Hi Folks,
Excellent web site. I've owned my 2005 GMC DURAMAX 3500 Crew Cab Dually since new and never had any issues with the truck save oil changes, brakes, etc. Well, when it rains it pours. First, last year I had to install all new brake lines...Wow! That was a very time consuming job, but all worked well. So, now it's the fuel lines, so I ordered the Dorman stainless steel kit and the fuel cooler. Very nice kit purchased through Rock Auto which by the way was the cheapest; I paid $407.00 for the SS lines, fuel cooler and the fuel line disconnect tool. Saved over $200.00 compared to most other outlets.
Okay, so I removed all the old lines and cooler; simple enough. However, I am having one heck of a time installing the front section of the new line. I dropped the front drive shaft which allowed for more room, but no matter how I position the new front section, the line will not run up to the fuel line connectors on the driver's side just below the intake manifold. There is a bracket (holds the line secure on the driver's side of the block) that hinders install too, but that bracket can't be removed from the line; well it could, but it is permanent from the factory. See pics please.
I am wondering if anyone else has installed this kit on their 2001-2010 truck and solved this problem.
I was thinking I could drop the transmission oil pan to allow more space to jockey the line in position, but I'm not ready for that yet. I'm gonna sleep on this issue and try again at day break.
Thanks in advance and again excellent web site.
