Little worried
Bought a 01 Cummins Tuesday. Carfax said Carter lift pump and injection pump(re-man) was replaced late 2014 so I wasn't to worried about fuel pressure and I forgot my test guage. Bought it drove it home 200 miles got it to my work and fuel pressure was 15 at idol and 0 under light acceleration. Crap. So I have been driving my other car till my fass comes. I need to get it home to install fass but home is 25 miles away. Truck runs great but I'm worried about the 25 mile ride home, should I be? Can 25 mile hurt it anymore than what might already be done? I put stanadyne in the fuel hoping it will help. Thanks guys

If you have a way to monitor it on the way home I would do it. Other wise I would find a friend and a trailer and tow it home. With having the potential for locking up the VP and a mostly unknown history (I assume) with the carter lift pump, I wouldn't want to spend anymore than I had to to make it reliable.
