Getting ready to put on the fass pump. Should I bypass the shock fuel filter canister? or leave it on. Thanks

Thanks for the info. Going to leave the stock vp on.

I dont get to post alot due working out of town, but my brother in law has 99 with the cracked block so I 'm swapping out his parts for my parts. The hot rod pump, fass 150, bigger trubo and the edge cs off the truck. What does everyone think about the hot rod pumps? Thanks

AD64ID Thanks I will look into the Donaldson P551313 filter.

Have not been around for awhile been working out of town. Now that I'm back home I want to upgrade the fuel filter system. Here is my ideal. I would like to remove the stock fuel canister and replace with the Fleetguard fs19596 with water in fuel sensor and Cat 1R-0750 after the raptor pump(frrp). After looking at the filter heads and the space where the canister is I think I can fit it all in there. What do you guys think? Will the raptor be able to handle the filters after it? Thanks

i got it running this afternoon. I took the big line off from the vp44 to the fuel canister and put the stock line back on. i also lowed the fuel pressure at the raptor to 14-15 psi. the truck started on the second crank. crank pressure was 12psi. i drove it for about 15 min around town wot drop to 10psi not sure but the stock line and the fuel filter might having something to do with that. got home turned it off and wait 20 min and went out and started it. It hard started but not as bad as it has been when hot. tomorrow i am going to drop the pressure down to 12 psi and see if the the hard starting goes away. if it does then I will look at my option of rewiring the pump not to run during start up and bump the pressure back towards 16psi. Not sure if my ecm is running the the pump @ 50% during start up or if I can have the truck re-flashed? Thank you all for the help and info.

CUMMINSDIESELPWRI have been in contact with Wade @thoroughbred he is the one that told me to disconnect the power to the pump to see if the truck would start. he also told me about that i could wire up the pump not to run at start up. but i feel that just a band aid for the bigger problem. they have been great so far. I plan on calling him back in the morning just to make sure i got he right pump. At this point i just want the dam thing to run. I have a feeling i got the wrong pump or one with a bad computer as it has been doing this from day one. Dripleymy gauge is on the the 90 elbow at the inlet port on the vp44. I got fuel to the pump and fuel to 1,3,4,5

dripley, i used a snap on scanner. I put a test gauge on the fuel filter canister and both read about the same. Just came in from messing with it. tried bleeding the pump and injectors. Still will not start.

dripley, yes i have been playing around with it for last couple of hrs. I have a mechanical gauge. Its a 1999 stock other than the raptor frrp pump. i will update my signature

First new to site. I have another vp44 question (sorry). I replaced my vp44 back in oct 2011 and also added the raptor frrp pump and i made a big line from fuel filter to vp pump. both were purchased form thoroughbred diesel. At the time i was working out of town and wife was driving it when it did not restarting in the wendys drive through. so i had her tow it to a diesel shop to be looked at. them came back with needing a new vp44 pump. so i order the parts and installed them, got the truck running and drove it 20 miles or so. Got home it sat for 30min and went to start it and it took way longer then normal. So i thought the pump might be making to much pressure so i unplugged the cable to the raptor and the truck fired right up. plugged the cable back in and it hard starts. Crank pressure is 11-12. idle is 16-17 and wot 14-15. so i let the problem go as the truck manly sets and when I do drive it I let it run never turning it off, so today I drove it, turn it off and lets just say she got towed home will not restart. crank psi 12. Not sure but i think the vp44 has gone bad. have no codes. What do you guys think. Thanks for the help.
