| Post subject: | Need a Quick Opinion/Verifcation on Parts |
Hey fellas, I am planning on setting a baseline service interval this weekend. Nothing to extreme but looking to help the little tractor make it past my loan payoff date! Here is a list of parts I'm going to treat it to, let me know if I should change brand or missed anything: - Oil Filter: M1 - 301 (for the 7 qt. cap.) Local purchase - Oil: M1 TDT 5w-40 (summer flavor) Local purchase - Air Filter: MANN P/N(MA1041) Local purchase - Fuel Head: P/N(68043089AA) with wiring kit P/N(68043086AB) Ordered 4.10.13 - Samco Boost Hoses: Red with clamp kit - Exhaust: MBRP P/N(S5510409) [straight pipe exhaust is annoying] Ordered 4.10.13 - Speaker: Foam repair kit from eBay Ordered 4.10.13 - Fumoto Valve: F-102 Ordered 4.10.13 - Liftpump: AirTex EM7181M Ordered 4.11.13 - Pins: 54001800 (female) and 54001801 (male) Ordered 4.11.13 - Tool: 5400EXT Ordered 4.11.13 This should be a good start. The following weekend I'll look at upgrading/replacing the remaining fluids. I know I should get the GDE tune also! Still researching which tune I should get. I did verify the TC was upgraded via warranty work in 2008 (extended warranty). Not sure if this is a good one or not. I just hit 70k miles and have had the EGR, transmission and power steering lines, turbo drain line, tie-rods, thermostat, and rear lower control arms replaced before I picked it up. I seem to only be getting 22 MPG with 50/50 hwy (55-65 construction) and city mix. Hopefully the above parts will help a bit. All for now! Thanks, Brian |

Few more questions, would the MANN ML1022 be a better filter than the M1-301? What size copper washer is used for the drain plug? Should I also replace the Mopar fuel filter that comes with the new fuel head with a MANN filter? Thanks, Brian P.S. I have read Sam's Noob guide and did not post the picture as it wasn't playing nicely with my computer at the moment. |

You need to add GDE FT ECO Tune, and Fumoto Valve to your list. Scratch that copper washer. |

Well I also decided to tackle the lift pump upgrade! Sounds like it should be a great investment. I am going to add pins to the existing harness rather then purchase a new gas version. I'll let you know how it goes. Brian |

Well got everything installed/upgraded except for the Fumoto valve. I must have ordered the wrong one as it seems a bit to small or the threads weren't quite right. I thought F-102 was the correct value? Are there different thread sizes for this part number? |

The previous owner may have already stripped the pan and retapped it to a bigger size. I would take your old plug to a shop and see what thread size it is, then order the correct fumoto for that. |

I ran into exact same problem as PO had stripped the oil pan and re tapped one size over so F104S was installed and the new one came with a small plastic nipple for easy drain into gallon jugs and no mess. |

Are the pins an item you have to order a million of just to get a few? I will be tackling the lift pump soon as well. Notice any difference with it installed? Thanks. |
