Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm gonna do some digging around under the truck. I don't want to condemn the pump yet, it holds 17 psi at idle. Don't really wanna pony up the $400 yet eiter.

Just pulled the lines off from the FASS and didn't see a screen type filter anywhere. I'm gonna swap out the fuel filter tomorrow with a fleetguard and rule that out. Is it possible the overflow valve on the injection pump is causing this pressure drop. I pulled it out and cleaned it up. Nothing noticably wrong. Is there a way to test it? Thanks to all

That is very possible. They don't cost too much, and could be a cheap, quick fix.

Well I swapped out the fuel filter tonight, got her fired back up, and surprise surprise idle pressure is now at 20. Took it for a drive and WOT goes no less than 15. Thanks RAW for the fuel filter suggestion, just saved me $400.

I'm glad it was a cheap fix, and your back up and running.

Give FASS's tech dept a call. They seem to be able to figure most stuff out easily. Did the filter change work?? 636-433-5410
