Complete e-fuel System

I spring a fuel leak last night and I think mow it the time to upgrade to e-fuel.

I am looking for a COMPLETE system.

I am looking at the Driven Diesel one. Anyone have 1st hand experience with it and or recommendations for another system?

I would add the banjo bolt option

That is a pretty badass kit there. 100% complete using quality parts from one of the most reputable diesel retailers and innovators out there.
What's your question??? Seems like a no brainer if you either have the 1300$ or don't want the hassle of piecing it together yourself.

I pieced together my partial kit for my superduty (no regulated return) for significantly cheaper, but if I had the money, I may have bought a kit. As I get older, or more like get less time, I realize that sometimes doing it yourself is wasteful of time.

I hope someone has first hand experience with this so you can get your opinion.

For me, Bosch, Baldwin, fuel lab, and gates are all top of the line stuff. Along with drivens obs proven filter bracket and it's "bolt in" setup... My opinion, no brainer.

I am looking at Traction bars and another truck. Not quite sure I have the extra $$ to spend on the e-fuel right now. May just buy an advance auto stocker for the mean time. But i dont know if I can use s regular fuel pump with my cali truck

I'm rusty on the obs psd.
Do They have a mechanical lift pump or do they have a low pressure lift pump.

Are you maxing out the capacity of the stock pump, or do you just want to upgrade.
I'm all for upgrading or adding supporting mods. But I know what you mean about being on a budget. My superduty has been sitting for a couple years. I hate it.

Get your truck fixed ASAP. Buy the stocker and get the truck useable. I'm sure you'll be able to use the stock pump on another truck you get down the road.

OT... What traction bars. I need to look into a set but I always worry about binding and how they effect the ride. And I'm not convinced with the one with the shackle to the frame. My truck is more of a fun dd that works occasionally. More for looks but I want to keep axle wrap at a minimum also.

Man that kit looks amazing and actually worth the money. Are you still considering it or is it on the back burner now?

My mechanical pump is pissing out the back and running all over the ground.

Advance has one for $150 I am going to get that and maybe put e-fuel in when I have more time

i look at the stock pump as a plus... that means i can get a replacement anywhere.

and iirc irate is having CS issues lately. not sure i want anything from them till he cleans up his act. i am fairly sure its not intensional, i am betting he is just backlogged.

If its of any use, I've dealt with Irate recently and was more than impressed with the CS. Called me back after hours, and sent me the small part i needed for free, not even for shipping since he had an extra one. I've also emailed him multiple times with different questions and he always responds within hours. I know some have had issues, but maybe they've gotten that worked out?

As far as the ladder bars and being unsure of the shackle design, ill tell you, they work great! The set on my truck is bolted straight to the frame and u bolted to the axle. First time I loaded the trailer on it, they bent because there was nowhere for them to travel when the axle traveled. Installed a home made set on my buddys OBS with a shackle and they control the axle wrap just as well, and don't bind when loaded or flexing the suspension.

Right now a stock mechanical pup is going back on. Picked on up from advance last night for $99

I will look into Irates kit.

I will be going with PMFs traction bars
