Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Synopsis of stock LP move 2002 3500 auto

[rweis]

Objective: Move stock LP to a location back by the stock fuel tank and replace factory fule lines to the greatest extent possible.



I am not going to go through the literally hundreds of threads and pros and cons of why or why not.



My level of mechanical expertise is probably about average. Average set of tools, not a mechanic by trade.



When I finished the post it was way to long. Email me and I will send it to you. It is basically what I learned, how I did different task, what I used as parts, and difficulties I encountered.



The purpose is to discribe what I did and why so you can take that for what it is worth if you are going to do the same. It is written from a "how I did mine" perspective.

That is exactly what I did. The LP is now above the aft XFERcase support cross member. I used a 3/8 swage fitting to splice into the factory stainless line leading from the fuel tank, and used half of the factory LP mounting bracket to mount the LPP to the frame. The other half is back on the engine block covering up the hole. I used Aeroquip socketless hose and -6 fittings everywhere.



preasures are 15 psi at idle and 10-12 WOT. I have a jegs 1 1/8" 0-30 psi gauge on the fuel side of the Autometer isolator for the days when it is too cold for the isolator diaphragm to move.
