I know I'm going to look it over really really good because this Is the last truck I'll be getting for awhile, fiancé I'd getting irritated about my truck habits.. I'd the pusher pump a common down fall or just adds power?

The stock lift pumps are inadequate and fail often, even if you dont play around with a tuner, ( which I'm sure you'll want to eventually ). Main point, WHEN ( not if ) the lift pump goes, it takes the 1200 dollar injection pump with it!

F*** me, ok first thing then..fiancée won't be happy about that but oh well. Which brand is recommended? It's a daily driver, not a drag racer for me needs to be reliable.

Both FASS and Airdog are both excellent choices. I would HIGHLY reccommend the Airdog Raptor 100 FRRP. It's 300 bucks, fast install with no dropping the tank like the FASS and other air separator pumps that cost a lot more.

I haven't had any issues. My buddy also runs one with his edge juice, and it holds a steady 14 PSI at full throttle in the hot setting. The stock lift pump would fail in minutes with that tune.

Ok.yeah I don't want nothing extreme, just reliable, all I plan is pump,intake, gauges and mate injectors because I can get them for 250 a set

well first off i like the 24 valve just make sure you do the fass or air dog upgrade with some gauges than the fun starts and the money leaves your wallet you will not stop until you make it an animal just my opinion but start with the fuel system first and second what type of injectors are we talking about?
