    Can anyone tell me what this gauge is for? And what numbers it should run? It's in a 2001 Freightliner classicXL with a 1994 N14 Cummins celectplus engine 525hp. I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything on it and what it should read.

    Air filter restriction gauge. Should read 0-5” of H2O under hard pulls and if it starts going over 20 the filters are starting to get pretty plugged up.

    Oh ok yeah under hard pulls it's been getting up to 8, the turbo usually gives between 23-27psi depending where my rpms are. Air filters were replaced in March got 74k on them. What's the usual life span of them in dual breather setup? I run kck to Oregon and back dedicated

    My 389 with a 600 x15 wont pull my restriction gauge over 1 and I have 237,xxx and two years on the factory installed filters. My 15” donaldsons I think are bigger then the filters on your classic, so if you’re pretty much just on the big road like me then you should get a year+ out of them.

    What type of line runs to it? It could also be a fuel filter restriction gauge.

    Fuel is normally in inches of Hg not H2O.
