when you put an edge comp box on those trucks and tap the wire is it just from a lack of fuel that burns those pumps up or is it something else

It seems to be a combination of things. Lack of fuel being the major issue due to weak lify pump set up. Having said that I have 210K miles on mine.

One thing in that combination that Gecko mentioned that makes the problem worse (IMO) with a wire tap is that you are pushing the pump beyond it's design parameters. Also those with wire tap boxes seem to be mostly those that are pushing their trucks. Not that there is anything wrong with that The design of the VP is not the best, and the harder it is pushed, the more likely it is to fail.
