Lift pump question
I had my lift pump go out on my truck wednesday, my question is. Does it almost always take out the injection pump as well?

Re: Lift pump question
Only if its been running low fuel pressure for a while. That's why everyone with a VP44 truck should be running a fuel pressure gauge.

Your truck will run just fine without a lift pump. If you don't have a gauge, you will never know it's out. That's why the gauge.
As far as how long your VP will last without the LP, that's a crap shoot. Some die right away, I had one that I ran for over 2000 miles with no LP before I put an new one in. The VP still lasted another year or so after that. So there is no real answer to your question. BUT, if your truck kicked and bucked to a stop, it's not because of the Lift Pump going bad. Take out a loan and call your order in for the new VP. |

If the VP isn't throwing codes just run it... I let my lift pump go and about 3 weeks after I put my raptor in the VP quit. What Quadzilla are you running? a programmer on stock fuel system is just asking for trouble......
