I hate to say it but if he it up the first time I wouldn't have any faith that he'll do better the second time around, but that is a lot of money for the install and it should be perfect or pretty dare close.

I just installed the Draw Straw I and my tank was below empty and after the install I had to go down a fairly step driveway and idle for a bit waiting for a break in traffic and my truck didn't miss a beat. I didn't have the pressure guage hooked up yet but the truck idled fine.

 

Mine cost $150.
Cancel your credit card payment.
Throw this guy in the back of your truck, bring him down here and I'll show him what the wild west is all about.
I'll give him a tape measure and a rope and tell him if he gets his measurement short again he'll dangle!!!
Then take it to someone who knows what they are doing. Don't let this guy mess up more than he already has.

 

If we could deal with incompetent work like this, life would be great!

 

this why i do my own installs!!! took me around 6 hours to install mine. everything was done right the first time! make him redo it or cancel payment!

 

Unless you had the in-tank pump done at the dealer under wnty or otherwise....04.5 you should be able to use the stock pick-up in the tank. They didn’t make the in-tank pump OEM until 2005. If you have your serial number i can look up what kit they sold you.

AND $800.00 CA for install...that is like $1200.00 US!

Im not one to comment on a dealers labor prices...but i can honestly say that if the labor to put the pump on is more than the pump.....i might raise an eyebrow....when i did them at the shop i used to work at I charged about 4 hrs of labor for reference. Granted i didn’t have to drop the tank...but that should only be an hour more.

 

Just did a test with the new Draw Straw 1 I installed last weekend. Took the fuel level into the red and the truck kept running fine. The pressure guage did waver a bit on hard braking downhill on the offramp but only went down to about 10 psi at the stop sign then recovered to about 14 psi with the nose a bit low. Normally it runs about 16-17 psi with cold fuel. It took 31.157 gallons to top it off so that means I got down to about 4 gallons left. If driven easily I could probably take it down to less than a gallon.

 

hey thanks guys for the sorryness. lol but i payed cash my bad.. but i needed my truck right then and now. he had it for day/half i drove my buddys truck today and the low light was on and it never miss once hes got the 150gpm fass. Hes closed for the holidays now, but, its goin back in there and hes going to fix it. i can hit the line between the 1/4 and red and she stalls don't mader if iam steady driving or not it stalls. he edit up bad and iam goin back there when he reopens. i know he put some time into this but hes a retard machanic that just rips people off my friend got burned from him before i never knew this until afterwards. he mounted it under the drivers door like the air-dog right in front of the fuel tank it fits realy nice there. i don't have any pics but it fits just right!

 

thanks for alll the replys guys ive been working and never had internet to come back and check all these out.

no i don't have any pics of anything . but he told me he ran a return line from cp3 to the fass left my fuel canister filter thing on.... just thinking about this is making me mad.

 

so, just n update..... i talked to the guy and he told me to book it into NADP and charge it all back to him.. they should be able to fix it right! now just to get an aapointment.

 

draw straw was installed with my fass 150 hpfp. has been working fine for almost a year now- getting alittle louder, but hey its a fass. i put a hole in the tank

 

I don't want to bore a hole into the top of my tank. Anyone have any pictures or hints as to how to put it into the top of the canister? I think just pulling out the old small line and using a die grinder or ream to get the hole big enough for the draw straw should be ok... Any comments appreciated. I haven't started yet, but want to get my ducks in a row before I start. It also seems that if I put it into the canister, I should end up with more clearance.

 

sorry to hear of your misfortune. i wish you the best on getting your issue resolved.

i don't mind paying anyone $ to do a job for me, but do it right.
what would get me is paying someone that amount to do a job and them "" it up.

 

Click the canister mod link in my sig.

 

Somebody ripped you a new one for a $800 install.

 

Don't take it there!!!! They're sure to screw it up - do it yourself - there are many posted projects with pics on here if you do a search - part of their problem is getting an appointment from them for warranty stuff - they love selling products and installations at exorbitant prices.......then you are on your own. I've had to fix their handy work on two buddies' trucks in my garage. Now, they have other acquaintances calling me for help with installs from the same place. I should open a shop and start charging - there's enough to quit my job.
