If you want it to keep water out of the air cleaner make sure you get the elbow... The airbox where the intake is attached to the duckbill is not sealed. There is a small hole right above the cabin air intake louvers. Details are in the install instructions for the fording kit.
Would you be so kind as to measure the voltage output on the three prongs of the round solar panel connector that goes to the push to test box? i.e. is one ground, one 12v and the other 24v and which is which...
Regarding no pressure, make sure the gauge works. Disconnect the wire for the gauge at the pressure sender at the back of the motor... the gauge will go max.

I started going through my 1993 2 door M998 I picked up last Monday.
First I pulled the 8 bolt 26 inch bias plys off and put some 24 bolt 37 inchers from Feltz Tire on because my girl likes her pretty shoes:
The light switch was missing, and apparently it had one of the push button switches...
