Everybody with the Riffraff FRX, do your FRX return lines pulsate @ idle? My fuel pressure is at a steady 65-70psi using the spring thats recommended in the kit. Reason I ask is because I've been trying to diagnose a hot rough idle that seems most OBS trucks suffer from but Im no longer running stock OBS fuel system, Im running 99-03 fuel system.

yes they do! I just noticed this yesterday as I am trying to find this ever elusive vibration at idle. I didn't think anything of it because I thought that this vibration was just traveling through the lines from the Engine or wherever my vibration is coming from. I could definitely feel it A lot when I put my hands on the FRX line though.
By pulsate @ idle do you mean by vibration or pressure. Mine vibrate to the point that where one line passes under the spider wye connector and makes contact, I had to install wire loom to insulated from said contact. it was wearing a place on the line. And yes mine vibrate and feels like a ticking inside the line. I have never taken a fuel pressure reading on my truck. Does that help?
Yes, you can feel the injector firing pulsations through the fuel lines as well as the HPOP lines. It is normal due to the HEUI system, even on the stock metal lines, you just can't see it because they are rigid but that is one reason it wears a hole in the passenger side head metal line from the factory.
Hot rough idle could be a sensor reading like ICP or IPR being a little off. Not likely to be fuel pressure as I have seen extremely high and low fuel pressure and no discernible idle difference.
