Lookin great Greg, yes take the gate out of the shfter before you put it in. Less shavings in the works if you do.

Nice call on the seat heaters Crinco. I like that idea.

Hey Greg, I see you're running the E2000 fuel pump. Are you going to run a regulator with that or is a little extra pressure ok?

Yep, the 5.3 has a regulator on the fuel rail. There's also a return line for the excess fuel.

SUWEEEEEET. I guess I'll order an E2000.

I'm still planning on being in Moab for EJS this year with the TJ. There will be a lot of progress to report soon enough.

Yup, first one lasted 5ish months, second one lasted one or two trips.

Confused here. Why in the tank? Is there an issue with the pump overheating? Mine will have an in-line frame mount.

The E2000 pump is a pusher pump (which most inline pumps are) and needs to either be gravity fed or installed in the tank where it is submerged and in effect gravity fed.

Thanks, that helps. Sorry for the hijack. Back to your regularly scheduled RME TJ build update.

The first one that came in the MOPAR Fuel Injection kit died right away, so I bought the E2000. Mine is inline for five years, same pump. I have a big 4" round by 6" long filter before it, so that may be the helper on mine. I still carry a spare though.

I just read your post on Pirate that your GripGuru link takes you to. How impressive. Keep up the good work. I'm going to keep watching your progress.
