We could help you get a FASS high performance pump or the FASS fuel system with a fuel filter and water seperator filter. Either way it will stop your fuel delivery problems and help you keep that new VP44 running the way it should. 95gph is an ideal pump, but you could always get the 150gph just in case you ever step up to high horsepower....

But seriously you will need some kind of aftermarket fuel pump. Nothing stock is working the way it should to keep our injection pumps alive and well.

Get the guage hooked up and you'll know if/when you need a lp. Are you holding out on guages for the Edge attitude?

You could get a carter from cummins plus a bracket and harness from vulcanperformance and be done for $200. Its worth relocating to the frame for accessibility if nothing else.

ive got a holley blue on the frame and it works great. i have 21 or so at idle and no less than 15 at WOT. and thats with a regulator the pump was only 140.00 or so with the regulator.

NCdodgeman, Do you have an HO truck?

ncdodgeman20 · 03-26-2006, 07:11 AM

no its not the ho model does that have something to do with it?

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the hotrod pump are best put on HO trucks, while SO truck don't benefit much if at all.

Must be nice,I just installed the guage and discovered that I have 7 at idle,so the truck will remain parked until I get a lift pump

Regardless if its HO or SO the hrvp will add more fuel. For the HO's the hrvp eliminates the hp ceiling.
