wayno Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Did u keep the smog canister? I jumped the lines right before it I connected to the line after I bent it up close to the master brake cylinder, as I have dual SUs, then where it is supposed to connect into the vacuum separator inside the cover in front of the driverside rear fender well, I connected a longer hose that went straight to the fitting on the top front of the tank. You can see the two hoses that are on the left side of this photo below, the far left hose comes off the fuel pressure regulator and is connected to that vapor emissions line that goes to that separator system in the box.

datson4life Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 whatever the line that leads to the small black tank inside driver side fender in the truck's bed, i used the lines off of that, but i ditched the tank and put lines together right under it cause it leads to top of fuel tank Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I disconnected all of smog crap and ran the return line to that return vent,works like a champ. 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Its up on jackstands, when i start it in neutral the back wheels spin, is that normal? It can do that, but it will not spin full speed, just a little bit of spin, and if you pull the e-brake on it will not spin at all. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Its up on jackstands, when i start it in neutral the back wheels spin, is that normal? What's not normal is trying to drive your truck on jack stands.hahahahahahahaha Quote Link to comment
