Stalling problem sounds like a fuel issue.

Hard hot starts is a symptom of a bad VP, but let's try less expensive things first.

What mods do you have done to your truck, specifically the fuel system?

The truck is completely bone stock. I just replaced the fuel filter to see if it was clogged, still the same problems.

It would be a very good idea to get a fuel pressure gauge on the supply to the VP44. Vp44's are prone to failure with improper fuel supply.

Yea, I would check your fuel psi, and you might start thinking about which LP you want... Fass is a good way to go!

The factory pumps just aren't good enough, it's that simple. They do not provide the flow to properly feed, cool, and lubricate the VP44. Adding a fueling box, like the Quad, will only make it worse.

Okay so what are you thinking s my problem vp going bad or is my problem I don't have enough fuel. I will not run my quad till I get a fass but will the fass fix my problem or am I in need of a vp very soon. If so I would like to buy the vp before I go spend 600 on a fass if that makes sense.
