Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Advice on monitoring the lift pump pressure

[Dixon]

Ok guys after finding out firsthand what happens when the lift pump fails and not wanting to spend that kind of money again I need some advice. I need to decide if I want to install a fuel pressure gauge or a low fuel pressure warning light or just bite the bullet and purchase a FASS system. Does anybody have any experience with the warning light system? I know it's cheaper but is it just as good? And if you like the full gauge idea what kind do you suggest? One last thing what is the results when their is air bubbles between the lift pump and the injection pump? Will air take out a lift pump like it will a vp44? Thanks for the time,,ben

Gauges are a must! They will tell you about a problem way before the "idiot" light. Even if you go with a FASS, you still need gauges. I run Isspro EV FP, Pyro and Boost. They work and look great, especially at night. Don't have any info on your other questions. Cya, Marty

Get the F. A. S. S. it's a great product and it's worth the money. With proper filter changes you will not need to watch fuel pressure. I went through 3 lift pumps and 2 push pumps before I got my F. A. S. S. - a little late but never to late. It installs easy and comes with everything you need.
