I've got a GDP 392 system on mine. I love it. Plus, I've had a few questions and Richard was always there to help. He's a really cool guy.

Walbro is like $119 for JUST the pump, you still need bypass vavle, mounting hardware, adapter for where you will remove the stock Lift Pump , etc...it will end up costing you @ $350. I LOVE my Walbro!

nothing wrong with wanting a comfortable and queit ride but in IMO if a fuel pump is to loud then you need to be looking into a tundra or titan, we all know diesels have a long rep of being loud and while they have gotten alot better they still dont have a chance in that dep. compaired to a nice gasser. even a stock exst system on the cummins at cruise speed you will not hear the fass running but like i said before if you got some serous mods chances are you got a big est system and you are not going to hear anytype of pump running

If its too loud, you are too old!

I love the sound of a 24v VP44 clanging. You cant even carry a converation with someone with the windows down.

I think you have some bad info. That was one of the deciding factors when I was looking to upgarde the fuel system. You can buy an extra FASS pump if you want, and yes they are more expensive. I also seriously doubt that you can get a walbro pump at any old corner store. Bottom line is that if your system breaks, you're dead in the water no matter if it's a FASS or a GDP unless you have an extra pump.

These fuel system threads are starting to go the way of the transmission and oil war threads. People seem to have this burning desire to convince others that what they use is the best and they take it personal if you don't agree.

good point....and yes I think I have been misinformed...I tried all day to look for a GSL-392 walbro pump at all the local parts stores...they looked at me like I was crazy all they wanted to know was what year car/truck the pump came off of...and the GSL-392 part number does not cross...I even tried Napa no luck

I put a BD on my 01 it had about 15 psi but only lasted a year. I upgraded to a fass 150 and have had no complaints 16 psi and running strong. I cant even hear it run over the exaust.

You put the BD Aux pump on?? So I am guessing the pump went out, what kind of warranty did it have?

I see all these advertisments for these hi dollar fuel pump kits like fass and gdp but I dont see them bragging about any warranty. If there products are so superior you'd think they would be hyping some kind of warranty.

FASS has a 6 year warranty I believe...that's pretty good imho
I don't know if the GDP kits have a warranty???

Edit...yep 6 year...http://www.dieselpp.com/

What lift pump

I've experimented a bit with a couple lift pumps. Like with most things,.. all lift pumps are not created equal. I say buy based on your needs/mods to sufficiently fuel your rig for now and the future.

I'm going Mitusa. 275gph!!!!!!!!!!!!
