By now Iam sure everyone has heard of the recall on the fuel pressure guages. Well, today my favorite guy in the brown truck stops by and has a package from Autometer. The replacement for my "recalled" gauge. Now this is the reason to deal with a company that backs their chit up. The upgraded, fuel pressure gauge, sendind unit, electronic box and wires will be gratefully installed when time allows

Oh, I forgot. I have only had my set up since the new year.

 

Autometer should have sent it to you in the mail.

Gator,

I echo Mr. Soap's thoughts.. that's twice today...

Bob

 

OK here goes

I sent back my old setup on 5/24 and it arrived 6/11, so thats a total of 18 days....not to bad!

The unit I sent back was a 5709, an electric fuel pressure gauge and sender, it was replaced under the recall with a 5763 fuel pressure setup. Both where/are Phantom's.

The sender is a "much" more heavy duty unit. (Thats the only description I can come up with) The harness that looks like an O2, is what plugs/snaps into the sender and that wiring goes to the electronic box, the gauge wires also have a connection on the electronic box. There is also a spot on the box for the power and ground connection. All in all it a "professional" guage setup.

 

 

Hope these help out with your questions If not just ask

 

Fast gator
That picture gets my seal of APPROVAL.
