So I have been contacted by an old family friend whom wants me to convert 2 '04 dodge trucks, and a 98 12 valve. the 98 I can design a system for no problem, and I am pretty sure I can do a good system for the others.


or I can just get 3 kits, and do the installs on them. this would somewhat alieve me of any issues which may arise from faulty components, but aside from this, what are some benefits of using a kit?


the trucks will be driven on cross country trips, pulling large goosenecks. so must be extremely reliable.
also- 2 trucks will be parked for 2-3 months at a time, and then driven X country. I thought it would make the most since to fill the tanks on these to capacity during off- use times. would it make since to have a purge function which could purge the wvo out of the lines and FPHE?

the trucks will not always have the same drivers- so a controller will be a good addition, I think. something that will switch to veg, and warn of failure to purge.

If I go from scratch i would use 3 similar tanks(He already has 1) of the aprox 100 gal pickup bed type.

fab up an aluminum heated pickup, or maybe a hotfox. I have yet to have a look at the tank he has.

HIH? HOH?- anyone selling a pre-made HOH bundle still??

hydraforce valves.

FPHE's.20-ish plate.

some type of controller. a must- but which one?

I appreciate anyone's input and experiences that they want to share.

I have a small ram 50 so the deluxe greasecar kit does me well though if I had a bigger truck there's really only one component of theirs I would use and it's just come out: 98 Series Valves

It really comes down to whether or not you can piece together a kit like Frybrid for less, which clearly you can, and have it be reasonable to do. If it's just too far to go then you might as well get the kit. Similarly if the cost of the valves above made the whole thing in the ballpark of the Frybrid kit it might be worth it. The greasecar valves do look to be even better than frybrid though, I also like their dual in one component which makes the whole system more compact for heat storage (frybrid of course mounts atop the block).
