I'm running my Blue for more than 100 k miles now and it works flawlessly.

One thing I've read about installing the holley on our trucks is you need to take the fine mesh screen out of the bottom because the diesel will clog it up. If this is old news to you guys sorry.

To the people running the holley from their stock LP wiring: Are you putting the holley in the engine bay where the stock LP was, or are you doing a frame install down by the tank?

Me myself have no thad very good luck with the blue pumps, def. dont mount them upside down ( I did to get the inlet closer to the top of the frame rail ) it didn't last 3k miles, have been through bout 4 brand new pumps, i now have a blue and one off ebay that is a cheap version of the blue I run bout 25psi at idle and 15psi at wot, but if you go for a long trip they get hot to quick and the before you know it you have less and less press. then it will just drop til it cools off. Just my experience.

I left the screen in. I did however put a 3/8" inline filter in just before it.

I've had my Holley mounted down near the frame with the screen in and no incoming filter for about 40-45k now with no issues what so ever. I simply tied the hot into the stock lift pump wiring, and with the stock lift pump I get 24-25 @ idle & 14 @ wot. That's with the Scotty straight through fittings though. It has been a great cheap investment compared to the alternatives. I agree don't mount them upside down.

I had the blue on the frame and it lasted about 15k miles. I now run a Walbro. You can do the whole walbro install for about $200 if you build your own "kit". That's what I did.

lift pumps

I was happy with the Holly Blue (set at 12psi, mounted it on the frame rail in the engine compartment) for 3 years, but developed a fuel leak which attracted dirt to the external electric motor's commutator & wore it out.
Currently I'm running the original Carter mounted outside the fuel tank, it feeds a new $180.00 Airtech (internal motor) mounted where the Holly was. Wired to a H.D. toggle switch. My 0-15 psi Autometer gauge is pegged at 15 psi all the time. Overkill, I suppose, but I don't worry about my injector pump anymore.

Been running a Holley Blue pushing into a Carter HD in the stock location for almost a year, so far so good. The relay for the Holley is piggy backed off the stock LP wiring harness so it only runs when the ECM tells it to.

This is the fuel pump relay I made for FordKiller43's truck. It uses the stock LP relay to trip the new relay only. Power is sent from the batt to a 30amp fuse then the 40amp relay and then to the new LP all with 10ga wire for hot and ground. ground runs to the batt for a good connection.
