A 5 inch for 100$ i would scoop it up quick and you can get the same lift pump i have for 375 from blue chip and it is a awesome pump the raptor 150gph and big line kit and if the vp is that old i would just about put money on it being the vp

I can buy a used Raptor 150 for $100 and the guy with the exhaust is a being a jerk(seems like everything on Craigslist is always a pain anymore)and has went from $100 OBO to well I got a Duramax and I'm just going to put the pipe on there if I don't get $150 and I will need the pipe that goes from the turbo to the exhaust so I know what that means is another foot of pipe I will have to buy.

I replaced crankshaft position sensor&everything was fine my cousin gave me his stock exhaust and it worked fine until i noticed a hole around the hanger about 2 weeks ago.Im going to take your advice and buy straight pipe this time im on a budget&try to save where i can i thought i had a bad injector a while back but i did crack open the injector lines and looked on mopar mans site and he says injectors should go a million miles&has a friend on his site that has over that on his truck with the same block (the notorious)#53 as mine.because of my budget issues i went to harbor freight and bought a $20 gauge and put it directly into fuel filter housing to check fuel pressure after i got (advance made up the old lift pump the last owner of my truck put on when it stop working&luckly i caught it before it got the VP) lift pump on and im getting between 12-16 PSI but having long crank times when it is drove for a hour or so&is starting fine after sitting overnight dose anyone have any suggestions on this? Any help is appreciated&Thanks for all the helpful advice.
