Are you trying to do this from the top? I can see where that would be a problem.]
Well i FINALLY got a 10mm box end on the one bolt i was having trouble with...BUT, I went to prime the fuel system and i have diesel squirting violently out of the secondary fuel filter. It's the o-ring i believe. Can't see any cracks but if you look at the filter cap closely at where it mates to the housing there is a small groove in it. This is where the fuel is literally making a stream before it gets any pressure. Seems like the oring is not even there. I don't know what caused it to leak i didn't take the cap off when i tore everything down. I simply took the entire housing off. I have no Oil filter in the housing so it isn't a chore, just the bolts and it's off. Seems like i am never going to get this thing going again!

Fixed with a new o-ring... luckily i had one stashed in my shop. So, Does anyone know if the factory fuel pump is switched through the negative terminal. I think i have the right fuse(F2.40) but it is hot while the truck is off. I am trying to run my relay for my Raptor and FASS off of the fuel pump circuit. I can use another KOH circuit but i don't like that due to the fact that it runs if I just want to listen to the radio or if I am loading tunes. Maybe i am being too picky.

I have the 03 wiring diagrams on DVD it just takes more
to get them into one PDF do to the fact I have to copy each
one at a time. I'll post the engine electronics diagram and that
covers the fuel pump.

Well Looks like I have already done that little job so no big work ahead.
Here you go. Enjoy
Let me know if you need other info.


Merry Christmas

Thank you very much... i got it figured out... now i cranked it and i am having even more trouble... the engine load is 80%-90% at idle. ICP is reading 6.5 ish and IPR duty is 21%. it will rev but acts like it is not getting fuel. I don't have a tune for the new turbo yet but i thought it would at least idle right. If you put it in gear it dies. I have spent so much time getting this thing going to not have it running right. VERY DISAPPOINTING to say the least. Fuel pressure is set at 58 psi(i'll probably dial that down later). I have tried reloading tunes, resetting the KAM. and it runs but, thats it.

That is a bummer.
Have you gone back and rechecked all the connections yet?

Maybe take a little time away from it and that will give you time
to think about would it might be.

I checked the plugs on the FICM, but nothing else. Do you think using the 05-07 ICP on my 03 would cause that issue? I read a couple articles, and they were saying that they would be compatible.

i do not think they are compatible. the 03-04 sensor makes a 05-07 truck barely fire and idle like crap, i would assume the reverse be the same

Well i have an 03 sensor... but changing that thing with everything back together is... you all know that chore. But is there any way to negate the problems through tuning? And what reason would anyone put an 03 sensor on an 05+ anyway. Aren't the 05-07 less prone for failure?

As much as I hate to tell you to do this I think you need to pull the new one out and have
a look at the screen. The reason I say this is in you list you have a new oil cooler. If crud got in
and clogged up the screen that could be the problem.

It's not new.. just listed what I had on the truck to help pinpoint the problem.
The oil cooler has been on for three years.. only thing changed was a new ipr screen, 05+ icp, turbo, manifolds, water pump, delete, and y pipe

Well that sort of rules out the trash on the screen issue. And we thought it was going to be easy.

It's fixed! ICP was the issue... so let it be a testament that all ICP are either not equal, or not compatible... just stick with your year model and OEM sensors!

I do have one tiny problem with the OEM pump leaking but it's not going to be a difficult fix. I'm just going to take it out i think. Then let the thing leak all it wants in my tool crib. The raptor pump manual said the removal of the pump was optional. Which led me to believe i could leave the return line going through the pump. Especially since the kit didn't come with any fittings to connect the two lines together. Funny thing is, it's leaking out of the output side of the pump. I don't understand why it is leaking but taking it out is a foolproof solution. i just have to figure out if nylon is good enough. That's all i could find locally searching online.
