Fuel filter changed out back in June. New pump installed [$116 from Geno's. Cummins pump, although made in China]. Old one was not OEM. No name stamped on it. Neither did the old one have a weep hole, which my new Cummins one does.
It's amazing how much easier it is to prime when the manual primer button actually works! [Edit: Significantly less pumping required, too.] Noticed some rust on the inside of the hard metal line going into the pre-filter. Nothing serious. The exterior looks absolutely fine. Think I just might replace my feed line setup with a single length of hose...

Got to watch my pressure ga. climb to about 24psi before hearing the fuel returning past the OFV. That was neat. Wouldn't do it previously because of the faulty primer button.
Also installed the short Cummins "L" hose between the pre-filter and the lift pump. Wasn't pleased spending 30$ for 4.5" of prebent hose. Was even less pleased that it didn't fit all that well [It bends a bit more than the 90*. Not much, but still...]. It does fit better than that aftermarket piece of junk I replaced, though.
Will try and throw some pics up tomorrow.
