Electric Conversion?

Who has the best kit? I just need something cheap for a t444e to clean up the engine bay a bit.

Are you saying you want to swap out the PSD for an electric motor?

Or are you just looking to downgrade to an electric fan that can't keep up while towing? If so, the better option would be an electric clutch with the mechanical fan.

My bad... t444e as I understand it is essentially an OBS powerstroke (with few quirks). The fuel canister and mechanical pump are in the way under the hood. I'm considering removing in favor of an electric system. When I did it on my OBS I pieced mine together. I don't have that kind of time so was soliciting feedback on any kits that might be available.

Better?

Sam

so are you talking e-fuel or entire harness and all to make it a sd 7.3?

Just convert the mechanical cam driven pump and filter to an electric pump (walbro) and frame mounted filter.

Without going through all the sponsors on the site here, I know that Irate Diesel offers a complete kit for $1000

Thank you, that's what I was looking for. When I did my OBS, no one really had a good kit available.

That is a nice kit. I think I'm going to piece mine together. I seem to recall I did fuel bowl elimination, regulated return, and e-fuel for ~$4-500 total...

Here is the kit you want. If you purchase and install it let me know how you like it! Ive been mulling over buying this kit for my 1995. What injectors are you running?

This is for my 4700. That kit is great (like all of Deniss' products) but overkill for my application. I'm just looking to clean up the engine bay not performance.
