Yikes!!! Running an Juice or any performance mod without an upgraded lift pump is risky! Watch your fuel pressure, don't let it drop under 10PSI with the engine running EVER. Damage to the VP44 will occur. A AirDog Raptor, or FASS DDRP would be a cost efficient way to keep fuel pressure where it needs to be, and doesn't require dropping the tank.

whats your fuel pressure at? If you can maintain at least 7psi at wot you will be ok. But in most cases you can't run it over level 1 or 2 without chance of pump failure. Don't waste your money on a ppe. save your cash and get a good system it's worth it especially with the smaller micron filter. I myself like fass but I know a lot of people run airdog too. Lifetime warranty means a lot.

you can add the chip but don't tap the pump wire and it should be ok. your better off to have some gauges than nothing at all.

Thanks a very good point! You can have all of the features, but no power gain. Then the temptaion will be removed and possible damage avoided. When you do tap the pump, I strongly suggest a Steakth Plate so no external wires have there insulation punctured.

The FASS DDRP is fine for a stock truck or a truck with a small box.
