Regulated Return Kit Problems
I installed my Regulated Return Kit this weekend that I got from ITP. Looks great but I had a few problems along the way:
The rubber bushings used in-between the main supply and return line that connect to the bowl are a horrible design. They were extremely hard to get on and then the supply one leaked and I had to find a hose pin Pep Boys to match it and cut and shave it down to replace it, very annoying, they should just have been flair fittings, would have saved me a lot of time.
My batteries craped out, they are 7 years old and the stock ones that came with the truck but did they have to go now!
.. not an issue with the kit just annoying.The serious problems: My SES light is now on, anyone know why or how to resolve this?
Finally, when I started my truck after it sat for a full night after the first drive with the kit in I thought it was going to stall out, the RPM's were dropping from 1 to 0 over and over until I gassed it a bit and then it was ok, haven't started the truck this morning yet, hopefully that doesn't happen again but does anyone know what that was about!?!
But I must say I like the look of the gauge under the hood

I would recheck all the connections to make sure they are tight and not leaking. Also how much fuel pressure are you getting on the gauge? Try adjusting the pressure, I keep mine around 65-67psi. Otherwise call Dennis at ITP and I am sure he will help you figure it out.

Open forum bashing won't get you far with vendors. Just saying, not

I just installed this kit plus the bowl delete on my truck and I have to say the quality of all the parts I got from Dennis are top notch.

I was not bashing about the rubber bushing, just critiquing.
I did not mean to be bashing about the rubber bushing, just critiquing when still frustrated. I thought that the kit was extremely well put together, and the ITP parts look great!
