Installed my fuel system
Well, finally got around to installing my fuel system. it includes an Alligator Performance Sump, AirdogII, and Regulated Return from Strictly Diesel. What a PITA that job was. The regulated return was the hardest. Needing to remove and replace the fittings on the heads is the toughest part, especially the fitting on the rear of the passenger side head. The sump was petty straight forward and the airdogII wasnt bad at all either. We didnt use the wiring harness with the kit, we tied it right into the factory wiring and it seems to be working well.

For me the fittings weren't too bad a deal. It was fabbing all the lines, hoses, and brackets.

I found removing the IC pipe on the pass side makes it a lot easier to get your arm back there with minimal dissassembly.

First post updated.

I removed everything to get to everything a little easier. Moved the DP to the side, but was still a little tight. THis turbos angle makes it a little difficult.
