It seems DC has had this LP issue since the 2nd gen's but has only done enough to barely keep enough fuel going to the pumps to hopefully make it out of warranty period, well that's probably for another thread.
I installed a fuel pressure gauge @ 15,000 miles to find that my truck would still pull down to 3-4 psi with only intake and exhaust done. Hoping to avoid cp3 replacement I installed the FASS 150 gph and have 45,000 miles now and have not had any problems yet (knock on wood), I know that I will definetly know if the fass goes down because the thing is so loud.
Would definetly recommend running a fuel conditioner!

What gives, Now I'm mad Because this time it fail at work, so I had a $200 tow jobs because dodge roadside ***. does't pay for your tow if you have a welder bolted in the back. Now,I'm missing out on a lot of pay because I can't work for four days till my truck is fixed. Dodge tells me that's not there problem, I need to slap someone there. Now that I'm done my *itching, is there a better after market lift pump that will not fail.

I had mine replaced with the in tank one in December. This is my 3rd LP. I hope it work as I will be going caribou hunting next fall to James Bay (Arctic Tundra). There is no DC up there so the towing would be very expensive
