Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1081130 Low Fuel Pressure Light and Alarm Kit is a critical safeguard for 1998–2007 Dodge 5.9L 24-valve Cummins engines equipped with the VP44 injection pump. Low fuel pressure is one of the leading causes of VP44 failure, and without a warning system, damage can occur before the driver is aware of a problem.
This kit provides both audible and visual alerts when fuel pressure drops below a safe threshold, allowing the driver to react immediately before injection pump damage occurs. It is designed to work with aftermarket fuel pressure senders and is commonly installed alongside lift pump upgrades to provide complete fuel system protection.

FAQ
Why is low fuel pressure dangerous on VP44 trucks?
The VP44 injection pump relies on fuel for lubrication and cooling. Low pressure can quickly cause internal damage, leading to expensive pump failure.
Does this kit replace a fuel pressure gauge?
No. This kit provides warning alerts. Many owners run it alongside a fuel pressure gauge for full monitoring.
Is this kit required if I already have a lift pump?
Yes. Lift pumps can still fail or lose pressure under load. This alarm provides immediate warning if pressure drops unexpectedly.
