And with my holley pump system, I don't want them changing it to in-tank when they do the VP.
Put a carter pump in the place of the holly before taking it in. If you're running the oem pump I suspect the hassle factor would drop down a couple levels. I think the holly would cause more problems than the guages in the dealers eyes.

....and that depends totally on what "dealer eyes" are looking at it. If the wire isn't tapped and I can send the core back without a prob and it needs a pump, it's getting one.

I already found some wood.

My VP44 has 157 almost 158k on it. I have used additive for the past 4 years with each tank of fuel. Generally 8oz. Usually, 6oz of fuel additive and two oz of either tranny fluid or new 10w motor oil.

I tow alot in the summer down here when its 90+.

I think its necessary to run the additive. I think it also helps the LP. Only replaced one since I've had the truck (just found some more wood) at 95K.

Just keep the fuel tank on the full side and don't forget your additive.
Anybody check on fluid coolers this winter for cooling the fuel?
