Vp trucks can only manipulate injection pressure curve with fueling boxes and injector size.

Guess i will pull the edge but know i will be staved for power pulling the gooseneck.
Just returned from a trip with the 03 and the 46' gooseneck . went to Branson, Jasper and Liberty Hill Tx back thru Memphis and picked up a load of trailers ( 2 car haulers and 4 16' utilitys ) and the 03 pulls great with no problems except for the 9 mpg.

My personal favorite pump is the Walbro 392 used with a good bypass pressure regulator. Walbros last several hundred thousand miles on Power Stokes.

I read alot about the lift pump problems , and knew i had to do something after adding INJ and boxes so i found a site that done a mod that really makes sence . The pump that cummins uses should b gravity feed , the pumps now are working as a puller and a pusher , they cant handle that , heres what i done
I use a holley volumax 160 GPH pump and a fuel/air seperator 5 micron filter
1/2 in lines to the Vp 44 , i trashed the factory lift and filter assembly , this has been on for 6 months with noo probs i hold 22 psi with no regulator I did have to route a line from the pump to the supply side of the tank cause i did peg a 30 psi guage when first installed , I have about 200$ in this setup

My Fass has been as good as the day that it went in. I still have 16psi at idle and 13 psi at wot. I wouldn't hestate to recommend it to anyone. I have about 100000 miles on it, before that I used up three cummins LP's. So I'm saving money.
