Thank's to all who replied. Just what I was hoping for, good feedback from an experienced resource. Thank you all for welcoming me to your forum. A special thank's to MoparMan for this site and the very thorough and concise presentations of his experience and know how, not only on this site, but the other as well. Thank's again gang, I feel certain I am going to like it here.............Hood Latch

edcasey, thanks for the feed back. The Baldwin PF7977 is the fuel filter that I have stocked for this truck. I've had fairly good results with Baldwin products over the years in a good number of different applications. Sort of torn between the Baldwin oil filter and the Fleetguard oil filter. Both seem to have worked well for other vehicles in the past............Hood Latch

Thank you, MoparMan. Great stuff and very informative for an old motorhead who's trying something new..........Hood Latch

Am I correct in assuming that if I use the raptor 100 in it's (simple form of installation), that it will take the place of the stock lift pump (as far as providing the adequate and consistent fuel pressure) and that it will work in conjunction with the stock fuel filter/fuel heater and that I would retain the stock draw line from the tank? Thanks.......Hood Latch

Well, here I am. !st. post for a newbie. Right off the bat, I apologize for any dumb questions that have probably been asked before. I have a 2001 I picked up a few months back from the original owner with 154,000 miles on it. I am told that it has had the lift pump replaced twice and the vp44 replaced once. The truck is all stock. It also had a dealer replaced trans at 127,000 miles as I have been told. I want to install an after market lift pump and stay as close to stock equipment as possible. After reading here and on the other forum I am thinking that the Raptor 100 in front of the stock fuel filter/fuel heater would be the way to go. I guess what I would like to know is about the relibility of this particular pump and or any pump that would allow me to keep the stock filter/heater. I will probably never hot rod this truck with any increase power mods. I would also like some suggestions as to a good quality (proven) fuel pressure gauge. Thank's for puttin up with a new guy, and thank's for your time and attention..........Hood Latch
