Right when things start to get juicy, this forum craps out. Seems to be better in Tapatalk.

This site has been a let down for weeks. I’ll get an email that tells me there is a new post in the threads that I’m subscribed to. I’ll go to that thread using the link in the email and it won’t show a post for the past 10 days. I know there’s a new post because I can read it in my email. I have been able to make a comment in that thread and log out of the site, log back in and it will catch the thread up. This has been in a variety of threads that I’ve noticed the problem.

Still seems OK for me since I cleared my cache.

Truck stuff. I now have everything I need to complete the return fuel system. So when I get back home on Friday, I'll drop the tank and get it finished up and the regulator set.

Went for another blast tonight, this thing is fun.

One change that I wanted to highlight, that was a awesome bang for the buck...

I swapped out the original front sway bar bushings for moog poly bushings. I wasn't expecting a hole lot of difference, but was pleasantly surprised.

They tightened up the front end more than I thought and really improved turn-in. For a cheap mod, I highly suggest if you are into handling improvements.

I’m super stoked to see where this build is headed. Lots of cool stuff going on here. Nice job Ryan

Looking great my friend. Impressive list you’ve compiled along the way. Think mine looks something similar, from what I remember when I last saw the truck!

Stock turbo. 2019 custom fit. Little different.

I was referring to most everything else besides the EFR kit.

How will your run return fuel system when noone makes a hat for the f150 yet? If ytou're modifying the stock hat I will be interested to see how this works, on other vehicles it always seemed to be problematic.

I would no longer recommend stifflers traction bars (I thought you had a 15+? anyways).

I think they are pretty close! I would like to lift, but doubt it as the truck wouldn’t fit through the garage door.

Mine actually fit with about 1/4”-1/2” to spare

It's pretty easy to mod the stock hat.

In my case, I take the stock hat, remove the stock Fuel pump and regulator.

Add a 90* elbow fitting right to the top of the hat. This serves as the connection for the new fuel pump.

Line goes directly from new pump to new fitting. A new -8 line connects from the new fitting to the new Filter I installed by the EVAP box.

Line goes from Filter directly to Radium regulator. Regulated fuel to HPFP.

I moved the OEM fuel line to the "return" side of the regulator. This then connects back to the hat at it's original connector. Under the hat, I have added a line that dumps the returned fuel back into the tank.

So, a new connection at the hat, new line to feed fuel and then the OEM line becomes the return line. Easy Peasy.

Why no on the Sifflers? My truck is a 2014.

Modding your hat from flat beak to curved? But seriously what is the HAT that you refer to? And is that the real name for it?

Glad to hear things are going in the right direction.

Get VAS traction bars, they are pretty dang awesome

stifflers:

pros-right set up, meaning the bar goes all the way to frame.
they work great becasue this set up
-they are tucked up higher than other companies so you dont loose ground clearance

CONS-
for my tremor the bars were too long placing the nuts inside the brackets, i had to make a custom wrench to tighten the nuts, which i still use (you wont have this problem). Initially they told me to just have the bar ends milled slightly so they would be shorter so the nut would be outside the bracket.
-the bracket and bar have rust on them even being power coated from stifflers and the paint is falling off
-the end joints all rusted and completely froze on mine. I had to buy replacements from them just this year for 100$. It was a slight discount but i still had to. They are using a new manufacture now and said thee are better. They said salt from road should not hurt these. I only made it one winter.
-with these freezing and a combo of the front brackets loosening (tighten those a lot more than 85ft lbs per instructions) I drove around forever with so much clacking and squeaking. The brackets were moving up and down slightly rubbing the frame causing the squeal (and rubbing through the factory e coat). The rusted/frozen end links were making the loud bangs going around corners.
-you do have to drill frame. I sray fluid film on the now rubbed through frame and the hole i drilled to prevent rusting.

So far the new hardware is a lot better, no noise. So hopefully it stays this way.



FOr the hat, you are drilling and tapping the plastic? What about the basket? Im not sure of this. I have some fuel plans for this year talking to some places. Just gotta be patient.

 

[MAXXPAY]

Wish I could provide input on the Stifflers but I didn’t get to even drive the truck once they were on. Sometime in the future perhaps.

I’ve never heard anybody with the problems as @WooBoost. I’ll say I’m sure hoping I don’t go through the same. I’m in FL so I don’t have the salt to worry about. Definitely a straightforward install for myself. Under 3 hours from start to finish

It's the Fuel Pump Assembly that is in the tank. I always called it a "Basket", but apparently it's a hat in the Eco world.
