Filter to IP delete 90 question?

[yotekiller]

I feel kinda stupid in a way, got this delete.kit on and truck.fired up and noticed it was leaking at the 90 and was like dang, no matter which way i start the 90 it tightens in that area, now i thought well maybe i needed thread tape .
figured that was a bad idea seeing how i do not want anything sucked into the IP.
The factory 90only screwed in 1/4 that i could tell any further and i will strip threads, in this position its hand snug(im pretty hand strong) i tried starting it at 6oclock; 12oclock 3oclock positions etc
Any advice? Rude comments lol

I'd use thread tape or pipe dope. Just make sure it's only on the threads, and if a little gets in there I'm sure the truck will eat it.

 

[yotekiller]

Thats what we will try and see if it tightens up any. I wouldn't feel so bad if i was completely mechanically inept but geesh..

Thanks Jesus Freak

 

[yotekiller]

Thats a no go still loose. At least the delete kit looks pretty hooked up lol

Little update*
I got ballsy and remembering how the lift pump to.filter head did the same thing i took my crescent wrench and turned that 90 on around and so far no leaks

So, you didn't put a wrench on it until now?
Unless you got 8 inch crescent wrenches for hands, you ain't hand strong enough,lol

Yeah, I assumed you did a bit of wrenching on it. I would have said that to, NPT does need a bit of leverage.

Seeing how the factory 90 was in only so far i took it as that was as far as it would go, didn't want to.screw up any threads by cranking on it. And the way i had it in the pic was tight i just needed to turn it one more turn on around so it would line up.. i was using caution not like i have several filter heads laying around lol.. im beginning to see the needs for a parts building with these things

Hey, since I got my truck 5or 6 yrs ago I've accumulated a bunch of extra stuff for it. Just in case.......ya know.......they don't make these anymore......I've got a couple filter heads myself.

 

[yotekiller]

Also got that new cowl seal on as well..

If you bought the kit from Russ, it is Push-Loc hose,
you do not need Hose Clamps, if you are thinking of installing them.
I had to go out and look at Filter Head to see how it is attached compared to yours. Exactly the same.
I may have used some pipe dope, don`t remember. Yeah, just on the threads so it doesn`t get into the system, especially if you use tape.

X2, can`t have too many spare parts, as these trucks get older and older, won`t be able to find them in the yards to
r a p e parts.
I can see it now, when I kick off and my Daughter/SIL come over to clean out the place... why did Dad have all this junk.
They will haul it off to the Dump.

You have to make sure you will all your junk to a friend.

I thought that through, thinking if a small pc gets sucked in the pump im toast.. it was a simple fix i just needed to do another revolution with the 90.. Thanks again for the kit typ4
