Afternoon.I'm a full-time Rver, and tow a 26' fifth wheel about 25% of the time. I only have 140,000 miles on my Dodge, and since I'm retired I'd like for it to last another 10-15 years. It's a 1999 Dodge 2500 4x4 5spd 24 valve.My truck weighs 7700 pounds empty, and my fifth wheel weighs around 11,000. I have a Scangauge II, and also a EGT and boost gauge. I drive around 55mph towing and 60mph solo, and get around 10-11mpg towing, 20mpg solo. Oh, and my axle ration is 3.53 and everything in the truck is original equipment except for the Scangauge, EGT, and boost gauge.Now, for the question. I see a lot of discussion about things like lift pump failures and VP44 failures, which are IMHO inordinately expensive. We have the bad habit of boondocking (dry camping) in rather remote areas, so I'd not want to break way out there. Would it be in my best interests to contemplate purchasing and installing either or both a lift pump or VP44 fuel pump? I see discussion about good lift pumps 'saving' VP44s. In that case, perhaps it would be good to purchase a heavy duty lift pump and have it installed before bad things happen? If I did that, would that curb the chances somewhat of the fuel pump dying?Thanks for any and all answers.Silverjim
