yea please help...i cust the fuel line and used a 2 clamps and rubber hose. its fine for the lines going into the fuel filter but the line for the filter into the intake is all messed up so i need to fix that. plus my trans cooler lines are bent to hell. i want to replace them with the steel braided hose.

OK, so after searching and SEARCHING for my old receipts from jegs for my fuel stuff, I gave up. I even logged onto jegs and they dont have any of my order history from when I ordered all those fittings so I cant get any PNs for you :-(. I will suggest 2 things. If you do use stainless braided line, go to your hardware store and buy a cable/hose cutter. It looks like a pair of shears you would use on bushes for landscaping, but its made to cut cable and hose, and it worked awesome for me. No burrs from the steel or anything, just a good clean cut. And for the parts, I would just call Russel up and tell them what you are doing, there fittings worked great for me with no leaks and easy install. You can either use reg wrenches on their lines or they do have a special wrench that wont gouge up the fitting (basically a line wrench). Hope some of this helps you

Agreed on the hose cutter...to cut mine I used a sharp chisel and a hammer. Wrap where you want to cut in electrical tape, place hose on metal and hammer away.
Wouldn't recommend it lol

Lmao hey whatever works. You don't even want to know some of the things I have used for tools in the past. The most recent incident included a level, wheel bearing grease, 2 clamps used for glueing wood together, and a lot of swearing

i was following another members build on here a few months ago. iwas going to use the schoenfeilds but they dont fit 4x4's. the pacesetters work great i just had to do some caveman fabrication on the driver side lol..but other than that they fit great!

yea i saw that as well. it put the air cleaner iin the same location as the stock one for these trucks. less that $100 is great but i dont think that was for the k&n filter tho. i would like to keep my battery in the stock location im just trying to figure out how to run the cables. any idea on how to do this?? i think positive cable goes to battery starter alternator and fuse block. negative to frame and body? also where are you guys grounding the starter?

You don't want a K&N filter anyways. The oiled filters have a tendency to foul the MAF. Get a cleanable/reusable dry filter.
