	*A '''fuel pressure gauge''' is a good idea for the 2nd generation 24 valve equipped trucks. An inherent problem of low fuel pressure has made it important to have a gauge in order to monitor the fluctuations before a complete failure. Average fuel pressure at idle is 15 psi. The average fuel pressure for cruising is 12 psi and at wide open throttle [WOT] it should never drop below 8 psi on a factory lift pump that is functioning normally. Daimler/Chrysler says if the pressure falls below 10 psi, the lift pump is faulty.		*A '''fuel pressure gauge''' is a good idea for the 2nd generation 24 valve equipped trucks.

 *An '''automatic transmission temperature gauge''' is a great addition where applicable. The fluid line pressure is low to begin with on the Dodge Ram, so adding power and a load can stress and heat the tranamission fast. This gauge can save you the cost of a transmission if you are out of warranty.
