What about us 14+ DI guys with power adders? I saw that there was to be 14-18 support.

Rick obviously thinks its fine, just like his plastic Y, worm gears and directly adjacent splices

Good feedback. I'll share the photos inside of the bucket when I get it, to give a better idea of the pick up set up. My experience with the plastic hose is that once its heated and installed, it needs very little pressure to stay on. So I don't think the worm clamps are really holding it onto the barb. I get it though, I used the hose clamps on my single 450 install. I plan on installing some type of rubber seal onto the feed supply, much like those found on car batter terminals. Something like this:

I think the bucket opening is the same between the 04-13 trucks. Let me talk to Rick.

I have also been working with Racetronix on a double pumper harness that will allow this set up to be plug and play. 10 gauge feed and supply, hobbs, intermediate harness, and ring terminals for the screw terminals.

Any update or progress on these? I got an 08 5.3 flex fuel I’m looking at doing a single walboro though. Plug and play yet with proper venting?

The bucket shipped on Monday, I should have it today or tomorrow. I worked with Jack at Racetronix and he built a plug and play harness for bucket. It required installing one Metripack connector on the sending unit wires (2) and everything else should bolt up. I'm impressed with Racetronix harness, see photos below. Got the double pumper harness, hobbs interface harness, hobbs, and pre-installed #10 ring terminals.

I plan to take some photos of the install to include the evap and vent line routing.
