I have asked questions on here before, but now as I have some money saved up I am ready to spend a little on my truck and have a question to ask, that will most likely lead to 100 other questions. To start off with, I have a 2001 24 valve that just hit 194000 miles. I bought the truck completely stock performance wise other than an edge comp box, and have done nothing to it since. The only issues with the truck that I know of is the transmission pan seems to have a leak, which I believe I can easily fix by replacing the gasket, and I have a broken sway at bushing, but I have asked about this before and some people on here have said that they completely removed their sway bar and have no issues and as I have been driving the truck for a few months with a broken bushing I am not very concerned about it, unless you guys think I should be. So enough with all the back ground, my main thing is: I’m tired of running these stock wheels, I want something a little different. I was think about going with 20x12 and possibly 305 50 tires. What I don’t want to do is anything to the truck. Is this an ok move or do you guys believe this is a completely stupid move to put these wheels and tires on my truck with 0 modifications to the truck and stock suspension and steering. I don’t want to do something that will ruin my truck but would also love to put these on my truck. If there is something that needs to be done in order to put these on my truck, what would you guys recommend doing first?

Thank you in advance, and recommendations and comments are much appreciated, and please keep in mind I have no experience with any sort of mechanics so this is all a learning experience, so if you do reply to me, expect many questions ?

I don’t have two filters 

You have raptor. Did not know those came in 4g. My AD 165 has a dual filter head.

 

If its just a drip it wont effect your pressure enogh to notice. You might put a small stainless steel hose clamp on it and see ifmthat helps it. I cant remeber whether those quick disconnects are are push lock or barbed or fixed like @98whitelightnin is saying. 

 

Can you get a picture of the fuel lines a few inches away from the pump on either side? 

 

Since you do not know your what uour  pressure is, I would not turn it up. You do have enough pressure to make the fittings leak. So there is pressure there.

So if my gauge is reading 0 psi, would you say that my gauge has most likely just stopped working? I have three gauges all mounted in the same bracket, the other two have good numbers so idk what’s going on with my pressure. I’m hoping just a loose wire or something along those lines

Maybe the gauge or a wire as mentioned. A lot of that depends on whether you have a mechanical or electric gauge. Hard to say. A test gaige, some auto parts store loan them, would be you best bet for now and there is a test port on the VP.

@dripley is right. I've got a second gauge in my tool box. I hook it up and test the dash gauge against the test gauge.  

 

 

Can you hear the pump when you turn the key on but dont start the truck.  Itl run for a few seconds then shut off.

 

On closer look those might not be half inch lines

 

Those are 1/2" line.  I have the same pump but not 4g. There should be a plus or minus showing wich way to turn Allen bolt to raise or lower pressure.  I'll go look at mine and tell you. I dont see the plus or minus.

 

I think these pumps are set to be about 16psi . I turned mine up to 20.

Mines leaking yours looks pretty clean and new.  I'll have to look into the 4g pumps. It might be getting close to time to freshen mine up.

 

No one said I could post pictures. If I subscribed 

 

 

To me 33x12.5s look pretty good.

Heres mu 285x75x17 there roughly 35x11.5 tires

Yeah there typically set for 17 PSI from the start. 3G pumps have a bearing and seal issue. the 4G pump is upgraded to double seals and better shaft bearing.

So my picture posting will be cut of ?
