LP than IP?

ok, truck has 216k on her. bought it used with 110k. truck always seems to lack power, but i am used to it. took to dealer when bought it and still had warranty and was told nothing was wrong. 2 mths ago took to dealer for some flash. was told my LP was on the way out. have no gauages and dont really believe dealer because this is how it ran last 100k. is it possible that LP has been screwed that long? why hasnt IP screwed up? guess the only way i can actually tell anything is with gauages, right?

It is hard to tell without a gauge. Genoes has a nice gauge for less than $80.

That is a lot of miles for a stock lift pump. I'd either buy or build an after-market lift pump. Have a look at GlacierDiesel's kits.
