Check the amp rating on the relay. Shouldbe around 30 amps, but that depends on which relay you used. If the RC-10 lift pump has a max amp rating less than the relay amp rating, it will work fine.

i used a 40amp relay and frc10 asked for a 5 amp fuse so i should be good thx. fyi new lp is rocking a steady 9 psi at idle. it bounced between 3 to 6 at idle befor with a new stock lp.
cant say i feel any differance but i know my ip should not have to work any harder than it already does.

now if i could just get my ftb as ordered on the 14th, im thinking the treat it comes with might have got caught at the border. so i wait

Glad to hear everything is working perfectly.

I dislike playing the waiting game on new parts......
