Ok. Gauges are on the list but im going to wait and do it right by getting all 3. I have a scangauge ii, does the dodge send fp data to it? I've found some vehicles do and some don't.

It does not. Even if you can borrow a fuel pressure gauge to know where you are, that is ok for now.

Awesome, thanks for the help.

If I was to just do the DDRP and a relocation kit, what would the cons be compared to the higher priced pump?

Lower flow yielding lower pressure, less filtration, and most like more of a pain in the ****.

Appreciate the advice. I'm going to keep researching but most likely go with a better lift pump then, I'm not sure the future of this truck, whether or not I'll be modding, but it can't hurt to prep it just in case

I agree with RAWilliams, fuel pressure gauge is the MOST important thing you can do to these trucks, another good (cheap) option is a low fuel pressure warning kit. They're around $50 and will let you know if the pressure drops too low AT the injection pump. I'd recomend this one: Products
