I was just wondering with my TST what it will sound like then the rail runs dry im not farmilliar with the common rails. i have it on 5X5 and it seems like it runs good i turned up the rail pressure to 4 and it seems to run good.i just dont wanna hurt anything internal by running it dry. Also i didnt notice to much smoke when i got on it. is it normal for the tst not to smoke to much

When it is doing it bad it almost sounds like a jake brake going off under the hood on the drivers side.

does that model TST have a built in rail gauge?

you can partially drain the rail losing power and never hear the noises.
