I think it's worth it if you are planning on keeping the truck.

These guys have good prices: http://www.vulcanperformance.com/servlet/StoreFront

Certainly worth every penny.

I have the Glacier kit but I will say that if I knew then what I know now I could've built the kit for cheaper.

Even so, Richards kit is top notch and doesn't cost too awful much either. You won't be missing any parts or searching around for the right fittings with it.

I have the GDP kit, it was certainly worth it price, everything ready to install. I believe that the DTR store sells the kit, check with Lary. I agree that it is much better as insurance to protect the expensive injectors.

Do it! I lost two injectors at 45k and quickly learned from Bosch that these injectors need beeter filtration than the factoy filter provides. I wish i would have done the glacier kit, but i was in a hurry so I added a racor head w/ 2 mic aquablock filter that i got from local Cummins shop. It works fine but the glacier kit is better, less resticitive, no plastic bowl to break, and the mounting location down stream of the factory filter is key! I would really recommend adding a low pressure fuel gauge as well that reads input pressure at the CP3, that way you can tell if you plug up the filter.

Only problem w/ the pressure gauge is you will see how weak your in tank pump is, i see 1psi wot w/ stock truck. I think i will be adding an Airdog 100 soon to fix this problem, and it also has 2mic filter!
