Lift pump sensor

[N2BRK]

In my last truck I had a separate gauge, but this go-round I'm planning to plumb to the Edge to show my LP pressure. I saw what edge offers; F.U. SIDEWAYS! $183 sensor and you still need their harness!

I have one universal input left on my CTS, so I'm going to wire to a cheaper 5v transducer, lol. Are there any reasonably priced transducers that you guys have used and found success for LP pressure monitoring? Glowshit is about 15mins away and they have a 5V 0-30 transducer in their replacement parts catalog. I'll go with them if nothing else is a better option.

Thanks in advance!

What about a cheap Amazon pressure sensor?

Like this one

Does the CTS have calibration options? How does one match the pressure to voltage?

I saw a lot of super cheap ones on Amazon. Mostly bad reviews or 1 review though.

Yes, but cheap enough to risk it. Not much to loose

I use these below to run to an Edge. You can either cut off their plug (Edge's) if you don't have a spare or find someone who does have a spare. These work great and you simply have to program your edge with the supplied voltage range.

Sounds hokey, and I did have to make a custom receiver bracket for it, but I used an old Ford fuel rail pressure sensor. I got it from a pick-and-pull junkyard for like $5. They're on virtually every Ford V8 made since 2000. Been working perfect since ~2016. I found the 0-5v scaling somewhere online.

I'd assume you could get one from any number of OEMs, but I was familiar with the Ford ones at the time, so that's what I went with. It'd be really easy to integrate if one used NPT threads (or similar), but I have no clue if anyone actually does.
