Hi, I'm Wade from Thoroughbred Diesel, and today we're going to show you how to monitor
your lift pump pressure with your Edge device and your EAS system.
Monitoring lift pump pressures on your truck is a critical thing. So we have a lot of customers
that will call us that have the Edge system in their truck, and by Edge system, I'm talking
an Insight or a Juice with Attitude or a Evolution, and the new style CTS and CS monitors have
a system to where if you already have the expandable ready system inside of the truck,
you can add several other sensors to that system to monitor other parameters. So we
have that in this truck here. This truck has a EGT probe on it, so it is expandable ready.
Make sure that you read the instructions with your Edge product that you have to make sure
that you have an expandable ready system to add another sensor.
But we have that with this truck today. If you have it, that's what we're going to talk
to you about. So we want to monitor lift pump pressure on this truck. Now this is going
to work whether you have your stock lift pumper or an aftermarket lift pump. It just so happens
this truck has an aftermarket lift pump on it. So tying in for the fuel pressure sensor
on this is going to be simple, and we're going to show you a way to do that to make it easier
for you to do so. This is an easy install, and it's a critical thing for you to watch.
I feel like everybody now is watching, in the common rails, they're so critical about
watching rail pressure, but monitoring your lift pump pressure is important, as well,
into the entire scope of what you're trying to figure out with your truck, if you're trying
to diagnose something or working through some performance issues.
So let's go ahead and get started with that. Now let's talk just a little bit about what
you're going to need. So we have a lot of questions about this. With the pressure sensors
that are offered from Edge, and I hope I grabbed the right box first, and I did not. This is
part number 98607. This is the pressure sensor zero to 100 PSI. This will monitor. Now, this
sensor is a wet or a dry sensor, so if you want to add another boost pressure sensor,
this is going to be the kit for you for a dry application. If you're wanting to pick
up lift pump pressure like we're going to do today, this is going to work, as well.
Wet or dry, works for you.
Now when you buy the 98607... I'm sorry. Yeah, 98607, which is the pressure sensor, you can't
just buy that sensor. You have to have the five volt reference ready kit. So this is
part number 98605, and what this allows you to do, is this is going to allow you to tie
in the pressure sensor electronically into our daisy chain EAS system so it can be read
by or Insight or Evolution or Juice monitor inside the cab of the truck. So just remember,
when you buy the pressure sensor, you can't just buy the pressure sensor by itself. You've
got to buy the 98605 kit, as well, which gets you a five volt reference input kit, as well.
This is also another critical piece if you want to do any other expansions. This will
let you have two more five volt sensor drops in this, so you can add another pressure sensor
or any other type of pressure sensor, as long as it's on a five volt reference.
So, now that all that's out of the way, let's go ahead and get started with our installation.
All right, let's talk about the setup here. We want to pull this out on the bench so you
could just kind of concentrate on seeing what we've got. So we're going to show you what's
in the universal sensor input five volt kit here. So what you're going to get in this
kit is you're going to get your drop that will accept two five volt reference sensor
inputs. So this could be a couple of pressure sensors or whatever, as long as it's five
volt reference again, but you've got a drop. It will accept two of them. All right.
Also inside the kit, you're going to get wiring drops. This can be used for the sensor inputs
as long as it's, again, a five volt reference. So if you've got to wire in your own sensor,
you can do that with these. They include two of them inside the kit. You're going to get
an instruction booklet that's going to talk to you about the different five volt sensors,
how you wire them up, what the polarities are going to be of that, so on and so forth.
So that's going to be a really, really nice thing or very helpful for you is that instruction
manual on this. So there's the drop for this. So I'm going to leave this out because I'm
going to need this side of it.
Now, want to talk just a little bit about the sensor and bring another product into
this that we offer. This is a fuel pressure T from AirDog. And what this is is this is
just a simple little fitting. It's pushed to lock on both ends, half inch, so all your
fast delivery lines are half inch, and your AirDog delivery lines are half inch, but this
is half inch delivery line. And what we can do, what we'll do there is we'll just cut
that and splice this in. It has a one eighth by 27 NPT port in it for your fuel pressure
sensors.
Now, in the kit for the fuel pressure sensor, the 98607, you are going to get a pre-wired
wiring harness. This has the electrical connectors that we need on it and the drop for the universal
input, so we don't have to cut and splice anything. This is ready to go. And then you
actually have your pressure sensor that is going to come with this from Edge. Again,
this is a wet or a dry sensor. Either one. You're good to go here on this. So all right,
this is one eighth by 27 NPT threads here. So what we will do, or this is an NPT thread
again.
