IVR is combined with the fuel gauge. It would have been nice if they were separate.

I put one of the RTE limiters in our car about a month ago. It is the best option I have seen and works perfectly. The gauges are right on, come up faster than ever and it should not destroy the gauges if it ever goes bad or has a loose connection.

I was using a 5v. regulator that I put together. It worked but the gauges were slow and read low by at least 10%. I was going to use a lm317 adjustable regulator until I found out about the RTE regulator. It is a no hassle, 100% solution.

RTE E Body Limiter
IVR3 Style Mopar part#2209216
Cost $50

RTE ABlimiter
IVR4 style mopar Part #2258413

The cost seems a little bit steep for my pocket...

Quality engineering and manufacture costs money...more so at low volumes. How many times would you like to disassemble the instrument cluster? :shock: I like the safeguards the RTE limiter has against gauge cooking (burnout).

I think standard still sells the original style plug in regulator that could be adapted to an older car, but even they cost over $30.00. Who knows how good they are? I never liked knowing that one day my gauges could fry without warning. You would still have that risk. This sort of thing especially concerns me with a car that is not driven often.

I would bite the bullet and buy quality. I have regretted "saving" money, but never regretted spending a little more for something worth having.

What can you buy for a new car that costs $50? Not much...
