Whats going on guys? Names Paul, I'm from Spring Hill, FL I drive a 2004 2500. I started out doing the whole tuner thing, once I sold my ITR I found a buddy selling his 04 2500 LS crew cab, 4" lift (trail master I believe) on 35's, full MBRP 4" exhaust, and other wise stock. Now this may be hard to believe but I picked the truck up as it sat for 6k. Not in terrible condition. Has its dents and scratches but none really on the cab, mostly on the bed. Definitely needed some TLC though. It had 227,xxx miles on it when I purchased it in January of 2015. Im now up to 260,xxx and still running strong. Since I've owned it I have purchased/replaced the following- 4" MBRP muffler delete, MBRP 3" downpipe, PPE boost valve, EFI live with CTS edge2 Insight, Kennedy Diesel single lift pump w/ an auxiliary filter head just after running a CAT 2 micron filter, among a numerous amount of "looks" items such as LED Cadillac style taillights, tow mirrors, bed caps, headlights etc, also have redone a bunch of wiring I found to have been hacked up involving the radio. The truck has come a long way and I plan to restore it back to its original glory. Currently I am in the process of doing a Mini H1 retrofit into the headlights, currently have the driver one near finished just need to do the passenger one so that I can align them and then seal. They have also been paint matched to the truck (white). Once I have a day off I plan to sit down and take pictures of a step by step DIY for everyone else as I couldn't really find much. Also plan to do a small write up on installing the Kennedy diesel lift pump and auxiliary fuel filter as when searching I couldn't exactly find a good step by step. Overall I love my truck more than any vehicle I've owned, and glad I get to share it with everyone. Pictures will be posted later once I'm home from work.

Welcome.

I know John has a decent set of instructions for installing his pumps, but if you do a nice job, maybe he'd put it in his section for future customers of his to use.

Welcome! I'm looking at Kennedy for several upgrades myself.:thumb:

Welcome, if you tow you might consider one of his fan clutches calibrated for him, read a number of good reviews about them on here and more than likely will install one this "winter" for the upcoming hot summer's we have here in Phoenix...

I don't do much towing with the truck. To be honest don't really use as a truck that often. However it is nice to have when needed, and that being one of the main reasons I got it.
