Efuel is getting close. Just need a couple fittings to complete the top end mods (just going to use the stock lines and banjo bolt for now), then a bracket for the pump and filters, plumb that and some wiring. I was going to get a rebilled kit but he's a little busy right now and I found a good deal on an SD pump and bracket; so I started compiling my own kit. But I will say that I've seen what comes in a rebilled kit and what he told me he charges is a steal; I'm not sure how he makes money on them.

Anyhow, I found a I 5/16" Hose Barb x 9/16"-18 Male Adjustable O-Ring Boss that will work perfectly for the return off the regulator. Every build I've seen so far used a -6 AN fitting adapted to a 5/16" Hose Barb. This one goes straight to hose barb. It's Brennan Industries 4601-05-06-NWO-FG. Hope this helps someone someday.

Just the opposite for me. I took my oe off the ford thermostat and I think I over did it on the bolts and it leaked. I then put TE's on and a little gray stuff and its good. Good Luck!!

Does anyone make metal interior door handles for our trucks? I broke my stock one off, put one on from O Reillys and it broke off a month later... The guy behind the counter said his son had a dump truck that wouldn't keep a plastic handle for very long so he put metal ones on. Ive been looking over the internet and cant find squat

Seems I read it was the 80's trucks? Maybe earlier that had metal handles, not sure though.

yea, the 81 to 86 had metal handles too Glenn, but they use a different part number than the 87 to 97 trucks.
i don't remember what the difference is though.

Go to a junk yard and get the metal handles out of an '80-'86 truck. They bolt right up.
