    Found the vent tube assembly from Ford for the broken vent tube I made on Friday. $102 later and it'll be here Wednesday. Yeesh

    Kind of remind me of the 295/45 R20 Hankook tires that I current have. What is the treadwear count on those? I like the pattern.

    Well wired the second pump in today. Finally had time after this busy work week to take half a day and do it. My neighbor let me borrow his transmission jack so I could lower the tank down easier. I had to run to the auto parts store for fuel line, hose clamps, 18awg wire, butt connectors and zip ties. Took the blue feed out from the passenger fuse panel where it wasn't getting a signal to all the way back to the tank and in the trigger wire for the fuel pump. This way both pumps will run the same at the same time and at about half their duty cycle. Ive already noticed I went from 500 miles to e on a tank to now 600miles on a tank. My mpg went from a solid 12.6mpg on the highway going 70-75 to now 16mpg+ :bananadance:



    At wot it doesn't sputter as much which might mean I need to increase the fuel pressure regulator from 62 to 90psi. But overall it's doing way better just from my initial testing. I'll need to datalog this and see what the numbers say.

    called a posi tap. My engine builder tipped me onto them and apparently they’re big in the motorcycle world. Cost me $10 on Amazon for an assortment pack of six.

    Not too bad. Have meetings most of the day but shouldnt be bad. Weekend was good for the most part. Fixed the second pump on the truck, adjusted the rev/mile for my new tires and fixed the vent tube connector on the tank. So far all is looking good. Gotten better mpg and longer on a tank of gas. I went from about 500 miles to e to 600+ miles to e. Sunday wasnt too bad. Went to church in the morning and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon.

    Just need to datalog some more and send it off to the tuner for a revision.

    Awesome very productive weekend I’m excited to see how it runs when it’s 100% dialed in.

    Me too. Already driving it when it does a good pull at 50% pedal it pulls really really good. I cant wait until it's working perfectly. I think I am going to drop the truck with a 3/5 drop and airbags on the rear leafs.
