Clamp the fuel lines with the proper clamps. Always worked for me.
got any pictures or more info on these proper clamps?

Not on me boss man. Should've worded that different. Use the clamps that were installed from Ford.
Ahhhhhhh.... makes much more sense LOL
I have always used factory ones it helps but you can not get rid of all of it
This is why I hate forums ... I didn't use anything other than factory. Since you assumed I used hose clamps on the high pressure fuel system I'll assume you have stock rails and never touched the hp fuel system . Harmonics with ported rails is a common issue, don't reply if you don't know. :gethim:

Ported rails, twin pumps, bigger nozzles, Ya I've been into the system many many times. If the lines are tightened down before the clamps are installed they will create noise. Also if the original clamps are hard or worn you will get noise.

I thought I remember someone saying if you bump up your rail pressure with tuning that you can quiet the sound way down or almost make it disappear
I'm running spartan 210 for towing and 275 -310 for dd wish I would have went with somthing that supports mcc. I liked the options with efi on my gm,should have done more research. As for righting the lines before the clamp, If I recall that's what I did haha. Makes sense though , you would get more tension on the line I guess.

Dialed in, I think you should do some research before you start bashing on people that are trying to help. The guys that have posted so far are some of the most informative on the 6.4 platform. I'd junk the ported rails. People have had issues with surging after installing them, and honestly I doubt they do anything at all. With how tiny the orifices are in other parts of the fuel system, the rails are the least of the issue. I had rails on my 08 and they cause a pretty annoying surging issue at 55-60mph with a Spartan tuner. I have stock rails on my current set up, and twice the power... works fine.
I didn't try to bash anyone, I simply get annoyed when people do not read the question asked. No where in the post did I say I used hose clamps . As for the rails , the pump was toast, so it was clean the rails or get clean ported rails for $99. I read all about the harmonics before I bought them. Nbd thanks for the info.

Who did you get the rails from?
When I bought my injectors from rudys , they didn't have them in stock and they advised against them.I got them from rcd. I thought I'd deal with it haha.
