Here's my suggestion install a fuel sump, any fuel pump system you choose (I recommend the AirDog), install the new fuel pressure spring and a fuel gauge. Take note of the fuel pressure as you drive THEN if needed install a regulated return. Many people have discovered there is no need for a regulated return system.

I like this idea a lot. I don't want to be a wuss about installing the RR, but I know it is a PITA (and I can't see bringing the truck to a shop when it isn't broken).

Dropping the tank isn't easy but installing the sump has been one of my best mods yet.

I wish I had thought of it when I dropped the tank for the harpoon. That actually went surprisingly well (of course, I had a lot of help from FTE).

Yep...Finally harpooned mine! If you do the fuel sump I recommend a AirDog 150.
