It sure looks like a small block Chev fuel pump block-off plate would work just as well instead of that bulky stock unit. Has anyone tried this?

Got the oil leak issue worked out... ... simple fix... see other post regarding fuel pump mounting plate..... again... Rip did a great job! No hassles, easy to work with, VERY reasonably priced... I could go on and on about RIP..... As far as the truck... . we haven't had many dry days here...

Thanks CSCOTT!!! That's what I needed to know!

I just had the stock fuel pump on my 2001. 5 4x4 replaced with a PE unit (consistent 20psi!). The new pump is mounted close to the tank. The old pump and mounting bracket has been removed, but there's a gasket remaining. The truck is now seeping a bit of oil, and I'm trying to determine where...

I'm a bit confused about what's being referred to as "sudden lift". If a tractor/trailer is pulling its load up a hill, doesn't the driver shift at max rpm, therefore max boost ?(although I believe you are correct, much lower rpm/boost than we're talking about). And if so, doesn't the driver...

Blow-off Valve What are the "big trucks" doing to control barking? Do any of them use a blow-off valve? Or are they not producing enough boost to have a problem?

Sorry... . I'm new. After further discussion, I'm talking about "barking", not huffing. I've also heard it referred to as "surging". I'm going to take this discussion over to the 24-valve drive-train forum.....

OK... I understand the physics on why turbo-bark happens... but... "Want to avoid backspin? Don't do sudden lifts at high boost pressures. " So. . if I'm drag racing, how do you avoid sudden lifts at high boost pressures? Remember, I'm driving a manual transmission truck. Are you saying I...

I'm interested in bombing my '01 6spd, and since I live in the Portland, OR area, I talked to Rip Rook. I'm looking at an Edge Comp, DDIIs, 4" exhaust, HX40 turbo, AFE intake, guages, pump, clutch, etc... . Rip was kind enough to take me for a ride in his similarly equipped truck, although...
