Ahhh ok thats what i was wondering man. I might put that on the truck then instead of the stock pump. Now if i was to go the route of the A1000 and get rid of the stock rasil pump and the fuel filter on top of the engine what whould regulate the fuel pressure and what would i do for fuel return lines? Or does a 6.0 have fuel return lines? Sorry for all the questions but im not very familiar with this part of the fuel system. And also if using the A1000 would it be able to hold 65psi under load? Thanks for the info man. Im just trying to figure out the best route to go for my needs and budget.

 

The only thing... if you go that route you'll need to go through the top filter housing, since that's where your regulator is. The only way to bypass that is to add a regulated return. Dozers Diesel is having a sale on RR's right now, I believe the stage 1 RR is $400. It all adds up... haha. You can just do the A1000 and run it into the stock filter housing though, not a big deal. Then when you're ready to upgrade but a RR. Right now fuel enters the fuel bowl, through the filter and the spring is what regualtes the fuel, so some fuel goes to the heads, the rest of it back to the stock filter housing and then to the tank. I believe it only runs through the filter housing because it used to be heated in the pre 05 trucks. They've since done away with the heater, but didn't want to add the cost of re-routing the return fuel.

I still think the fuel lab/A1000 is your best option, you've already got a good lift pump.

OH, and Dozers has 4 A1000's on the shelf, selling for $300 shipped, today ONLY!

 

Ok so all I have to do is take the rail mount pump off and hook the likes up to the A1000? And from what i read on their site i need to buy a regulator to get 65psi from the pump. or will my "blue spring" do that job untill i get a regulated return? And dang i wish i had $300 right now because i would scoop that thing up asap.

 

The OEM "regulated return" (the blue spring) sucks. Plain and simple, it's a crummy way to maintain pressure. It would work, but it's not ideal. A true RR is the way to go IMO, but obviously money permits us from doing everything the ideal way most of the time. I don't see why you couldn't put the A1000 on to your current system and just let the blue spring do it's thing, it's still regulating pressure, though not the best way.

I'm tempted to pick one up myself at that price... but it's x-mas shopping time haha

 

Yea man you hit the nail on the head with them money permitting us from doing exactly what we want all the time. I think for now im just going to get either the stock pump or the A1000 and just run the blue spring. I have a deployment coming up and the wife said get me a build sheet of what you want and she gonna take the truck to my builder and have it done up. So im gonna get the RR, new tunes from gearhead and the hybrid turbo from Mad Turbo Werks. And the Edge Insight CS with egt probe. And this is the main thing holding me back on just grabbing a stock pump but dang i need to do something soon. Anyways man thanks for all the info now i have to just make my decision.

 

My vote would probably be just get a stock pump and save your money to do the A1000 and RR at the same time. Way less of a headache this way too.

 

Yea I am leaning that way too. Just would be nice to get everything at once. But you know how that goes.
