  1. Keep a good eye on it. If something in there fails it could be quick and catastrophic. if the nipple lets go it could dump your oil in a matter of seconds.
  2. Some of the pumps come with a new computer. I would recomend you get one with it. DAP sells them both ways. When i bought mine Blue Chip was the only one i found that put a new computer on the pump. But you got open your wallet pretty wide to get one of his. He is worth a look though.It would be nice to know just what all is done to these pumps during the reman process. If something doesnt meet spec it is replaced, but what about marginal parts that might pass spec but not be replaced. It would just be nice to have something to compare one pump to another.
  3. I feel your pain. I did get pretty much 200k trouble free miles however before I had to spend a lot on it other than maintenance.2 ecmsrebuilt front endone nv5600ADII165I did not include the accesories since I really did not have to have them.
  4. You might as well loose the oe pump, might gain you a little room to work with the oe canister. The braket on the engine needs to stay. I believe it is covering up an opening for a mechanical lift pump. The braket did not get in the way of installing the fuel line.If you are going to use the ad100 the fuel line will connect straight to the existing fitting on top of the basket. I guess you can get them with a draw straw also. I am not very familiar with the 100. Somebody just told me the other day they could reach right in and disconnect the old line and attach the new one. I never tried that on mine, I had to drop the tank any way to remove the intank pump. It took me an hour to drop the tank the first time and 30 minutes the second time:doh:. Run the tank down pretty low if you do drop the tank.
  5. Welcome Mike. I have one of your mechanical fp gauges. It works very well. Might as welll start with a question. I have a Banks system on my truck with their dyna fact gauges,egt and boost. I thought one day i might replace with Isspro just to match all three of them. Would they work with the Banks system? I am pretty sure all the info sent to the gauges goes thru the ottomind tuner.
  6. If it is just cycling up and down between 12 and 14 for a couple of minutes it is the grid heaters cycling. Perfectly normal. Keep hanging around and you will help someone. I came here with nothing but questions, but now also have answers. Thanks to all the folks here. If you read alot of the threads here you will see alot of us asking questions, so dont let that bother you at all.
  7. I hear no noise from my tranny, but if i have a newspaper on the console and it slides out onto the shifter it acts like a speaker and make a fair noise. Blew my mind the first time it happened.
  8. Replacement is the olnly option I know that will work. Mine is the same way.

    Doing fine here. Welcome to the forum.
  10. I gues i should have read the instructions better. I did not realize ther were 2 boxes to check:duh:.
  11. One of the reasons for installing a better lift pump is the greater flow from the larger fuel lines. Next time you get a chance look at a banjo bolt and see how small of openings are in it. You can get a fitting that will increase your flow and do the same thing as the bajo bolt. I have a 90* fitting on mine with an outlet like the schrader valve in the banjo bolt(minus the guts). check out vulcan performance's big line kit and you can see the 90 Iam speaking of. It can be purchase seperately. If that is not what you want give them a call and tell them what you want and they should be able to help you do it your way.
  12. Can you take your snubber out and replace it with the needle valve? You could leave the grease gun hose if it helps, but like Mike says it does not protect anything. It is the hammering and not the vibration
  13. Thats water hammer on from the vp trying to beat it to death. I installed mine with a needle valve It is barely cracked open so the hammering does not come thru and detsroy my gauge. The needle valve is installed into a tapped push lock fitting spliced into the line from the canister to the VP. From what you say it sounds like the snubbber is trying to do its job. It is letting some of the pulse thru though.Using the stock canister is pretty much a personal choice. I wanted the heater and the sensor. I also get a littile extra filtration with it also. My pressure is 19 at idle and 16.5 at wot with this set up.
  14. your sender could be going out or you might be sucking air to cause the drop. Loose wiring maybe.The ad100 should come with all new fuel lines and fittings to install straight from the tank to the pump to the vp. If you wish to reconnect it the same way you will need another fitting. Vulcan performance is a good source for that fitting. vulcan has 90* fitting with a tap in it for a FP gauge. They also have a tapped push lock fitting you can splice into your new fuel line for the FP gauge. I believe there is a tap on the AD for a FP gauge. Ther are many number of ways to do this. Do you plan on keeping the stock fuel canister?
  15. Did your 02 come with manual or the power/heated mirrors?
  16. You are right about one thing and that is the lift pump. the more fuel you add the worse that oe lift pump and stock fuel lines are going to do. Replace it and get a good fuel flow going to the vp first, then add the injectors. I do like the rv's but I was not after major hp, and I am happy with them. Add all you want but fix the weak link first or keep an extra grand laying around for a new VP.
  17. I have seen some discussion on this before, but does any one know if the wiring harnes is present in the door for powered mirrors? My truck came with the tow mirrors but not the powered ones. I need to order some new ones and would like to have at least powered ones as long as the harrness is there. At least that would make it easier to do, as long as i can find the switch mechanisim also.
  18. Thats why I like it here, everyone trys to help, succesfullly I might add. But I like MM would like to know if your problems are solved RAM2000Silver?
  19. I think I have been dorked.
  20. I guess that is going to put me in same class as Rogan,while the woman had one heck off a voice i would be hard pressed to pick a song. It is sad to see someone with her talent succumb to one of her demons, but these things happen and the music world will be shy one of their better talents. I did enjoy listening to her but never bought any albums. I dont buy many of anyones anymore.
