Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) transfer pump to fuel heater question and others

[JPA2002]

Guys, I still cannot get my 95 to run like I want it to, and I will not be able to get gauges for a week or two. I did notice that the fuel line from the transfer pump to the fuel heater is basically kinked really bad? What will this do to the performance of my truck? Will it kill my fuel pressure?



If I put straight exhaust, new intercooler boots, and some other mods on the truck, will I get my truck running correctly again?



80 mph is top speed and that is killing me!



I will be doing the KDP this summer to stop the oil leak.



I have some slack in the front end, what needs to be replaced, how much, and how difficult? I have been mechanicing for years, so there is not much that scares me.



Also I will be adjusting the valves, so how much should I expect from this?



Has anyone purchased one of these exhaust kits off of ebay? Should I go with 4" or 5"?



What will the AFC spring kit do for me? I guess the 3K GSK kit should also be installed? What about the larger turbo housing from TST?



Currently my truck has a #5 plate and the boost elbow(not installed by me), but my truck is not impressing me!



Thanks for everyone's help.

Jon

Did this truck run better at some time in the past? I have been off of the site for a while. I don't think exhaust mods are needed for a while yet, unless your boots are leaking or shot they are probably ok, I have the factory originals and I get 35# of boost with no problem. The 3k springs did a lot for my top end, before my truck wouldn't hit 90mph.

Is your truck 2 wheel drive or 4x4. The gauges will help to tell what is going on.

I am no expert, but I would take a close look at that short hose from the lp to the heater. I changed mine out with a regular piece of fuel line and had to use the factory clamps to keep it round in the bend and use after market clamps at the barbs. If you have a source, get the factory preformed hose. I ordered one at the Dodge dealer, took a couple of days.
