If your in a VP-44 equipped truck and ildling at these pressures, run she's gonna blow. What is it your wantin to know.

By fuel pump you mean Injection Pump and for a second generation truck it is:
15 to 18 PSI at idle.
no less than 13 under load and no less than 11 at WOT.

If you see anything less than that you need a new lift pump (transfer pump) or to at the very least change your filters. If you have many days of low pressure you will effect the health of your IP.

There are many options on this fix and many other items related to it.

3-4 psi at Wot aint good man.......you need to upgrade yer fuel delivery

A better lift pump, larger fuel lines, a better pickup system in the tank and replacing or modifying the banjo bolts are all way to improve the fuel flow and psi numbers.

Be sure to fill out your signature so we can see what you have, this helps answer questions better.

There are several aftermarket lift pump kits that can help you with the low fuel pressure problem.

FASS is one way, Walbro 392 kit (the way I went) is another, upgrading fuel lines is another, just going to 1/2" fuel line from Vulcan helped my stock pressures out a bit.

Do some reading and find the kit that makes the most sense to you.

I have just installed a belt drive lift pump that so far I am completely impressed with also.
