Hey guys,
Well i spent 4 hours yesterday installing the Kennedy Diesel dual pump kit and billet pickup and bulkhead kit from SoCal Diesel. It was a pretty straight forward install, I really did not have any issues at all. I do have a few questions. In the sending unit i installed the pickup and and the new piece of 5/8th hose that Kennedy Included in the kit. The So Cal instructions said that the hose should be 9.5 inches long, JK sent one that was 10.5 inches long, i cut it down to what the instructions said, is that OK? also with the new 5/8th's fuel line in the tank the sender really does not move up and down anymore, that hose is just to stiff for it to allow movement, is that fine? it is amazing how much bigger the new fuel pickup is than the stock one. OK, few more, the red light is illumintaed on the kennedy harness and i think the pumps are working, i do not have a fuel pressure gauge to verify but i am assuming they are, the pumps do not get warm after 20 or so miles of testing, should they be warm? i am just trying to verify that they are working. any ideas other than buying the KD pressure gauge?
btw, I am very impressed with the pumps, the mounting bracket, the harness, the pickup, and the bulkhead kit. The install went very smooth, having a 4 post lift and a transmission jack made it very easy. Thanks for the great product JK..
