Nice find and not many miles at all. Is salt used up there?

That's a design problem. There is a LOT of equipment in the wild that uses a clutch, such as about every ag tractor produced since the horse was put out to pasture. ...or semi, etc.

Does anyone use an Air Dog or Raptor without the extra hole drilled in the fuel tank for the recirculation?

I understand the theory behind it with the crank essentially becoming the column but with the supports (bearings) being so close to one another, it seems it would be very difficult to determine a measureable variance over time between a standard setup vs. automatic. No argument on the point but...

Has it been photographed successfully in use?

What was the conclusion on this? I was about to order the Mod Mafia fitting but if it isn't going to fit, then I'll put the $65 elsewhere. @Will L. did you happen to discuss with him further offline in case he doesn't frequent the forum anymore?

Please explain.

You terminated the gremlin

I believe the seat frames are different but I am asking about the motors. Are the power motors from a Suburban seat the same as those in a truck of the same vintage? '97 Suburban into '95 truck for example

Can you rule out all other possibilities by test running with your known good DB2?

Let's just hope the transmission designs dont become victim to bean counter slashes like what happened when GM decided a few corners getting cut on Detroit Diesel's design on a particular diesel V-8 was adequate. Time will tell.

Good decision on the painting. I had my brackets powder coated and it cracked and fell off. I have been blasting and painting as time allows. I just finished my third bracket which was the alternator bracket. I put it back on yesterday. I dont know much about powder coat except that when it...

Only trouble i have heard of is the gauge bouncing with some pumps. I use the Walbro pump from Leroydiesel, incidentally

I am going to use an electrical gauge. I considered one pre-Lift pump and pre-inj pump but I think i will just go with one. Mounting in the overhead console using a mount from @Twisted Steel Performance I have a mechanical but have no plans to mount it at the moment.

I have seen stone snubbers, needle valve types and some other type. I am leaning toward the stone type for a fuel pressure gauge - maybe some sort of orifice?. Any recommendations?
