Send Andy (Snowseeker) a PM for the ABS grease fittings. He makes them up as people need them. Here is the link where he talks about it.

Guess that hutch mod I should try , every once in awhile sitting at a light I get sort of a light miss fire . Sounds like the this could be the issue

To verify that is it you can disconnect the fuel line going into the pump and blow air back through the line into the tank to try and clear the screens. Make sure you remove your filler cap before blowing air back into the tank. Also are you above 1/4 tank? You might have a broken pickup foot also and if your below a 1/4 tank it can cause a slight missfire. To me doing the hutch/harpoon mod is the best anyway. I would put on a external filter from Strickly Diesel also.

I just got the truck only filled up 2 times I keep it slightly over 1/4 tank and just throw in $50 at a time so when weather breaks for a day I can do the mod but way weather has been it may be a few more weeks . Is the kit they sell worth it? Or should I piece it together and buy just the filter kit . It looks like its just a compression fitting and some steel brake/fuel line is all that's needed besides filter housing and nipples

Yea... I've been slackin'. I took that picture during one of my multiple visits to the injectors under the VCs and I downloaded my camera recently. I uploaded that photo this morning.

Miss? Below 1/4-tank - maybe a Hutch mod issue. Possibly a UVCH issue if under 1/4, very likely if over 1/4.
