more mods complete

Yesterday I dropped the tank and did the "hutch" and harpoon mods inside the tank. From there I added a carter 4070 fuel pump and ran new 30R7 fuel line all the way to the stock pump. After driving about 10 miles I could noticably tell the truck was much more quiet. I must have been sucking in a bunch of air before because now it purrrs like a kitty. Stopped to fill the tank and other than having to stop and restart because the dang pump was preset to stop at $75. I couldnt believe how much faster that made fill ups.

Also changed the tranny fluid, which I presume was orginal from the factory (116,000) And also replaced the gear fluid with Royal Purple.

Start time: Around noon, finished around 7 pm.

Thanks Guzzle for the website for instruction!!

You're welcome Sprint! Glad to hear it helped your stroker out. I know I was pretty impressed after doing the harpoon, especially when stopping at the big truck stops.
Just as a sidenote, the little website hit a new milestone last month... Over 1000 visits and 64,000 hits! 99% from FTE.

These mods were probably the best things I did to my truck!
