They probably dont make the kits in the first place, do they? Remember, PPE is a reseller of a lot of other people's ideas and parts, just with PPE's name stamped on them.

Not that I am trying to be a complete assclown, but arent you 16yrs old? I would like to think PPE would see it wise to be represented here by someone with more intimate knowledge of their parts and systems.

No kidding? Well, thats one on me. Didnt know you were working there.
I sure hope that post earlier about wishing hellafast was still around and that he was a "good guy" were kidding...because he sure as hell wasnt.

I would say you guys with PPE problems need to consult PPE over the phone, via PM's or email just before slamming them on the net. If you have a problem with PPE please start a new thead if nothing else and not smoke up this thread with your personal problems! Thanks, Eric
X2!i dont have much to add about dual fuelers at all, but if you are shredding belts, put an OEM tensioner on. i had problems shredding belts at high rpm's for months....went through 3 napa/autozone brand tensioners and 2 sets of idlers before i broke down and dropped the $$$ at GM for an OEM tensioner.......havent had an issue since. So it might be worth a try to just put a OEM tensioner on. it fixed all my problems
Your tensioner is weak. Ive done the "lose brakes/steering" at the end of the track due to a shredded belt on an old tensioner/idlers. Boy, is THAT fun.
IMO, even new tensioners can have springs too weak to hold the belts tight at higher rpms.
I may not have dual CP3s, but I can tell you that my belt moves 1-2 ribs every run down the track. Its the first thing I check when I get back to the pits. So yes, it can and does happen.
....not that any of that can help you with the PPE issues, but I thought it may be of interest.
i had to do the same thing till i got an OEM tensioner.
I have to disagree with your comment about customer service, but that in MY opinon. We/I am here to help, if you would let us.OEM tensioners may be tighter than the majority of aftermarket tensioners, but not one of them. The Dayco auto-adjusting tensioner is an expensive piece but it has solved the belt issues on a few trucks that I know of, one being Dylan's (you remember him right Dan?) before he even put on the junky Dual CP3 kit he had belt issues during hard acceleration. He went through oem tensioners, and aftermarket alike and couldn't solve it, he found this Dayco one and it has been great ever since. After running dual CP3's he still hasnt lost a belt yet, but we have had issues with the PPE kit as have some of our friends, and we have had words with Dan. I don't know who makes a better kit these days, all companies are making them cheaper and care less and less about each customer, but I have become a proponent of "if you want it done right, sometimes you gotta do it yourself."
So it seems like adding a 2nd cp3 is kind of hit or miss as far as getting a good kit or not? Would it be more beneficial doing a single cp3 that is say 100% over or so? Or would you still fight the belt issues at higher rpms?
Exactly! I want to know why something that costs 2k has to be "shimmed "get anyways. Are they just that damn lazy that they can't just make the bracket right to start with
Well ill be buying a PPE kit for my truck. wont be running over 3600rpm, have the original GM tentioner and idler with 165k and jsut have something against purple stuff on a black truck . guess we will see what happens. if the kit needs "massaging" or fixing i dont really care, knowing i have two stock pumps that will last a long time are what i care about. I jsut dont see the longevity of a big modded pump lasting the time frame id like
that's only the beginning. Helpful tech support can only come from someone who understands every aspect of the vehicle and how the product works alone, then in conjunction with the vehicle as a whole. If someone was to suggest to you that the reason your Dual Fueler control box maxes out rail pressure, on its own, when plugged in, BECAUSE OF TUNING....would you believe him?
another issue some have had is bad fan clutch pulleys. they wear out too, and are often overlooked. alternators- the same thing.
no if they did they may have a clue on how to fix it...
Im not saying you dont, it is very possible, but so far nobody representing PPE has helped their customers with this issue at hand
That's it, I was going to say that CP3.4 unit, but couldn't remember for sure.
So, do you know if he ever tried it out? If he did, do you know the results?

The only problem with a big single is the internal pressure get real high and sometimes the pumps will grenade.So it seems like adding a 2nd cp3 is kind of hit or miss as far as getting a good kit or not? Would it be more beneficial doing a single cp3 that is say 100% over or so? Or would you still fight the belt issues at higher rpms?
Is it true that PPE now makes their own manifolds after buying ricks and reselling them for years?? None the less he has that market wrapped up, his knowledge when building headers, and desigining manifolds is second to none, cant beat his experience and customer service.
Install the kit, verify the alignment and your set!!! You should have not issues, But if you do I am here to assist!
I help so many people per day its SICK..
