send a message to Frank Blum. He has his built as a Post OEM and inside the engine compartment above the power steering pump. Nice rig-up with excellent filtered fuel results. He even has pictures!

I added the racor "oem-approved" frame-mount kit to my 2003 in April of 04. Zero problems with it or injectors (so far). Now at 60K miles......

Racor frame mounted pre-OEM filter from Greg L. Works great. Zero problems.

I have the rear frame mount Racor kit, but it isn't as High Tech as HuffDaddy's...I don't have the primer on mine. I have not had any issues with the filter kit, but I was at about 25,000 miles before I installed it. Hope there wasn't any injector damage up to that point. I have twice lost coolant..about a cup...in the past two years.

While your "hi-tech" comment eludes me I will say that having that primer button sure is handy when doing an element change. Also having it under the hood elleviates the neccessity for a heater installation. It also makes it far simpler to changeout the element then having to crawl under the truck. Also no chance of damage from road crap or the like from the tires. It took me a while to figure where the right place was to install my RACOR, but I found it eventually...........................SWH...
