Go with a full AD or Fass for an electric pump. Fuel Boss is a mechanical pump that several here have had good sucess with. There are 1 or 2 other mechanical out there also.

I was reading a lot about the upgrade and I was thinking on fass but I need make another's modifications right? Or can I leave the old pump on the tank and just install the new one ?

All the old fuel system has to be removed. The pump in the tank and all the fuel lines which are too small. The FASS, AirDog or even the mechanical pumps upgrade all the plumbing to full 1/2" plumbing. You'll end up putting a draw straw in the tank. Running all brand new 1/2" fuel hose and fittings. I highly suggest you keep your factory fuel filter. Double filtering is a bonus.

Mechanical fuel boss and a draw straw is a good set up that’s what I run too  I would highly recommend a fuel pressure gauge along with the install if you don’t already have one. Typically you will see between 17 and 19 psi. consistently with the fuel boss

thank you for taking the time to answer, I think I have seen on a website a vulcan kit is that a good selection or you think I can get something better ?

You made a good choice. 

Thanks my friend I think my truck knew when to finish the race December is the month of vacation for her hahaha I had the worst of experiences with a powerstroke and without thinking one day I came home with a cummins I am more than satisfied with these beasts

I would also grab a fleet guard fuel strainer to run on your fuel feed line which will catch the larger stuff if you happen to run across some dirty fuel. 

Fleetguard FF5079

Thank you for the advice I just check the link small details makes a big difference

Vulcan is a good supplier of the isspro ev series gauges, I have the isspro electric fuel pressure gauge myself but the mechanical fuel pressure gauge is just as good if not better, just depends if you want to run the fuel line into cab or not, 

 

what ever one you decide to go with, getting the complete installation kit is a good idea that way your not sourcing bit and pieces to get it installed.

my fuel boss is plumbed from stock pick up, stock hard line at frame. from there it is all 3/8 push lok. i still have factory filter house/heater installed, along with a fass ddrp that was on the truck when i purchased it. i had 1 piece of junk hang the return check valve open after install way back in 2014. not one issue since. i also see 22 psi when running, 24-25 at wot. 

 

not 22 psi at cranking, as pressure increases with rpm, so at crank, the psi is very low.
