I have mine set up at 5 seconds.
UPDATE, NOW SET TO 60 SECONDS FOR RETURN SYSTEM. THAT WAY COOL FUEL IS CYCLED UP TO FUEL RAIL.

Does the green/white wire run back to the trunk? Getting to the FSCM under the rear seat quarter panel is almost impossible for me with the roll bar installed.

The Grn/Wht wire goes from the ECM to the FPCM to control the fuel pump relay in the FPCM. The only wires in the truck fuse panel are power.

Go to pin 50 on the ECM X1 plug. That should be the Grn/Wht.

There are also other connectors between the ECM and FPCM you might be able to tap a little closer to your duals.

Of course disconnect your negative battery cable and let sit for a few before disconnecting.

I tried texting the info to you

Got the text, Thank You!

I should be able to tap into the green/white wire in the passenger door jam, that helps allot!

Got the trailing arm and rear cradle bushings installed. I drilled and tapped the knuckle and installed zerk fittings for the trailing arm bushings.
For the cradle bushings, I did find that using a prybar to remove the cradle bushing covers before heating the cradle and removing the old bushings works best. Lubed up the new bushings with super lube to help install them and eliminate squeaks. Also, the BMR pins have a champer on one end (insert that end), l used a piece of 2x4 and the floor jack to push the aft pins into place, front ones went right in. Also, you need to remove the sway bar bolts on the side you are pushing the rear bushing out, it will hit otherwise. Also, a cargo strap makes aligning up the rear pin into the new bushing allot easier!
Tomorrow will get the new BMR lower control arms installed, had to drill and tap them for the mag ride sensor studs.

***If I have time will get the fuel pumps swapped out in the fuel tank, 3rd fuel pump removed… I am leaving the shut off valve, gives me an easy way to drain the fuel tank for maintenance.

Bring it down! Then you can help me do mine

Got the McLeod in today. I was surprised the pedal was as hard to push as it was.
Feels like 30% more.
The driveshaft loop you recommended worked and fit great once I fixed the fact the drive coupler bolt was smacking the hell out of it.

If you are serious, we will have to get together!

Glad you got the clutch in and got the loop figured out! Is it the RST STREET TWIN? I did not see a video for the install on your youtube channel.

Lower control arms are installed, all suspension is hooked back up and torqued. Glad to have that behind me! Once I get the new Holley dual fuel pump installed and set up will get an alignment done.
