Pretty slick @Mace keep it going.

I hope that fixed it, but don’t be discouraged if it comes back. Sometimes disconnecting the batteries can temporarily clear up issues when the capacitors drain. If it comes back make sure you do the full WT mod, get great batteries, and test your alternator again.

I went ahead with this and I gotta say it’s pretty awesome. Retains complete oem functionality, basically a drop in replacement, just better. GDP was really really great to work with. Again, the thing is $500, and honestly I understand why they have it priced there. It’s well designed, well thought out, robust, and they’re a for-profit company. I called them bc I wanted to see if they offered the unit without the big line kit as I already have the 1/2” lines and fittings. They don’t, but they were really cool and let me order each individual part and I just bolted them together myself. That cut the cost to a more reasonable $300 or so. I told them they should offer this option, but for now I think they just want to offer a drop in replacement. It’s worth calling and asking though if you’re interested. Have to emphasize how professional GDP was, most of the venders we deal with on these trucks are absolute goons, but GDP earned my respect on this one.

I’m sure there’s a cool way to rig up a float switch to automatically have your 12v pump come on to keep your tank filled, but the gravity feed kits from RDS seem to be pretty good. Ours is the first one, the one that fits the 99’ Fords. https://rdsaluminum.com/rds-parts.html

I decided a few months ago I am tired of messing with the factory fuel filter housing. It’s not easy to remove the lines when I need to, and even with new hardware it still leaks at the drain valve sometimes. I have a large auxiliary trans cooler/fan mounted on the frame rail as well as the Raptor 4G so I don’t really have room for a rail mounted filter. While weighing my options I came across this from GDP https://www.glacierdieselpower.com/collections/fuel-filter-systems-vehicle-specific/products/glacier-diesel-power-1998-5-2002-dodge-ram-5-9-cummins-mk-7-big-line-kitheated-mk79852-blkh It is pricey, but it retains use of the OE WIF plug and the fuel heater. It mounts in the factory location, uses a spin on 7 micron filter, and moves the outlet from the bottom to the top side of the filter. Probably gonna go with it, can’t find any flaws in their design-can you?
