Default LIFT PUMPS!!!! ?

So i am starting to look for a lift pump for my truck i looked up under her and it has a in tank pump? i think, fuel lines disapear behind the tank no sign of the pump. i looked by the fuel filter on the driver side of the block no sign of it just the starter down on the rear. what are my options?? SUGGESTIONS??

run whatever pump you want, only thing you gotta do is drop the tank and run a draw straw.

if you have a dealer installed in tank pump you should have a aluminum block with fuel in and out under fuel filter, if not you will have a pump in same location with wires coming off it. or you could have a pump up under frame if it aftermarket. if you plan on making power just put drawstraw in and a frame mounted pump with factory engine mounted delete.

You need to make a realistic assessment of how much power you ultimately want to make... Draw straw? Or use a variant of drawing through the basket. ie through the stock line or a bigger hole still in the stock location.

i talked to my local diesel performance shop. they said 95mpg will be good for up to 500hp. which is pretty much were i would want to end up hp wise. im not looking to go insane but i want some power there when i want it. so heres my plan. the fass 95mpg then EJWA cts. then later some injectors and bigger turbo. what do you think?

Well the fass titanium LP is a good choice, water and air filtration 150gpm.
Oh and it GPM not MPG.
EJWA is a good choice if you want the digital read out for your gauges. If you didnt I would go with the edge comp box and some pillar gauges.
BUT before you go and throw all fuel to it I would defiantly beef up your trans..
Then or before you could do some exhaust upgrades 4'' turbo back MBRP is a good choice.
Injectors could be somthing to look for in the future-100-150 hp
The turbo would be the last I would look at... They get kinda pricey... And you really dont need one yet...

its gallons per hour GPH. and i would go with a FASS 150gph just to be safe. there only one hunderd or so more and its worth it if you ever get really power hungary and you wont have a smaller lift pump stopping you
