use a real regulator

 

Sorry guys, blew my knee out yesterday so I'm bed/ wheelchair ridden waiting on the surgeon to figure out what to do. Don't know how long I'll be down at this point. Leg is locked half bent and am in severe constant pain. Hopefully surgery sometime next week for some relief then ???? recovery. Poor wife is struggling trying to handle our two little (very high maintenance) ones completely on her own.

I'll update... when I'm able.

 

I know the feeling. Broke my knee last nov, then again in jan. 2 knee surgeries in 2 months. Its not horrible.

 

You want to clarify that or should the other mods?

Sorry to hear about the knee man, home boy ever come get his truck?

 

Broken knee is a broken knee no matter how stupid the story is behind it. I will clarify that my problem is a broken patella, so i doubt its as bad as a knee joint.

Off to physical therapy now!

 

Nope Wednesday night was my last big night to wrench on it and me knee failed at 3:00 Wednesday. Tuesday night I snatched the old noisy Eaton rear end out, cut one perch off the new 12 bolt, relocated it and tacked it in place. Battery died in my welding hood so I quit for the night. Wednesday night I needed to remove and relocate the other perch, final weld them both, bolt it under the truck and modify the panhard bar then hope the brake lines I built for the Eaton fit the 12 bolt and hope the driveshaft length will work with the 12 bolt. I was going to drive it to work Thursday and as low by as the trip went well, straighten out the fuel system issue, watch fuel trims in case I needed to do any calibrating for the drop in pressure and go over everything closely so the truck could make a 4 hour trip back to its home Friday.

Because of my knee, I didn't even get a new battery for my hood

 

So I've hired a close friend to help me finish this thing up since I can't do anything physical for a while. Last night he swapped in a WIX filter/ regulator and that took care of the high pressure issue. It's 58 psi all the time now. Thanks for the help guys! No question about it, even though the filter wasn't designed for it, it will handle a 255 lph pump no problem.
