Rosewood DIY arrived, 38 gallon tank installed

Just too excited to not post it.

Got my Rosewood DIY Stage I kit yesterday!
Will be doing that this weekend as long as my wife doesn't go into labor before then...

Plus my 38 Gallon rear tank is installed. Havn't filled it up yet (waiting to get paid on friday) but I'll have over 56 gallons fuel capacity!!!

Wooo Hooo. Two great mods.
Good luck with the injectors and the baby.

We are both real close to having a baby.We packed the suit case the other day and did a dry run to the Hospital.

God bless both your families, and those babies on the way! Let me know how the DIY kit goes... Did you get the pre-machined intensifier pistons, or will you have the originals ground down?

We have the bags packed and ready to go, car seat in the wife's car. We are only about 15 minutes from the hospital and drive up there a lot so I think we're as ready as we can be.
Good luck with your baby!

I got the tank from RockAuto. Part # F26E Had to buy some extra tubing to extend the pickup and return tubes, make a extended rod for the float, and cut two extra notches in the hole where the sender goes so it sits right in there. I just follwed Jim's install www.dzljim.com

We have my wife's car all ready with the car seat in it. I wouldn't be tearing my truck apart if it was our only vehicle this close to her due date. lol

Yep, first kid. Mason Charles Brown. I'll post when he's born whenever I can. Don't think the hospital here has WiFi.

When I ordered my chip from Jim he told me I could get stock tunes if I wanted to, but since I wanted to upgrade injectors later on I could get the Stage I tunes instead.
So that's what I did, got the Stage I tunes, which run fine with stock sticks, just can't max out the power settings. So I'm ready to go! I can't wait to see this thing actually roll some coal!

I'll keep posting. I'll try to get pics of the injector rebuild but can't promise anything. You know how it goes and you just want to get it done...

CONGRATS to you and your wife on the little one. I'm guessing your wife's more ready for the baby to be born that you are!!!!!

Congrats to Neal as well. No kids for me yet but someday!

You'll love the 38gal tank. It hurts the wallet when filling it up, but it's SO nice to not have to fill up every 500 to 600 miles. When it's completely empty and you have the vent mod done, you can get 39 gal in it to the brim.
