Its about time to replace the old/new system, but gotta ask some ??'s. How hard is it to install? Will it move the pump to the frame rail? What else will i need??

Are you doing the DIY kit or the GDP Kit? And yess it mounts to the frame

tritont

you'll be very surprised how easy GDP kits are to install. Richard is a great guy and if you have any problems at all with your install, he's right there to help. You can also find a number of threads on the very subject too.

Very easy kit to install the only problem with the 05-07 is having to drop the tanks to install the draw straw. Just make sure you run the fuel down a little before you install. Recomend you get the full kit from Glacier or this site. Kit comes with everything you need and great intructions. Install takes about 3-4 hrs depending on skill level.

whats the difference between the DIY and GDP??

How do you water proof the pump connections? I can see driving through a pothole of water and washing out the connections.

tritont

he's my DIY based on GDP's kit. DIY take's time to figure out what fittings you need, what size they are and where to get them from. GDP's kit is done for you and have everything needed to do the job. Plus you have the security of knowing Richard is there to help if needed.

GDP is also selling his new kit ( the Fuel Boss ) which is a belt driven mechanical pump. No more need for a constant on pump. It feeds as the RPM's rise.

For the connections on the pump, it's not really necessary to put anything on them but, I used some RTV myself.

I had a local shop do mine, but the kit has worked good for me. never let me down. I cant say the same things about a fass pump. the glacier is very quiet, which I like also

Price is the big thing... I did a write up on the DIY kit and 1/2 the amount it costs into it. I spent just over $250 when the GDP kit is $500

Here is a link to the write up

Can anyone take the picture that tritont posted and label what every thing is. It would answer a few questions I had from the diy write up that was just posted. I thought the write up was very helpful just a few unanswered question. If no one can do it that is fine. That is just a great picture to have label every thing that is their and were it all goes. Thanks for your time Chad

here's a little write up I did on my install. Not near as detailed as 8mpg's but may help you some.

Personally I would get the new Fuel Boss Kit with the mechanical pump. You can't go wrong with either tho... His customer service is beyond excellent.

tritont

Have you installed yours yet Luken ? I got one from Richard also but, there will be a little delay in getting it installed

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

Thank you tritont that answered a lot of questions and 8mpg's was a great write up it just needed that picture with the labels to be complete. Thanks again Chad
