I'll keep running it until it fails. This VP has already lasted longer than the factory unit running "spec'd" pressures.

You'll never hear me tell anybody they are wrong for tryin somethin different. That's how we learn about these things. Just throwin the warnings out there to make sure you are informed about what your doing. It's hard to know from a few threads if somebody is a newby makin un-informed decisions or if your somebody that knows what's goin on and your just takin a different route. If you had been the newby I'd feel like we failed ya if we hadn't given the warnings, but since your not drive on and keep us up on any changes.

It's all good. I don't pretend to have any of the answers. And what works for me may not for others. Just the way it goes I guess.

I know guys that are running close to 100psi at WOT in the DMax and havent blown up a CP3 in over two years of racing, BUT...that doesnt mean there isnt some damage taking place that will show its ugly head later on. They are running modded CP3 though.
That 42psi idle pressure is just nuts. My LLY didnt like anything above 13psi or it would spit and sputter like a $2 ***** on Bourbon St.

In a common rail/CP3 systems of the 3rd Gen Dodge trucks that would be closer to normal pressure but we don't generally run near this in the VP44 trucks.
