Looks sweet Triton, How long did the install take for the FS2500, and how difficult was it? When I buy my replacement for my '01 that rolled on the 30th I am seriously thinking about buying one of their setups after I relocate to the Phoenix area.

I waited until I was ready to change my oil. I drained the oil and let it sit until I got the filter installed.
I bolted on the bracket, mounted the filter and ran the hoses. One goes to the oil pan or like where I put my return.. to the valve cover cap. The other goes to the port on top of the OEM filter location.
I just figured out which AN fittings I needed, ordered some custom cut SS line and the rest is history ;-)
The kits can and do come with JIC fittings and rubber hose or they come with SS hose. Not like what I used but, never the less it's SS. The kits range in price depending on which route you want to go.

That setup looks sweet. I like the look of your connections and stainless hose. I can understand why you spent the extra money..
When did you go to the arc flow? What did you do with the CFM intake? If youstill have itand it works on the 04, let me know if you would like to get rid of it. I can't remember if it works for mine or not, I haven't looked for a while.

Thanks guys. Just trying to help with ideas for others ;-)
changing is as easy as unscrewing the bolt in the middle of the top and the housing drops out from under it. There's plenty of room on the battery side for it to come right out :-)
that's a bit of tricky maneuvering for sure. There's still enough room between the master cylinder and the back of the intake for me to reach in to unscrew the lid. From there I can just drop it under the truck ;-)
Didn't do a dry run but, it's just about how I did it recently when I installed the walbro. You're right though...... with just the CFM it wouldn't have been a problem.
I've had it for a while now. I figured while I was in there installing the oil filter, I might as well give the ATS a shot. Plus, I had it powder coated and wanted to see how that looked.
Thanks for the offer but, I'm going to hold onto the CFM. I'm sure it would work on your truck, I just don't want to sell it at the moment ;-)
Mayfair - Everything looks sweet, but I'm curious as to how you go about changing the aftermarket filter. Is there enough room to spn that thing off ??
steve05ram360 - Sweet setup Triton... what about swapping out the fuel filter? I usually go under my Arc Flo with one arm during the swap to get the wrench going... did you do a dry run of sorts to see if you have enough room?
