    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    Can't hurt to have a good spare. My black one is still serviceable and, once the silver one is repaired, it'll be good to go too. Lower's on E-Bay are listing for anywhere from $200 - $330. The higher priced ones often include the upper. Uppers alone are listing at $50 - $200. What people are...

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    Some have maintained that the two 90* elbows I have aren’t good for airflow. Others agree that over that short distance…meh. Quadstar sells an intake that looks pretty slick. https://quadstartuning.com/products/high-flow-intake-plenums Naturally, it needs to utilizes an install kit...

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    Clearest pictures I have, without running down to the truck tonight, are from 2013 when I was mocking things up for the spacer concept. I inherited the intake design from my friend and former member 635. These were just mock ups. The Hat is a product supplied by Pennisular Diesel. I don't know...

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    Went to Kingman to prep the streamliner and help with a couple of other things around the place. Took my damaged lower intake in the hopes there would be time to repair the ear. Nope. But, friend of his knew a guy etc. and I was able to pick up a pretty clean lower for a fair price. Sorry...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Uh, no. Both are 3/8" barbed nipples. Perhaps a bit of optical illusion gifted by the camera angle magnifying the differences in the orifices. Here they are nose to nose which should clear things up just a bit. And, a 7/32 drill bit passes easily through the narrower one (right side of the...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Given the function of the Air Dog II-5G and 4G series pumps removes air as well as water and gunk, the water and gunk being retained in the filters where the air with excess fuel is returned from the pump to the tank under pressure via a 3/8" hose. Delivering what is similar to the foam we see...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    Never heard of drilling the tank I run the Air Dog DF-165 and utilized the supplied fuel neck adaptor vs drilling the tank. fNo issues.

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    I'm just presenting options. How one makes things work is up to the individual. I mean, I guess one could try to stuff the T and the sender under the intake but, not recommended. Heat, clearances, access in the future etc. makes going under bad idea in my book. Earlier, I'd remoted my FFM to the...

    Ds4 fitting for fuel pressure gauge

    OEM IP Inlet 7/16 ORB to 1/4" Barb and the aftermarket with the -6 AN. IP Fitting to -6AN Push Lock example. Realizing this thread was pretty much all about a fitting for a cleaner Fuel Pressure gauge set up, here's a couple of under $15 solutions for those using a Leroy type FTB kit using...

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    The Time-Serts arrived and they worked just fine. A little different in style/construct but they threaded in as hoped. The Senmmonn inserts have a wider lip than the Time-serts and, having already prepared the intake for the Senmmonns, the Time-serts seated a little deeper but, that’s fine...

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    "Shut down [my] thread." Now my feeling are hurt. sniff I appreciate the offered gift but, please, keep the "F" intake for personal us and use pieces of the "S" intake to repair the broken one. I'll be getting my spare intake repaired next week when I visit Chris and, of course, I'll be sure...

    Sorry about the cat and I appreciate your looking out for me. Future intake is just that, future = maybe next year, maybe next week. We’ll see.

    Lower Intake Thread Repair Solutions.

    Small Update. As I mentioned earlier, I am not at all thrilled with these stainless M8 x 1.25 threaded inserts (about $10 for six) but, they served the purpose of threading into the M10 x 1.5 Heli Coils I mistakenly used. I just don't think I could trust them to torque even to just the 17Flbs...

    Fuel system setup

    I agree and have similar observations on all points. Shape of the tank, approx number of gal. left at each quarter on the fuel gauge and the quality / longevity of the unit. I had a couple of long civil, conversations with Leroy on it and, in the end, because of the electrical resistances...
