With it being 74 degrees outside I wasn't going to waste any time today. First thing on the list, install my Summit Racing fuel psi gauge assembly I built last week using a brass 3-way tee, 2 brass nipples and of course the gauge itself. Mission success on all fronts, it looks good, it works and it doesn't leak.

Truck idles at the proper 33psi according to the FSM. Total cost was about $30 for all the materials including the gauge with shipping. I didn't cut the factory hose, I added about 3 inches of 5/16" fuel hose to the filter.

Then it was time for a family photo. The gray retired winter beater didn't make it to the pic sadly (too full of yard crap at the moment). Here's the fleet!

The rest of the time was organizing the garage and killing lady bugs.

Those kind of temps I dont blame you. Cool pressure gauge.
FYI-If you ever degrease your engine dont spray on the gauge. The cover doesnt like it at all. Mine slowly melted.

Rev, that hardbody is just begging for a two inch drop. Order your bump stops and blocks and just do it, you wont regret it :)

I have everything sitting here in the living room, just waiting for my week off in May to get it all installed.
