5.9L, Melling HV pump, stock pan, dual remote oil filters

SCREW THAT.

You want an accumulator. Problem solved.

Get one with a solenoid, and it primes your motor on startup, too. With choice Mobil1, your motor will live till the Second Coming.



Price it out before you get any face time.
Over 300.00 for the accumulator and solenoid.
You haven't bought a line or fitting yet.
If you decide to use slip on and rubber , you will deserve every misfortune that befalls you.
My personal jury is still out on push lock hose here......much higher pressure than my fuel system.
But figure an easy 100.00 , and probably more for hoses and fittings.
Once you get north of 400.00 , the pan baffle looks like a pretty good investment.
A Kevco pan and pick up is about half the price of an accumulator set up.
And I am not being a cheapskate.
I have a Steff's pan and an accumulator on my car , so I have some idea of what this **** costs.
For your deal , I'd look Kevco pan , stock volume pump , drive , enjoy , repeat. One thing to consider if you go with the high volume pump is the drive shaft. Don't waste your time with the stocker in this application.
But unless your motor is pretty loose , the high volume pump isn't really necessary.
And unless you have a really high heat issue , 20-50 could be considered over kill.
The thinking has changed on viscosity over the years as oil technology has improved.
I'm not saying go to 0-5 , but 10-30 or 10-40 is usually adequate.
