Riff-Raff ++++++

Ya'll can add me to the list of VERY HAPPY Clay customers. Put the FRX on yesterday & was real impressed with the quality & fit. When I opened the box Saturday I was a little pissy because there was no thread seal in there so I chalked it up to my luck & got some Sat eve. Went to install Sunday & stupid me saw that the thread seal was already on the fittings...lol The best part was getting out on the highway in the 120r tune to run the air out of the lines. Put the black wire loom on the lines & it looks like it came from the factory. A big Thanks to Grant for the info & Thank you Clay for a nice & fair priced product.

Glad to help you out. It is a great product. My truck is purring like a kitten now. Odd about the thread lock already on the threads. Maybe that is something Clay changed. I got mine a couple of weeks ago and the sealant came in a small package. Mine didn't come with install instructions but I found them online easy enough. Maybe Clay just thought I was a sharp guy and didn't need them...lol..

LOL, sorry about the thread sealant. We have been selling so many we ran out of little packets and had to start doing it before packaging so that they could keep shipping. Another 500 will be here this week and we will be back to including them in the shipment, causing you more work on install

Wait.... Be sure to include instructions on applying the sealant Clay. I may have issues when I get around to ordering mine and I dont want to put the sealant on the wrong part.

Was looking at the frx myself. Would this be necessary with the itp pre pump tank kit? Doesnt that remove all the air?

Less is more on the Gasoilia, we have the smallest tube they manufacture and it is still enough to do 20 systems =

The pre-pump helps reduce air, but really eliminates the mixing chamber and screens in the tank that fill with crud. The FRx eliminates the "dead head" in the fuel rails. It allows a return path for any air that gets in the fuel. They really compliment each other.

I put this on first & will do the intank deal when the weather gets a little nicer. Didn't want to do both at the same time so I could tell if there was any difference, this just happened to come first for me.

CJ, Did you get a chance to check the fuel pressure? If you get that spring in there caulked it can be to high.

No I didn't have a way to check it, but I'm pretty sure I got the spring in there right. Gonna run down & get Marty to put a gauge on it to check it.

That sounds like a good idea. When you buy something it's nice to verify everything is working correctly. Maybe Marty can run some CCT/perdels (I think that is what it's called, I don't have AE yet). It would be interesting to see how that changes after the in tank mods. Ken (woodnthings) is good at that stuff and could probably help you post up some pretty graphs.
