your still not getting it a factory lift pump new is not enough to keep a vp happy with just a mild programmer. I had a 99 with a 3 month old lift pump and injection pump and with an edge comp on 3 I could pull it down to 5psi not good. They just can't keep up. put a fass or airdog on first then get gauges they will save you $$$$$$$

 

He has an excellent point. Supplied fuel is more critical then delivered fuel.

 

Id be listening get a FASS or Airdog on it first along with a FPG fuel pressure guage, do that just to see the difference the lift pump alone makes to a stock truck,you'll be surprised, that is if your vp44 is still healthy, you will see what i'm talking about.

 

Oh i just read the factory lift pump thing! Get a pump first! They are POS's if that thing fails you will have a 1500-2000$ mistake on your hands!

 

Like everybody says get a better fuel system it highly recommended I'm running the airdog and i never drop bellow 16psi of fuel pressure. But programmer/chip wise I'm running a Superchips,smoke is decent but I'm looking for more power that's why I bought 150 horse injectors. As far as hypertech goes I hear there junk that's other peoples opinion. The edge I hear is a good chip rolls the coal and good hp,that will be the next thing I install after my turbo.. But right now get a better fuel system like a fass or airdog. It will help you out in the long run and you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps!

 

I have been very happy with my EJWA. I bought it off the local classifieds, but it was new in the box. Be careful when you buy a used one that you get all the pieces. I looked at a few of them that were missing certain parts of the programmer package. For me, it was basically money I was going to spend on gauges anyways and this gave me a smaller package for the dash with a free chip so to speak.

By the way it was listed at $650 and I apologetically offered $450 and the guy agreed. I spent a couple of months looking hard to find that price in my area.

 

I ran into the pieces issue recently as well. I bought a used EJWA CTS, and the harness was hacked out of the truck. It didn't come with a fuel pressure sensor, trans temp sensor, or a pyro. I like using PayPal for issues just like the one I have now. The one I have has everything, even stickers!!!

 

I'm another one to recommend getting a fuel pressure gauge ASAP, i doubt very much your fuel pressure is where it should be if the replacement pump is stock. I've been running my EJWA for a little over 2 years, bought it refurbished off ebay for $320 and have not had a single problem with it....not sure if any are listed there now though. I went that route because I had no gauges and buying th EJWA or another programmer with gauges kills 2 birds with 1 stone....IMO, Raptor, Air Dog, or FASS to solve low fuel pressure issue. Good Luck

 

yep... My buddie also has a Edge Juice and he still hasent upgraded his fuel pump and when he is getting on the freeway that alarm goes off cause his truck is a 2-3psi of fuel pressure. I hope he doesent ruin his VP!

 

He will learn the hard way.
