I know nothing about fass... actually I know nothing at all, but my opinion here is you need to check for codes, because if you get 15psi when the pump is running, but go to bleed your lines and have nothing, chances are your vp44 just took a ****.

x3 sounds like your pump just up an quit.

On another note, I too am about to install a FASS Titanium and have one quick question-When you installed your FASS did you drop your tank or take off your bed?

ok here we go yes i dropped the tank {getting good at it} the reason i changed was the lines were rotted on the stock pos pickup bought new fass titanium and mixed up the return lines because didnt have the old pickups on the tank so after much cursing finally figured it out works great steady pressure and runs great but im skeeeeerd of the vp thanks guy hopefully it holds out a while longer
