That would be an easier way of doing it. The reason that I chose to feed both heads from the rear is that the engine is slightly tilted toward the rear of the truck. Air always rises and I wanted to feed the heads at the low point and allow all air bubbles to rise to the top and be purged.
It's an ITP system. It did get rid of my idle knock most of the time....still hear it occasionally when it's really cold. I also have a couple of injectors that are getting clacky all the time now, but I hope to remedy that soon.
Also...the injectors are a little louder at the higher pressures, but they seem to run better cranked up.
Cookie, so even though I have done all the fuel mods, and I still have some cackle, are you saying that an injector could be bad. I have wondered if replacing #8 might help after 95000mi. of cackle. ????
i'd like to know this also.mine is starting to do it on both sides now.what would be the culprit on passenger side of motor?
Air in the fuel, it gets into the right side head just as easily as the left. Just the left head also has to timing order issues that tend to make #8 starve for fuel as well and so it's worse on the left than the right.
It would take a huge fight at the dealer. For the $100-200.00 and one day's work to fix it permanantly, it's not worth it to me.
Plus our truck are off warrenty anyway. They wouldn't do a thing for us.

If you had an air intrusion problem for 95,000 miles it's likely that more than one injector has suffered some damage.

Are you talking about installing a balance tube between the heads, similar to what the high pressure oil crossover line does? It seems like that would provide the air in the rails someplace to go....maybe a little check valve teed into the return line to let the air clear the line at a preset pressure?
The ITP system I use is very similar to the TT diagram, actually, everyone's system is similar to that diagram. The ITP system feeds the heads from the stock locations with upgraded feed lines, then goes through check valves installed in the head outlets to the regulator, and from there to the return line.
