i was told they were pretty trashy from the factory. If your worried just pull the pan, or change the oil right after doing it.

lot of grease on it helps. As well as a stepper bit. there pretty good about pulling shaving out of the hole instead of pushing them through.

I did it on the truck the first time and it was fine... The last go-round I pulled the pan and installed the bulkhead fitting with the jam-nut on the back...

I got a billet oil feed plate from WJ MARK and it works great!!! And we all know the ordeal with my drain line I had...

Damn Michael, I thought you paid attention to this stuff better than that

I'm considering just skipping the dual 255 setup and doing a Mangafuel or Aeromotive A1000 and calling it done. So far I've been fine with my single 255/60Lb setup. But it will run out of breath eventually. I'm not really all that worried about dyno numbers on it, but I'd like to think that this setup and maybe a tiny shot could push this truck into a 10.9x?? That's my goal so far... I'm estimating that to be between 750/800rwhp... But that's farther down the road. Probably won't happen for a while.
If your truck is a DD then Don't do it. Pump will burn itself out if it's not pushing enough fuel to cool itself.

yeah, I've heard good and bad... but its not the DD, I've got my S-10 for that...

but the more I look into fueling solutions, the Magnafuel seems to be the way to go for volume and longevity anyway.

Right now, I'm fighting a WOT shifting issue, probably valvebody related. (hopefully anyway) I'm going to go through the valvebody tonight and diagnose what I can and go together with new gaskets and a new seperator plate and cross my fingers. I've been through my tune a million times, I dont think its anything in there... and this thing is supposed to be on the track tomorrow
