dont waste your money. these things arent needed on a street truck imo. the fuel losses to much velocity with a stock to mild pump. they can be affective on a truck with LOTS of fuel but thats usually on pullers or racers.

I completely disagree...on a 24V engine 1/2" fuel line and eliminating the banjo bolts goes a long way to delievering much needed lubrication and cooling to the VP44. This is not about performance - its about keeping the injector pump happy.

bigred01 - did you not get a 1/2" line kit with your Airdog?


Many of the hi performance guys are going bigger than 1/2" (ie, 5/8")

I know Pure Diesel Power has them and connector tubes, but I'm not too sure about them improving performance.

Like posted, stick with the stock stuff until you have some crazy huge power planned.
