Did the truck seem to run the lines dry since cp3 has to pull threw the lift pump? My pump quit working for reasons unknown yet since its raining, haven't had a chance to find out why. Since it quit working the truck bogs down if you try to give it too much throttle.
Just making sure the lift pump not working is the culprit.

Most lift pumps are only "flow thru" under normal driving conditions anyway. Try to get on the throttle too much with it off and the truck will bog right down like something is seriously wrong. Done that a couple times at the track. :doh: Funny as hell running a 15. :rolleyes:

I had to pull my FASS pump out b/c it started groaning very loudly. No warranty, either.

What Joe and Tom said. I have had three fail 1 on my truck and 2 others that I had installed for others. They will restrict flow enough that part throttle is all you get. I had intentions of putting a check valve/bypass in my current set up so that if the pump dies the cp3 can just pull fuel around the pump.

Yep thats what is happening here. Only giving it part throttle. First I thought maf was unplugged. Didnt have a chance to work on it today. Been busy working on the Mariner.

Looking for a good cp3 pump any good places to pick one up .
Not exactly a lift pump but I'll bite. What motor? Need details. Any mods? Future plans?

Several places you can buy from. Whatever you do don't cheap out.
