what options do i have for a rail pressure gauge the only ones i can find anything on is the pricol optix and the quad rail pressure gauge. what is your opion on the 2

 

that's all you have to choose from at the moment. No one else makes them.

 

do they both work the same way by plugging into the rp sensor?

 

the Dipricol does and I would assume the Quad does also. Don't know though. I know several people here have it and will likely post in.

 

in my opinion I would stay away from the Quad gauge. We installed one on my friends truck and les than 48 hours later his rail pressure sensor took a dump on him

 

The Quad RP also plugs into the rail sensor. I would go with Quad since it doubles a fuel pressure gauge. The only problem was when the display went out, I called Quad and in three day I had a brand new one in the truck.

 

Stay away from Quad. Mine made the rail pressure crazy and truck ran like crap. Removed it and it is fine. I keep mine in just with the fuel pressure hooked up, but everytime I try to hook up the rp, everything goes crazy and truck runs poorly.

 

Forgot to mention this is the 2nd quad I have tried. First one the display went out the first week, second one gives me all these problems.

 

I have a Pricol and love it. The only problem with it is when I have been driving for more than 4-5hrs straight it will be gin to act up (not reading right either too high or too low), but if I shut the truck off and restart it work perfect again. Other than this, it works like a charm....

 

i know a couple guys that are working on a box to run with the autometer pressure gauges that will allow you to switch back and forth between rail and fuel pressure

 

The Bullydog Outlook also does rail pressure doesn't it?

As well as the Quadzilla commander?

 

SPA Technique also makes rail gauges.

Sounds like you're plugging it in backwards at the sensor. Not sure if you're aware but those plugs will go in backwards and appear to fit correctly.

I haven't had any problems with my Quad RP gauge...yet.

 

It is plugged right. It doesn't always run bad. You could be running down the road and it will start missing and have terrible timing rattle. You know to pull over and unplug it. I have tried di-electric grease and got no improvement.

 

Have you tried talking to Quad about it? I'm sure if somethings wrong they will take care of you.

 

Not with this second one. I just unplugged it and didn't worry about it. I probably will contact them this week. Don't get me wrong, I like what the quad does and it IS economical, but I am not sure when I got mine they had the bugs worked out. I ordered mine as soon as they came out.
