Awesome build man! Nice clean truck and even cleaner work!

Have you considered doing clean LED cab lights on it to match the headlights? HID's in the headlights and LED backups from Retro are a nice upgrades to these trucks too.

96stacked&smoken · Sep 10, 2011

ah that aint bad then. so when you gonna throw a tip on that thing?lol

Who knows. I don't like the big gaudy tips that are out. I might have my dad make one (he works in the fab shop and Amtrack).

I got a fuel PSI gauge installed on my steering column so I can keep an eye on the fuel pressure. I used a Super Duty steering column pod to hold the gauge. It fit perfectly without any modification to my OBS column trim.

I also adjusted the fuel PSI to 65 PSI after talking to a guy who builds the injectors. He said that on a dyno, anything above and below 65 PSI the HP/TQ numbers dropped. The pictures below show 60 PSI. I had to get the air worked out of the system before I knew for sure. At the point when I took the picture, the gauge under the hood showed 65 PSI.

I used a billet aluminum Tee and a billet aluminum 1/8" x 1/8" nipple to put the sending unit and the gauge on the pressure regulator.

thats a sweet setup on that gauge

This is an awesome build, pretty much the same thing i wanted to do to my truck. What ever happen to the inter cooler instal i was hoping to see how hard that was going to be?

Thanks.

I am still deciding what I want to do with the intercooler pipes.

I upgraded my fuel/water separator with a Stanadyne FM100 Fuel/Water Separator. This is nice because it has a clear water bowl on the bottom. It doesn't show it in the link, but it comes with one.

I also used the Stanadyne 100 Watt side load heater. It comes on when the fuel is less than 45* and goes off once it reaches 50*.

Before:

After:

I am working on a plate to cover the bottom of the filters. It will have a small access for the water drain.

The only thing I can't figure out is when I put the fuel in the filter it goes straight into the bowl. I would assume it is supposed to just be the water in the bowl.
