I have 2 friends that ran an edge module for several months and then added a fass for insurance only to have the vp crap out a month or so later. Scared me enough to put a fass on my 01 first then put an edge.So far so good, 1yr and counting, no vp failures here

My '01 got the edge and fass + 300 hp inj. That seemed to cure the vp44 problem. Removed all banjo bolts. Still keep backup vp in truck, but not needed. Got fass for '07 need to install.

I discovered my lift pump was bad the first time I changed the fuel filter shortly after I bought the truck a year ago. Installed a fass and 1 year and 12000 miles later it's still running fine.

I'm currently on VP number 3.

Lift pump number 4 has come and gone.
Now running a Glacier Diesel Walbro 392 setup.

My full time fuel pressure gauge has never been below 7 psi at WOT.
Pumps were always changed out before pressure got below 7 psi at WOT or 12 PSI at idle.

STILL lost 2 injection pumps.
Edge Comp pump wire was connected when Injection Pump #1 & #2 went toes up.
Industrial Injection said that when pump #2 died, the electronics fried, holding the fuel soleniod open, causing the pump to hydraulic lock, destroying the internal parts to the point that it wasn't even useable as a CORE.
It cost me money as the old pump was 2 years old, and I admit that I connected the pump wire from my COMP exceeding the manufacturer's performance specifications.....I accept the responsibility that my actions contributed to the pump's early demise.
They still shipped a NEW off the shelf pump to my door from Utah to Virginia in under 24 hours to get me back on the road.
Great customer service

Pump wire will NOT be hooked up on pump number 3......

I replaced my VP44 at about 85k miles...then replaced the LP with another cummins stock..now runs good but I plan on add a better Lift Pump like the AirDog(hear it's better than the FASS..) or Glacier very soon!
