FUEL PROBLEM...
ok i will try and make this short.. My dads 98 24valve had an oil pressure sensor go out so we replaced the 200 dollar part and since we were right there , changed the fuel filter since he hadnt changed it since i owned it. so 100k on a fuel filter ... when we got it started it ran fine for a day or two. now all of the sudden it cranks for 30 seconds b4 it starts even if he bumps the starter and the fuel pump kicks on. if the truck has been running and u shut it off it will start right up. took it to a shop and they added a fuel pump in place of the stock lift pump, didnt help just cost 300 bucks. they say vp bad... dad and i think maybe otherwise, any suggestions? b4 he has to bite the 1500$ bullet

the engine light isnt on but i will try and get my superchips to him to see if there are any... i guess the shop said the fuel pump that commonly goes out had a code.. but i dont know if thats possible. when my truck lost the pump both went and when i tried to start it a work nothing just cranked, so we are lost

Kyle,
When I bought my truck it had 260k on it. Once I threw the Edge J/A on it I saw that the fuel PSI was dropping below 5 PSI. So I put on an Airdog 150. Needless to say I had to replace the VP44 as well. When the lift pump goes, the VP44 will still pull fuel, but will eventually fail. Really need to check to see if it has any codes.