What we'll do is we'll just go ahead and screw this into our splice and have it ready. I'll
put a little bit of pipe tape on this just to make sure it's clean, make sure it doesn't
get around the end of this and doesn't clog the sensor up, but you'll want to install
this sensor, and you'll want to tighten this down snugly. So we're going to take this over
the bench. We're going to go ahead and do that, so we'll have this ready for our installation.
Just wanted to show you what is coming with these products and how you hook this up. So
you will have your sensor input from the Edge will go directly into the sensor here. And
then of course this end, two out of five volt drop.
All right, so we're going to show you, in this instance, installing this fuel pressure
sensor. Now this is a aftermarket fuel system again, AirDog system. So half inch fuel lines,
we're using this fuel pressure [inaudible 00:07:21] from AirDog, but this is one eighth
by 27 NPT sizing for this sensor, so you can install this wherever you choose to fabricate
your own thing. We offer banjo bolts that have one eighth by 27 NPT recess threads in
them for you to install a fuel pressure sensor. A lot of different ways to do this. It's not
always the same, but for you guys to have it fast, for an AirDog, all you have to do
is get your supply line going to like this raptor is going to your fuel pressure canister
or to your injection pump if that'd be the case.
So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to cut this a little bit close to the fitting
because I want to have a little bit easier access to the fitting itself. So we're just
going to go ahead and install this fuel pressure T here, and we'll run this up in lines of
course, have some grease there on hand to make this a little bit easier on it. And then
I'll go ahead and install it on the other end of the line. We'll cut back into it when
we put it reinstalling this in the engine compartment.
All right. One thing that I had failed to mention there is most of your aftermarket
fuel systems, AirDog [inaudible 00:08:39], whatnot, have a one eighth by 27 NPT port
on the system themselves. Now if it's a pump with filter, it'll have a port for your fuel
pressure sensor. So note that this sensor will screw directly into that, but if you
have a raptor or an adjustable pump and just the lines, then you'll need this little T
that we worked with. So nothing special right here. What we're going to be doing is I'm
just going to run this down to the fuel pressure sensor itself and hook it in. So I'll take
out a little bit of length in my wire, and then I'll tie the other end back up so I don't
lose it. Now I'll just be taking this down to the sensor itself. Okay. And then you're
going to want your wiring to route back towards your expansion system.
Next step is to hook our drop up to our fuel pressure sensor. What I've done is I've cleaned
that up just a little bit, and we're going to go ahead and plug it into the connection
here for the drop. So it clicks. Now you find your Edge expandable system, and you want
to take your dust cap off of the end. It's not being used, but keep your dust cap because
you're going to re-insert that. And we are going to turn this correctly in the system.
Turn your locking collar until it accepts the next step. Then there you go. Then put
your dust cap back on the other end and then lock that down, and there you go. So now we
have our system. We have our fuel pressure sensor plugged in. We should be ready to go.
Let's go in here and fire it up on the Edge.
All right. Once you have your EAS sensor installed here, we're going to show you how to set it
up on your Edge product, inside Evolution. Juice with Attitude CS CTS screen. So on the
CTS, as you just touch the gauge where you want it to come up and hit "Select New PID."
And what you will go to is, I put this on Sensor A, so I'm going to touch "Universal
Sensor A." And then at this point, if you go back out to the home screen, and I'll show
you this, it's going to come up, and it's going to show zero. All right. So you need
to configure this. So go back to "Select New PID," and we can hit "Universal Input A" again,
just like that. And now what we can do is hit "Configure EAS," and we can select "EAS
Type" right here. And this is a zero to 100 PSI sensor right here. The device will reboot,
come back up. This is an Evolution. We haven't tuned this truck yet with it. So it might
take just a second here. So through the magic of video, Jim can fast forward us through.
All right, so now you see we have it up in PSI now. So 13.3 PSI lift pump pressure. Everything
working just fine there.
So we can rename this gauge now. And that's what we'll do. We'll go to "Select New PID"
because I've got this here. Actually, you know what? I thought it would let me... Yeah,
it will. Do "Configure EAS." I want to rename this gauge. Apologize. We'll just call it
"Lift pump." Lift pump and PSI. So we'll play around with that and get it right. But that
is how you install a pressure gauge on your Edge EAS system. So easy install. Just make
sure that when you get this, you understand that you buy the pressure gauge, and then
you have to get the five volt reference or the five volt universal input drop. So if
you have a question about this installation or any other Edge products, give us call.
