Drove to Billings yesterday, pulling a tandem axle trailer, empty.
With boost working as it should, never any black smoke, boost went to 11 pounds on several occasions, just before it jumped out of over drive and exhaust temp never went above 1000 degrees.
It sure is nice when it all functions as it should. LOL

 

[deejaaa]

never mind

Sunday I fueled the truck before heading to church.
Dragging the trailer from Billings to Miles city was getting slightly over 12 to the gallon.

went to the grand opening of the new JY Sat. lots of 400 platforms. found an S10 steering wheel.

feels great. old one was small gripped but this one feels good.

@deejaaa
Do mind explaining how to repair the worn out foam material before wrapping it with new steering wheel cover?
I bought a new cover for mine, but there is a divot there the width of my left hand for some reason- haha

 

[deejaaa]

i used gorilla glue. it'll stop expanding once it cures, then trim excess.

Thanks!

Where did you get the new cover? That's a slick repair!

Replaced the Lift Pump on the Silverado again. Second one in 2018. Lost it coming back from Arizona about the time I hit the Utah state line at Bluff. Limped in to the nearest O'Reilly's and swapped it out in the parking lot. A lot easier going OEM to OEM vs. restoring from an Air Dog. So much for the 1993 LPs being better. Lasted 4 months and maybe 1500 miles.

My raptor's set up so I could go back to stock easily. So far it's never missed a lick

My Raptor’s been working fine for 3 years I think now (maybe 4?). No isssues. The last 2 years have been with it running at 25psi, too.

Is that the AC DELCO EP158?
You running with a fuel pressure gauge you can read from the driver’s seat?- what, dont like burning up injection pumps!!

Theoretically it was the EP158. Yes on the Fuel Pressure Gauge at eye level. That's how I noticed the first instance earlier this year and this one. Not a fan of burning up IPs which is why both times I fill up every 100 miles and added much more two stroke than normal until I could get the IP replaced.
The LP I put in wasn't the EP158 and I've ordered one from Rock Auto. My normal luck is that I get the one part that's bad or, the example of today's parts being substandard with a very high failure acceptance rate.
I rebuilt the Air Dog and swapped in AN fittings so I just might go with that again. At least it lasted a few years.

 

[Will L.]

Theoretically?
The EP158 is the good one. Some people realized it was listed as a replacement number by some suppliers and said go with one for a 93. There are tons of mfrs and part numbers that fit 93. All the testing we did, the EP158 is the one that lasted the longest, had best pressure,best volume and one way check valve always worked. And while the airtex E3158 (got a kick out of play on numbers) did the worst, other AC Delco units were newr the bottom of the list.

I always recommend it based this and on so many people unwilling to make major modifications, or spend big money. There are a few aftermarket lp that swamp the EP158 in every category except initial cost.

got it off ebay. had it on my old wheel so i reused it.

 

[n8in8or]

I played around with some Duramaxes and if I was a better racer I might have gone a couple rounds with them.
