I bought the FASS 95, but still havent' been able to get it installed. I do have a question though, with the FASS 95, will it solve my fuel pressure problem I have when I stomp the pedal? I noticed on the edge monitor, when I drop the hammer, my fuel pressure drops to 0 and the buzzer goes NUTS! Will the FASS solve that and do I need anything else for installation, or what FASS sends enough?

your fuel pressure should be fine. Mine drops 1psi from what it has at idle.

So until the FASS, which by the way should be in this week, but until then, I am good? NO permenant damage to worry of? Will the other pump need altered or will it plus the FASS fump pump be fine together?

you could take out your Injection pump, thats bad...$1000 dollars too by the way for a new one...take it easy and keep that PSi as high you can until you get your FASS, if you can dont drive the truck but i know that aint always a option in this world

Just to be sure that everybody understands what I'm sayin here about this mechanical pump. I'm a die hard believer in it and that's a fact. But that's not saying that either the FASS or Airdog will not do everything you need. They are both great pumps in their own right I just don't have faith in any electric motor pump anymore.

You won't be disappointed with any of the three.

I should agree with Unkle Bubba but mechanical pumps are boreing. They are too quite, the most effiecent, flow more, last way too long, and are just plain too simple. So basically they are no fun as they don't need warrantee so you don't get to change them out every two year$ like you get to for the always getting prettier, always growing higher in flow ratings electric pumps. Well thats my opinion anyway. Besides mechincal pumps are all sleepers and others out in town can't hear that you have modded your truck like they can with most the electrics. Perhaps if the pulleys were modded with spokes we could use cards with clothes line clips to make them louder like we did on our bikes back in the old days.

Glad to see you on here Opie. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pleased with my Mitusa pump. My only problem is now I want more power. I have a steady platform now, I'm starting to think injectors
