CPR is in!!!

got the CPR done today. i didn't notice too much of a difference though. it seems to spool quicker and a little more responsive, but thats about it. hopefully it will help with the bigger injectors though. it wasn't a bad install at all since i had my brother helping me with it. well, it wasn't bad once we worked through the one problem... haha

When we got to where we could take off the drivers side rear fuel fitting is when we started having problems. we had to cut the 90* part of the fitting and then once we started taking it out the fitting snapped off inside the head!!!!!!! being as it was 9:30 we were hoping we could find a place open that had EZ outs(i couldn't find ours) and after driving to 3 different places i called my old boss to see if he had one. So we went to his house to get what he had and it wouldn't work so we went to another guys house and got a set and finally got the fitting out at around 11...

it was sort of a trick to mount the pump and post filter on my 2wd single cab, but i was able to put it on the inside of the frame rail with the one draw back of having to un bolt it if i have to take out the crossmember for the transmission, but thats no big deal, it's only 3 bolts.. I'm just happy to know that i have NO FUEL LEAKS!!!!! and i like how my engine looks much better without that dang fuel bowl in the middle of it!!! haha i will post some pics tomorrow though.

Good deal. Does it smoothe out your idle?

the idle smoothed out and the engine "clatter" got a little quieter. before the install you could hear the injectors pretty loud, but now it isn't as loud as it was when i first got the truck. oh yeah, and the exhaust got louder..

pics are coming when i get home in a little bit, but i just noticed i have oil coming out of my HPOP res. fill plug!!!! how the heck does that happen? is the plug supposed to have a thread sealant on it?

Ditto on the o-ring. Just get a new o-ring and apply a little oil and reinsert.

Congrats on the fuel system. I can't wait for mine.

well i will reply for travis, since he has not yet. He met me at my place of work last night when i got off, so he could help me move some stuff. while he was waiting for me to get off he decided to jack with the fill plug, and low and behold it still had another full turn on it before it was all the way tightened up. I have not talked to him since, but i did make sure and give him a lot of crap for not checking how tight it was right off the Batt. LOL

Yours didn't have an o-ring. 94-95 used tapered pipe threads, 96 was the 1st year they went to the straight thread o-ring fitting.

Strokin' what ties the two heads together? From the pics it looks like you have high pressure feed going into the right (drivers) head "rear" and coming out of the left head "rear" to the regulator. Did you install a line on the front of the heads as a cross over?

the factory line that comes from the front of the driver side head to the FPR is used to go straight over to the passenger side head. they send you 2 swivel fittings to use so that it's long enough to reach. Mine reached with only one swivel fitting

the system uses a 2 micron dahl pre-pump filter and then a 200 micron aeromotive post pump filter.
