Install a fuel pressure gauge so you can monitor things. Have you changed
the lift pump?

Get a commercial version from Cummins, they are built better than the
Chrysler OEMs, and cheaper too.

My point was it is not made by Chrysler.
Seems you paid attention to that but ignored my other post. What's up with
your lift pump????

He's probably talking about the Fedex pump.  As I understand it EVERYONE
now incorporates the more reliable electronics of the original / replacement
Fedex units.  There's also a bushing that went from bronze to steel IIRC.  I
haven't followed the VP44 saga too closely because mine seems to be working
fine so far.

Yup, and it has been my experience that a a failed or failing lift pump are
the death of them.

in the tank pump any better??

Relocate the stock Carter to the frame rail. install PSI guage. do away with
banjo bolts and restrictive stock steel lines. My '98.5 is done like that
after the last VP44 failure just after I got the truck. Now I've got 14psi
at idle and cannot draw it under 10psi at WOT. I used Metric/ -8 JIC
fittings to replace the banjo bolts and 1/2" Goodyear gatorgrip diesel fuel
line., from the tank to the pump.
