thats the kinda info that people need to know.When I talked to thoroughbred today he had the raptor on his own truck but didn't have the line going from filter to vp didn't dwell on it either.Thanx

ordered raptor 100 today from thoroughbred diesel It doesn't have where to buy the big line from the filter to pump.Did you purchase yours separately?or make it?I would just like to do it right and never look back.

Problems again starting this morning,Check grid heater all okay.Found fuel line leak fuel pressure won't hold.Before the lift pump must be sucking air.Time for a raptor 100.I see you have one.Do they all come with the big line kit?Easy instal?Are you happy with it?I figure if Im gonna do fuel lines I might as well do the pump Iwas gettin do.My fuel pressure was around 11 at cruise and I couldn't tromp on it because it could go down below 7psi.Then I can get back to my wiring issue.

Today was a little cooler than normal.My truck wouldn't just start right up as usual.I noticed on the intake heater there are black and tan on the solenoids that activate the fuel heater.It might have just been a flook but I'll know soon.Food for thought.When I probe the black and tan reverse polarity meaning positive on the clip of the test light and probe the wire I get a dim light.This means either its grounding out or going through a coil or solenoid or something.

The diagram on the original post is from the diesel manor website under gauge install instructions if you click the diagram it gets large enough to read they wanted it installed on the black and tan wire.I traced the wire in the manual wiring diagram right down to tha actual plug under the dash and the manual says that particular wire in that location should be black and red.If you go to www.dieselmanor.com you can see the original install diagram along with many other installs on common diesel upgrades too.Reasonable prices and good to deal with also. I just went out and checked the horn for curiousity sake and it worked.I took a test light originally before first post and went through every fuse all appears ok. Being a switched power I'm curious if my ignition is starting to fail as I read occasional posts on this. I did find the black and red wire in the manual wiring diagram at that location was for "premium sound system" thats all it says.I believe I have that but everything still works. Thanks for your reply and your interest.I apoligize for being on high defense.

No I did not check where it went to I trusted the diagram as shown by the reputable company diesel manor and there suggested way to hook up that particular gauge.If I knew where that wire went to I wouldn't be posting "mystery wire" and asking for help on what it does.I didn't run the wire taps as shown I soldered them in, that picture is the one from diesel manors website on gauge installation.Your last sentence is exactly what I'm asking I can't find anything not working and I was hoping someone ran into this issue.I purchased autometer gauges and installed as per instructed.I didn't go out on a limb and search for a hot wire.p.s.I was an industrial electrician apprentice before I got my millwright ticket.

Hi guys newbie here,My pyrometer gauge stopped working and through my check I found the wire I tapped according to diesel manor install instructions lost power.All fuses check out O.K. Everything appears to work also.But I'm concerned this wire does something somewhere and I don't want a problem.According to the wiring diagram in the manual I downloaded from this site the wire is black/red but the wire is clearly black and tan.Any help with this would be appreciated.I'll attach a picture from the install instruction.

Hi, newbie here, I'm not much for just random posting.I can only respond to personnal experience or what I do know is correct or not.Sites like this are full of valuable info and help.I don't have a problem with donating at all but I just spent 10 min. trying to find where to donate or how.I can't seem to find a button anywhere to just click and get started.Help with this would be beneficial for all.Ken
