I went to Pheonix yesterday to see the Mighty Fred Swanson. Got my DD pusher pump installed to help fuel the injectors I put in last month. What a difference. Boost is up, and SOP meter is better. Fred did swindle my Prototype EZ (from last winter) with the level 6 setting from me so on level 4 ( his wimpy box) it feels the same as mine on 6. I cant wait for a turbo. Freds truck pulls hard as he wants and never hits 1250*. This DD stuff is just getting better with time... . Can't wait til the Juice come out from Edge. I will have to have a turbo then... . :D
 
Ready for the questions?

Greg,



How difficult is the install?

Does the pump make much noise?

If you have a gauge what is the pressure diffrence?

You said you feel more power now than before the pusher pump?



Thanks

Greg, what were your impressions of the kit overall? Does it replace the stock line all the way back to the tank so at no point is there anything smaller than 1/2" ID?

Good to hear. I've pretty much decide that I'm going with all DD stuff this time around and I'm going to let them (or one of their installers) put it all in. I spent way too much time doing injectors on my 98 and I don't want to screw with it again.
 
With the DD kit you snip the line at the frame rail right next to the tank. Then run a short piece of the supplied line to the 4601 which is mounted on the inboard side of the frame at approximately where the front of the fuel tank is. The kit includes a custom little wire loom that plugs in to the same plug your old lift pump did. You then take some more of the supplied line and run it up to where the stock lift pump is. That gets pulled and you put a custom piece designed to fit where the lift pump was with an AN fitting and attach your hose coming from the pump. At the bottom of the filter you pull that banjo and the one on the cp3 and that line is replaced with another piece of the supplied hose and AN fittings. If you have a fuel pressure gauge you are likely using one of those points for your sender. I went down to NAPA and got a tee and some fittings and installed my sender in between the fuel filter and the cp3. Its been a while since I installed mine and I might of forgot something but thats pretty much all there is to it. Its an easy install. Only tools the average guy might not have would be an inch lb torque wrench and its easier to drill the holes for the pump mounting bracket with a right angle drill. That sucker is loud on a 3g. The three sounds you hear in my cab are the engine sound, exhaust sound and the fuel pump and all are about equal. Mine now runs at 13 to 15 in normal driving around and pulls down to 6 to 8 at max flog. Its a good kit that is well thought out.
 
I don't like the sound of the extra noise. Do you have it mounted on rubber isolators so it doesn't transfer noise through the frame?



So far I have no problems with pressure, but an Edge Juice might change that :(
 
Yep, tried the stock isolaters and also went and got some beefier ones to see if it would make a difference in sound volume. It didnt. You will hear this thing at idle or cruise.
 
Now Im wondering if mine is louder than normal. I can hear it at cruise just fine. As I said at idle it seems about as loud as either the exhaust or the engine sound. In fact my wife never complained about the exhaust but she slammed me on the pusher pump.
 
At an idle mine is very noticable. Not at cruise. But I have five inch exhaust and it is LOUD!!!! Plus I am always running around flat footed so it is even LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!!
