That’s a sweet little gauge!
fuel pressure idolater kit that's a diaphragm to keep fluid out of cab . then hose to gauge . https://www.autometer.com/high-pressure-isolator-300-psi.html
boost is just the hose to gauge .

What did that dual gauge originally come in? Is it meant to measure boostans fuel pressure?
med duty trucks with air brakes . supply/tank pressure and service pressure if i recall correctly .
Just air only in its original intention but I dont plan on 150 psi lol
I have to learn how this works and then I have to learn how to make it read what I want. I think I want it to max out at 60 psi for both needles.

Looks like a 60.... fresh backed out. Cut short today, finish up on Saturday morning. Got to torque the ubolts and misc tidy up. Try to get an alignment soon.
I switched to 2.5" springs and a zero rate moved 1" forward. Ride is better. It has an ass load of caster now since I changed springs. Too much. I'll see what the laser alignment says. Pretty stoked.

Alignment will show how square you got it also . Be fun to see how close it got built .
Lol yeah. I'll keep those numbers to myself!

Badass
That gauge is a dual bourdon tube gauge. Air pressure tries to straighten the brass bellows out, which has a gear connected to the needle indicating pressure.
a lot of diff meat around that cover.
looks clean, nicely done.

Interesting, same type you see in pipeline and refinery stuff.
Never thought about the variations in application
@obijuank5 are those some of the new aftermarket Spicer knobs? If so, first impression - how do they fit / work?
i didn't think you could make a BEEFY cover look small ......... but good job !
Yeah they are the prototype I guess. They fit very well. Couple thousandths here and there on the drawing and off to stainless.
So I got it aligned and I got the two C's a degree and a half different. 8.5 on right and 7 on the left. Eesh. If I knew what I know now I would have put tons of caster in the knuckles and rotated the diff housing up more. I also wish I had more precise measuring tools.
Camber: left is -.4° and right is -.1°.
Spec is +/- .8°
Overall it drives really well but I do want to bring the pinion up a little. The spring pads are leaned back and I'd like it to be flat. Again, I should have done that differently.
Hoping 4 degrees drives ok lol

if it dont pull or wear tires then
Putting some miles on it. Drove it to a place I'm working at today. Had to stop and say daaaaaaaaaamn.
