Just wanted to know if anyone has done an install on the 2011 trucks? I took my nicktane/KD lift pump setup off the 2003 and was thinking about installing it on the 2011. When I looked to the area where this would be installed, one of the bed cross members is not open at the end so I cannot get bolts or nuts in there. How are people mounting the bracket on these?? Not sure if it is worth the effort and if I should just put the whole setup for sale and just stay stock. It runs so good I'm almost afraid to mess with it. :cool:

Any info would be appreciated.

I have a LML and I'd like to know too.

they mount it the same way they do on a LMM - they drill a hole to slip the bolt or nut through. that crossmember has been closed for a few years now but it doesn't stop people.

Gotcha, thanks for that info. Now I just have to see if I am one of the lucky ones with the 12mm or 1/2" quick connect fitting. Is there an easy way to distinguish between the two?

Well, I went ahead and did the install over the weekend. Not too bad. The best part was, no disconnect tool needed to get the fuel line off!! There are clips that hold the line on, pop the clips out with a small screw driver and the line comes right off. Nice! Only thing is, you will need to drop the tank about 5" or so to get the OEM fuel line out. It is contoured under and around a frame crossmember so you can't just pull it out or slide it out. There was plenty of room to work under the truck thanks to the fact that there is no muffler in the way. Didn't have to pull the driveshaft either.

I did the 1" hole thing the get the bolts into the crossmember, and cut slots into the bottom of the bolt so I could hold the bolt from turning with a screwdriver while tightening the lock nuts. I have the "old" setup with the CAT head and the first style bracket so it was a bit tight to fit everything in there with the filler vent and filler hose in the area.

KD pump went in just fine, I don't know where 'STUD B' is on these new trucks, but there were two screw down terminals at the front of the underhood fuse panel that both had 12 volts constant so I connected up to the larger one for my 'Bat' connection. Then connected up to the 15 amp IGN fuse for my switched source. I ended up pulling the drivers side wheel well to get access to the plug on top of the oil filter housing for the oil pressure switch. This gave me perfect access to the entire area.

Here are some pics of the install and fuel line.
