P-pumping is not for the faint of heart...Gather lots of cash... If you are thinking about it, start gathering parts now, while you still have time. I went with a kit from Crazy Carl, with 0.84 lines, I think. The truck runs sluggish, however, I have NOT turned up the pump yet, waiting for about 1000-1500 mile before doing this, when I do this, I void the warranty that is one the pump after being rebuilt. I have a small list of parts for the swap...

Currently, no cruise...

The cruise currently does not work. No, not an industrial model, just a early p-pump, or just the number on the side of the pump.

Well, I went with the...... 170 P7100 pump. Currently using the VP injectors, with VP pop of pressures, I will change them out soon. The truck idles at about 900 rpm, however it does very decent, being set at stock settings. I have put about 200 miles on it so far and am happy with the performance and will be adjusting the pump up for better performance with the pump warranty is up.

The rear bushing is a press in, if it spins, the transmission is toast.

The stock numbers are 245/505, and the NV5600 is the weak spot with the rear bushing. So that is why I don't want to do any high numbers, I want to stay as stock as possible.

Not a cheap prospect... Just ask me how I know....

Currently under warranty, this mechanic has been doing all our maintenance and has all the records for them, miles are between 150,000 and 8,000 currently. He did not tell me how many miles this happens at. I will talk to him and get some more information.

From our mechanic that we trust.

Just learned that the newer Ford CP4's are grenadeing themselves and taking out the injectors as well with metal fragments. Costing $10,000 plus to fix. There is a solution to use a return line back to the tank and let the shavings then be filtered out by the fuel filter.

Let me re-introduce myself, my name is Jason, live in SO CO, have had my truck since April 1, 2001, it was manufactured March 17, 2001. All the mods in my signature. Just glad to be back on the forums again. A few things have happened medically wise, now have a bit more time for this.

The stock numbers are 245/505, and the NV5600 is the weak spot with the rear bushing. So that is why I don't want to do any high numbers, I want to stay as stock as possible.

Well, I am wanting extreme reliability, ease of maintenance, and don't want to have to mess with it ever again. Due to going places that are far from help. Not worried about MPG, as I have propane to help. I want about 250 how and 500 ft/lb of torque, don't want to do the transmission yet, when. That comes, I am wanting a 13 speed...
