Exclamation Fuel Pressure

How much fuel pressure should be at the top of the filter? I measured mine at 10psi at idle last night, truck has been running sluggish. Problem?

Sounds like a dead lift pump. I would get it fixed before the vp44 dies.

sounds too low, mine's at 16+ at idle and the lift pump has 100k+ miles on it. Go ahead and relocate it at the same time, it may be the last one you need to buy.

Lift Pump

This truck has 240k miles on it so I guess it is about time for something to break, which relocation kit and lift pump work best? Vulcan? Bullydog?

They all do the same thing, some with more/better fittings, some with hose clamps, some without.
I have a Vulcan and am very pleased with the quality, price and ease of installation.
There was a guy who was selling them on Ebay that looked sweet too, I haven't seen him in a while though, he was at about $150.
