greed

I checked on these from www.dashcoversplus.com a few years ago. I never found any reviews on the product. I did talk to the owner and he was very informative. He did talk about the fiberglass covers. As I recall, lots of off gassing.

I had the same type problem with my 2002. It did throw a code. I don't remember the code, but it was for the cam position sensor. Eventually, it threw the 0216 code. Dealer installed rebuilt VP44 under warranty. Still had the problem on a cold morning. I replaced the cam position sensor. No more problems.

I put on a Donaldson - Volant filter. Volant part #61504. Dimensions are 8" X 8" with 4" intake. Supposed to be good for 150,000 miles. I don't remember how fine it filters. Supposed to flow about 1,200 CFM. I know I can hear the turbo more over what I could hear with a Wix BHAF. Specs and a video are on the Volant website. There is also a Outerwears type pre-filter, part #51921.

I wasn't trying to jack a thread. Cuda posted he had a Mag-Hytec and hadn't put it on yet. I mistakenly thought it may be a good time to bring up the Banks video. I am not a Banks fan or follower.

I have a Mag-Hytec on my rear diff. After watching the videos Gale Banks did, I'm seriously considering going back to stock. I had the rear rebuilt once due to a spun carrier bearing and a spun pinion bearing. I don't remember if I had the Mag-Hytec on at that time or not.

It's been a long time age, so my memory may not be up to par. As I recall, someone on www.dieseltruckresource.com adapted in a blower and motor from a Chev pickup.

What type solder are you using?

I was able to get to the disconnect from under the truck. IIRC, it was a pain, not much room, but doable.

Yes, I replaced the insert and the leak stopped.

Unfortunately, I did not save the package. I checked my stash of inserts, and I believe it is a 5/16 insert. I checked the Dorman website and came up with Part# 800-005. Hope this helps.

My 2002 has a plastic disconnect on the bottom of the tee on the return line. Mine was leaking, and I got new plastic inserts at NAPA. IIRC, they are 3/8.

No, I cycled the pump with the key a few times. I had mine mounted back by the tank. Changed one on a friends truck, and we had to crack a couple of injectors to get it to start.

Including the original, I went through 6 of the Carter pumps. As I recall, even with a 3/8 line kit, about the best I saw was 12PSI at idle. It would drop to 7 or 8 under load. Then the pressure would start to fluctuate. When the pressure started to fluctuate, I changed out the pump. I had bought 4 at the $64.00 campaign pump price. The last one I had to pay the full $180.00 price. I went to an aftermarket pump, and it holds 15PSA continually. Loaded or unloaded.

It looks like RiffRaff and Diesel Manor get them from dieselOrings.com. I checked their site and they have them in stock, for $14.95. It looks like the one they show has some extra pieces. I forgot to get the part number. Maybe Amazon would have some. I got mine off Ebay. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I didn't find any recently.

Diesel Manor and RiffRaff diesel have them. They are listed for a Ford pressure test port.
