well iam done, install was easy and simple and iam no problems... truck runs pretty good. i have only logged a few miles so far but the thing i notice the most is that when it shifts out of first into second it keeps pulling like it should. mild throttle so far iam happy.... iam not sure how long the computer needs to re-learn so iam just driving it easy for now. it's my third vehcile so i don't get much drive time. but all in all iam happy with the gain....

Hughes says that it take about 100-200 miles for the PCM to relearn since the injector angles are a bit different then the stock kegger.

@last rights, what kind did you get? One that is a little bigger? Or just different type? I just keep pushing and pushing and can barely get it to the first flare.....

i got it a tad bigger and clamped it on to make sure it satays on , makesure its still a fuel line .because if its just rubbet the gas will eat it and clog your injectors

@ wickedwiggs- I have enough fuel line to bridge your rails.. and it's the right stuff that won't deteriorate and clog an injector, and can handle the 49psi (and then some).. It was given to me for the cost of shipping by another member (Sheriff)..

If you want, I'll pay it forward w/ you as he did for me.. cost of shipping from 25878..

my fuel was too bad, i soaked it in HOT water for awhile then pushed it on. it took some effort but not a huge pain in the butt at all. no leaks is the important part....

Damn I should have logged on earlier, well I went to nappa today and got one slightly larger. It is rubber what do you guys think will this hold up or is this not gonna work? Here is a pic. I slide it down good and tightened good. Still would like some advice?
