    Product Engineering Pump

    Whitmore, I have to agree with you on this. The L/P is located in the same spot on the engine no matter who the truck manufacturer is. Most all of the medium duty trucks use 1/2 line,yet stiil have some probs due to it's location. Pulling fuel from dual tanks up to a 'T' on top of the trans...

    Basic upgrades

    Gauges first...as the other posts mentioned. Happy with the AFE and Rip's exhaust here too. On the box, I would spend a little extra and get the Comp over the EZ. It can be hooked up as an EZ until clutch/trans upgrades are done. If you decide on more power later,the pump wire is there to be...

    4" exhaust and HP

    ISMNU, I could tell a difference right away by adding the AFE and 4"...more responsive throttle,quicker turbo spool up, from the SOP meter. The engine breathes better. No,a diesel doesn't need backpressure like a gasser. The general rule is you probably get about 1/2 of what the manufactures...

    Lift pump

    The fuel pressure should be checked at WOT. The minimum should be a test gauge to check it. A permanent gauge is a hell of a lot cheaper than a VP-44. On the EZ,I'd check the connectors.I ran into that some time back. Would also run the ground to the battery if it isn't already.

    Fuel pressure senders

    CMNS PWR, Got mine thru Wildcat diesel. It uses a tapped banjo bolt on the underside of the fuel filter housing(post filter),a shut off valve and about 5' of #3 steel braided line. It is a pain to get it up thru the dash area,not a lot of room under there. Used #2 Permatex on the threads...

    Manual Fuel Shutoff lever conversion questions

    CHarlan,probably better off going with the cable,easier on the wallet and does the same thing. I/H mechanical 466s use this. Most of the ones that I run across,the plunger/spring gets rusted /breaks and falls out. Tried fixing them before, didn't last too long.

    random stumble

    I had a prob with mine about a month ago. Had an active code and check engine lite came on. Unhooked the Comp for a week or so and it was fine. When I hooked it all back up,I noticed a lot of grease in the connectors.I cleaned them out and greased the rubber seal.Too much grease can act as an...

    Filters

    Friend of mine has a 2000-2001 7.3 that I'm going to wind up servicing for him. Is there a list of approved oil/fuel filters that Ford recommends? How much oil is used for the oil change? Thanks for any info.

    Codes

    1693 is a companion code between the ECM and PCM. Basically,one if them saw a problem. 0500-VSS is in the rear end,think it is tied to the ABS sensor in the rear. May want to try checking for moisture in the connector and using dialectric grease on the plug. From what I understand,this code...
