HAMMER DOWN!
It's been a while since I've been on here haha.
So for those that forgot or those that are new I'll re-cap......a couple years ago i got rid of my factory lift pump in favor of an electric one. I decided on a stock 7.3 sd pump. Well since it pushes way more fuel than our injection pumps like i needed to use a bypass style regulator. I took the return side of the regulator and tee'd into the factory return line. While the engine ran fine, it still was not the way to go as it was backfeeding into the ip and causing issues there. So i went and got a 5-7psi carter pump and was on my way with no more issues. Fast forward to now and the lift pump was starting to get pissy with me. I had done some research and found that if i ran a dual filter set up i could put the return from the regulator into one of the inlets on the filter heads. So that is exactly what i did and it works great. Zero pressure drop even under wot and it even seems to run a bit stronger.
