2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fass II...My Observations

[chazj]

After much deliberation & questions asked/answered here, I had the Fass II installed yesterday. My initial observations were 1) FP at idle was 14. 5- 15 lbs (have a 15 lb gauge) 2) Truck appears to run around 15. 5 - 16 lbs. Never dropped below 15 lbs. upon acceleration and actually "seemed" to increase (as much as I could tell) on WOT. 3) EGT's seemed to run about 50 degrees-75 degrees COOLER than before... . if this makes any sense. 4) Response from the CTD also appeared to be faster than previously experiences.



Do have 1 question... Driving in winter conditions, I can see the Fass becoming coated with the sand/salt mixtures that are very much a part of winter life here. Is the Fass "watertight" enough to withstand being washed by the wand at the carwash when cleaning the undercarriage of the truck?? OR would it be permissible to cover the Fass with a "plastic baggy" or similar material during the winter months to keep the unit clean or does it need air circulation around it????



Inital First Impression: Very Positive!!!

i also would like to know this , i hope diesel dan or someone will let us know. i just put a fass 150 pump on , just the pump itself , i still use the factory filter with the new 7 micron filter . .

The current pumps/motors we are using should be just fine with any road moisture and pressure wash. They use O-rings on boths ends to keep anything from getting into the body of the motor. No brush caps to leak like the first released units. If you have one of the first units, Seal the caps with Silicone or some sort of grease. This will keep them dry and happy.



I would let the air do its job... dont put anything over the unit... .

Thank You Dan for the info!!!



I asked if I had the newer version of Fass & was told I did. So will maintain & keep clean thru winter as you suggested.



Warrenty also mailed in and hope that I never need to use it. Still very happy with the unit...
