I just installed a Holley Blue the other day and went on a 2500+ mile road trip. It works great with 24psi at idle, 20-22psi cruising, and 14-18psi at WOT. The catch is that they aren't supposed to last very long in this application. I guess we'll see...

The best reliability out there seems to be fass or walbro. Why a holly? I'm not trying to start a this is better than that post but am wondering if I missed something! The most important thing is to do exactly what you are doing. Research and do what feels best for you!

I ran a Holley Red on my 2002 Dodge CTD 24 valve for two (2) years with absolutely no problems at all! It was still on the truck when I sold it last summer. My Son ran a Holley Blue on his 2004 Dodge CTD CR for almost two years also in conjunction with the stock lift pump. He replaced the Holley with the mechanical MITUSA pump last year.
IMO, the Holley Pumps are a good fuel pump for the price!
You can get them at any "Advance Auto Parts" Store for around $100.00, Advance warranties them for one full year and IMO they seem to last about as long as some of the other brands. My Son and I have tried ALOT of different electric fuel pumps over the last few years including: Product Engineering, Holley, Mallory, FASS to name a few and the Holleys have done well for us. For the money, I don't think you can go wrong despite what some might try to tell you about the Holleys.
Good luck on your decision.

The Holley uses 3/8 NPT ports, so you can use whatever plumbing you want with it. I used all 37° flare fittings (AN fittings). I run to the stock filter canister with a adaptor plate in place of the OE lift pump.
The nice thing about doing it this way is the components can be tailored to fit your budget. The GDP and FASS kits are nice, if you like plug-and-play. But if you're willing to invest a little time and design work, you can get a much better system for the same cost or less (or more).

My Son posted some pictures awhile back from the set-up he had on his
2004. I will try to get him to re-post those. For your information, my Son mounted his Holley Blue with a bolt and bracket in a frame hole on the drivers side, within the left front wheel well. This is one of the few holes that go through the hydroformed frame. I will get some measurements off my 06' for you tomorrow.

I just installed a Walbro 392 on my '04 this past weekend. The stock lift pump was starting to go, as was the BD pusher pump that the previous owner had installed. I was only getting like 10 psi, which was too low for me. I decided to just get rid of both of those pumps and go with the Walbro. Very easy installation, wiring was super easy. Kit was complete and instructions were clear. Did get a large quantity of diesel fuel on me, but hey it happens right???
