanks

 

Mine worked great for 6months...now i'm on my third fp sender....fp shows 0 psi 80% of the time....

RP portion works fine.

 

Hello,

Same results as jgiachino.

I already have a Autometer 0-30 electric FP gauge on my pillar so I will only be using the rail pressure display. So should I stll get it?

 

I've had mine for going on 6 months and still working fine. I mounted on the r. side of my stock gauges, see my pics.

 

Same as the above. My RP part works fine, but the FP part has never worked.

 

My RP has been dead for a few months.

 

I know it seems like a good deal, just dont do it. They got me and many others. You know of the problems, or you would not have started this thread. Yeah Quad will replace it but how many times and how accurate will it be? DiPricol or Isspro... enough said.

I would not recommend this product but i have been VERY happy with my DiPricol gauge. This is the unsealed weatherpack connector that came with my Quad rail pressure gauge. When i questioned this was told to just pack all the connections with Dielectric grease, it would be fine.

 

Dont get me started on dielectric grease You should have to have a license to purchase it. I get TONS of electrical issues at work from people blowing the stuff on all their electrical connectors.

Dielectric grease is a non-conductive grease. Because it is non-conductive it does not enhance the flow electrical current. Electrical conductors should not be coated with dielectric grease prior to being mated. However, dielectric grease is often applied to electrical connectors, particularly ones which contain rubber gaskets, as a way to provide a non-conductive lubricant and sealer for the rubber portions of the connector.The widest use of dielectric grease is in high-voltage connections associated with spark plugs. The grease is applied to the rubber boot of the plug wire. This helps the rubber boot slide onto the ceramic insulator of the plug. The grease also acts to seal the rubber boot, while at the same time preventing the rubber from becoming stuck to the ceramic. Generally spark plugs are in located in areas of high temperature, and the grease is formulated to withstand the temperature range expected.
Another common use of dielectric grease is on the rubber mating surfaces or gaskets of multi-pin electrical connectors used in automotive and marine engines. The grease again acts as a lubricant and a sealant on the non-conductive mating surfaces of the connector. It is not recommended to be applied to the actual electrical conductive contacts of the connector.

Chuck (from that thread above) is correct in that the dielectric grease doesn't MAKE a better contact, it helps KEEP a better contact.

The main problem with RP gauges is corrosion at the plug under the hood. By using dielectric grease you help prevent that corrosion. People who wash their engines seem to have more issues than those who don't.

I used dielectric grease on my Quad RP gauge and it's been working great for almost a year. I don't use the FP part though.

 

Good info, but keep it on the subject...

I had a small problem for a few days, but it was after I had unhooked the guage a few times. Nothing since.

 

I got mine from here about 15 months ago and like mine. No problems.

 

FP has worked intermittently since new. I do not trust it at all, I now have tranny temp displayed where FP used to be.

Is there a dependable fix for the FP and the commander?

 

Not a problem yet with the RP
