Has anyone here actually installed/used one of the complete fuel system kits from ITP? My rig is running well, but there's a few things that I've noticed and, if they are actually a problem, I want to fix 'em before things get broken. At low idle (650 rpm) the idle speed stays constant per the AIC display, but it almost feels like the engine is surging rpm then coming back down. In addition, the idle seems kind of rough and mileage is down a bit. I have switched back to straight #2 fuel and unlocked my hubs and that should help mpg a bit but even when I was running blended fuel and locked hubs, the mileage was a bit under what I would expect. None of these conditions are badly, or even modestly annoying, but if I am sucking air into my fuel supply I'd rather fix the problems sooner rather than later and one of the ITP kits seems like it would be the ticket. I have one of the high-pressure crossover hoses from Dennis that is a well-made piece of equipment and I'm pleased with it so I'm not worried about the quality of the product but I am wondering if the full kit is worth the cost.

JV, I have not installed one, but the other opinions that I have heard range from "I did not notice anything, but if it helps my injectors in the long run, it is definitely worth it" to "I definitely noticed an improvement at idle and below 2000 RPM's". In other words I have not heard a negative statement from those who have actually done it. Same goes for the DI kit.

I have seen, installed and sold them, they are worth it and HIGHLY recomend it to anyone. Its one of my most recommended things for a 99+ PSD owner.

Bob Riley (dieselsite)has a new one out. Most of his stuff is very nice so I think this will be also. I am waiting for someone to try it

I just got one from Diesel Innovations. Got the cross-over, hp fuel delivery system, and the regulated return. Haven't checked mileage yet but it's a lot quiter and the throttle response is noticably snappier.
