I've been poking around here for a while and finally made an account.

 

I bought my truck in 2012 with ~210,000 miles for $5,600.

 

It just had the VP and lift pump replaced (albeit Airtex) a few months before I bought it. One previous owner who I've known for basically my whole life who took good care of. Never towed anything more than a 21' boat.

 

Thanks for the wealth of information here! Invaluable resource!

    Wow that thing is clean. Whats your airtex putting out for pressure? The reason I ask is I have seen those things put out like 30 psi and cause major problems.

    I must be one of the lucky ones when it comes to fuel pressure on the Airtex.

     

    Currently I am getting:

    Idle: 19 PSI

    WOT: 10-12 PSI

    Cruise: 14 PSI

     

    I drive it very conservatively, so I rarely see the PSI hit 10 or even 12 PSI as I understand 10 PSI in the minimum before bad things can start happening.

     

    Being that I have the stock fuel lines, there is a greater PSI drop than I would like, but my next system is most likely going to be a Fass 95 (pump only). I don't see a point in spending money on a big line/relocation kit if I know I am going to get that system in the near future. :shrug:

    You want a kit with 1/2" lines. I run my airdog through my stock housing and then have a 1/2" big line kit from housing to vp44. And really you want to stay above 14 for lubrication and cooling but cummins wants 10 min.

    Beautiful truck. Welcome to the farm. Been a while since I have been down your way for a good low country boil.

    Is Beaufort(bo fort if I am correct) stew anything like Brunswick stew. I love shrimp and I love grits, I just have never gotten my taste buds around both together. I am pretty much by myself on that one though, most everyone I know loves em.

    Nah Beaufort Stew is the same as Lowcountry Boil or Frogmore Stew. Just different names. Gotta love that southern cooking!
