Both type of systems have their pro and cons. I like mine and others like theirs. AD did have some big quality issues a few years back but seems they have gotten hold of the problem. FASS makes a good product as do the mechanical pump manufacturers. I have to agree with @Mopar1973Man that you have to take what you heat from us and make an educated decision on the route you take. Which ever way you go do it right the first time and you will have a good fuel system.

I went these instructions when I replaced the pump after failure and once to do the tapped cover gasket. It works quite well. I just turned the engine until the key was straight up had no problems either time. I was still a bit apprehensive the first time.

One year is enough for me since I would be tapping again. But some folks probably like the piece of mind.

The one year warranty pumps are about $125 cheaper than the 2 year ones. That is just the regular HO or SO pumps.

I have an AD in mine. Installed 8 years ago. The only problem I had was a failed pump years ago. AD replaced no questions asked. The one I bought came with a kit to replace the in tank pump, the only I could find at the time that came with it. The added filtration was a big plus. Mine is mounted on the inside of the frame rails but does hang below a little. Beings my truck does not see alot of off road I dont worry about that aspect. I have never seen any damage to the filters. As Mike mentions you will need to do a larger fuel pick up. You need that for the full benefit of the pump. I have no experience with the mechanical style but several members here use them and are quite happy with them. IIRC they cost about the same but you have go elsewhere for more filtration and that means more money. I would defer to them that has them to say for sure.

Welcome back.

Waste gate stuck open maybe? Can't remember if you checked that. I still don't believe it is your turbo. Fuel related, electronic maybe mechanical, hard to say with no codes.

Was the MAP sensor connected to the oe harness and not the quad?

The whole purpose of the test is to completely disconnect the Quad from the truck including the map sensor. Then you will need to drive the truck. You should be able to feel the boost and hear the turbo charger. Are you just revving the engine or are you driving the truck? Free revving the engine in the driveway will produce no boost.

Is the MAP sensor reconnected to the oe harness?

You unplugged both what??

BR 549. Mikey is always there!!!

Had some Ranchos on mine, liked them pretty well but they wore out in couple years. For the price I expected more. Less than a year of good use, i would warranty them.

Direct bolt in?

Not without issues. There is sn article in the 2nd gen section about this very thing. Sorry I can't link it at the moment.

Ain't that the truth!!!

No sir I did not. Still have it and I now have 225k on it. Mstter of fact my oe lift failed at 150k and i did not loose that VP either, put another 70k on that one for a total life span of 145k. The oe VP was the crappy one at only a 75k life span. Dodge got stuck with that one.

Clamp the line or take the line off the actuator and clamp a bolt in it. In 20 or 30 minutes you will know. And if that does not work then dig deeper. Try the simple things first. Sounds very much like the boost elbow is not doing its job.

Wish we would have had a simple dump valve to open.

^This^. Very simple test.

A couple times. After getting to the room a cleaning up even more, I could still smell it until i fell asleep. As far as pay goes, I got paid on Wednesday just like always. I was fortunate enough to have a plumber with a drain snake. He was able to get the snake thru all of that and into outfall pipe. I ran the jet to break it all up. That's customer service!!

Next time i will be more thoughtful and invite yall along. The fishing was plentiful. Ahhhh, natures bounty.

No you do not need TDC for the test.

I have read in thread or 2 where the ECM was relocated to the fender well. But it seems rare. I know nothing about how they did it nor do I really believe it would make much difference. But I like you cannot speak from any great electrical knowledge. I am a rookie with the electronics on vehicles. I am going to take a better look at that 5v splice when I get home this weekend. The picture asks more questions than it gives answers as to what all is in the splice.

I hope they strap to a fast donkey to get it to the dealer.
