So 11 is ok but I would like to get it as high as possible so if I use Homestead's set up do you have any tips on how I could get it any higher other than getting a different type of pump? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. As far as the original pump you think I'd be ok by doing what Homestead did moving it to the frame, and running 1/2 line from the tank to the vp44, and maybe a 2 micron filter between the tank and LP? I noticed he said it only got 11 psi at WOT kind low to me. I know anything above 10 is good. What do you think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh ok thanks for the info MoparMan. That was the main reason I liked that one. That and it looked like an easy install. Regarding the Assassin do u have to replace the drawstraw? Really don't want to drop that tank since I'll be the only one doing this install. Any thoughts on another pump that would be reliable, cheap, and an easy install? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't know you would think so though. But don't know if I want to take that chance. I do like the adjustable fuel pressure screw though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JR, I thought the Raptor FRRP was the only one mounted to the block? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok will do turbowine, let me know if you find out any new info as well. Kinda weired about the ad100 having fewer issues since it's the same company.

Hey guys, Now I know iv'e been over this particular topic before but iv'e come to view some new info regarding lift pumps well new to me anyway lol. So I was vewing some threads on here and came across the Assassin lift pump, and read that these pumps actually increase pressure with RPM's which of course I really liked that, and the fact that there a mechanical pump. Also during my discovery i read that in order to install this pump you have to replace the draw straw. Is this something that absolutly has to be done with this style of pump? My original choice was a Raptor 100 but also viewing some threads on here I discovered that the new owners of AirDog F..... them up so am not sure I want to go that route. And then I found the below from Homestead, and really liked this idea because of the costs. My truck is bone stock, and I dont really plan on towing anything maybe a car, or when I decide to relocate and load all my crap on a trailer and go other than that 95% of the time my truck is empty. Dont really plan on doing any mods to it other than a 4" or 5" exaust although +50hp injectors are appealing to me more, and more lol. Allready got my BHAF installed!! Just trying to figure which one would be best for the cheapest price before my stock LP craps out on me. Bare with me gents! Below is Homesteads post! My "kit" is parts and pieces from Vulcan as well as stuff sourced from a local parts store. The tank module is factory stock, no draw straw at all. The connection to the tank is factory as well. My "big line" actually starts just before the tank itself on the frame rail.The Carter pump is mounted directly below the drivers seat on the outside of the frame rail and feeds the factory filter canister/heater assembly. From there is is "big line" directly into the VP. The pump wiring was extended down to the frame mounted pump using a Vulcan harness but they are simple enough to make.Everything is Push Loc type rubber hose, braided or anything is not needed. Push Loc is cheap and available just about anywhere and way less hassle that braided. I had braided at first, waste of money for this application.I have my stock OEM Carter set up this way, been that way for over 150,000 miles on the same pump. Pressures are 15/16 psi at idle and WOT won't go under 11 psi. Big line from the front of the tank to the VP with only the factory filter canister in the middle.Jeff

WOW you really did some digging! Great thread! I would have to agree that idling for a minute or two then taking off and babying it until full temp would be best. which is what I plan to do. But it just goes to show you these engines can really handle a lot if idling for long periods of time is supposed to hurt the engine according to the owners Manual, and Caj can make it a Million miles even with idling for a few hours than that's one hell of an engine!!!! Gotta love Cummins!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I give it a look. Thanks ISX!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I've decided from everybody's posts that I'm only going to let it idle when it's real cold maybe 7 to 10 mins other than that just a minute or two before take off. And then drive it real easy until full temp. Thanks to everybody that chimed in on this post!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh ok thanks AH64ID! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting, you would think since it's newer it would warm up quicker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol yea tell me about it! Takes forever to warm these trucks up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah64ID, PM's do you mean IM? So as far as what I'm getting out of everybody's post you don't have to warm them completely up before take off when it's cold out right? And that you shouldn't idle them more then 10min right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so it won't hurt anything if I don't let it idle for 10 to 15 before taking off when it's cold out? I was just always brought up to let your engine warm up before taking off but then again most of my vehicles when I was younger were older! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, just have a question regarding engine idleing and warm up. So I know according to the owners manuel your not supposed to idle your engine for a long period, and of course it doesn't specify what a long period of time is but aren't you supposed to warm it up in the winter? If this is the case iv'e noticed since owning this diesel that takes quite a while so wouldn't this hurt the engine since your not supposed to leave them idle for long periods of time? confussed. just another newbie question

Oh ok. Wow great details on the pics thanks, yea I would defiantly like to see that fuel set up!!! Thanks again for the help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn Ironforger do u travel I've got a Cummins in need lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - - - Updated - - - IronForger, First off great info! I'm getting ready to do all listed above to mine come spring, waiting for the wheather to warm up plus it gives me alot of time to research, and figure out or get step by step instructons how how to do this job! I do however have a few quesions for you. #1 what did you do to delete your "puke bottle" im guessing you mean the mod right? #2 the torque for the bolts are 18lb's right? #3 Where do I go to get this shop manuel I am reading about? Thanks in advance for your info!
