I would like to see more opinions on this too. I saw this mod all over the internet when I was searching for extras to throw in with my recent HG job. I passed on this one though. The ford tech advised me not to do it. Looks like cheezit is a tech and agrees as well.

Most of the ones I've hear about are the guys who are running a regulated return instead of the stock setup. No experience with them but isn't the fuel system on a 6.4 similar to the 6.0?

I know it seems to be a popular mod but if it has no benifits then I 'll use the money elsewhere.

Yea I would probably use it on the blue spring for the pressure regulator if you haven't done that one.

The 6.4 has a very different system.
They use a pizo stack style injector and a high pressue fuel pump.

The 6.0 bolts have a check valve in them. Per a conversation I had with tech support they are there to reduce plusing in the system from injectors firing.
Does it work, I dont know but ive never seen one go bad and ive never seen one cause any tupe of issue.
Is short its not broken and requires no fixing.

Don't do it unless you're going to a big fuel pump and a regulated return system.

I've seen one check valve fall out.


I use 6.4 banjos. Never had an issue. They're prob $25 for both with crush washers. So cost isn't a prob. They're isn't anything wrong with using them. They've been on my truck for 720k mi.

I also run the open banjos have no issues. When the truck was BP'd had the tech install them along with blue spring. Stock engine so not running anything else. Are they worth it??, but they didn't hurt either.
