Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cavitation is NOT your VP-44's friend!

Don't know if anyone is still checking on this thread but thankyou for your findings! Thought I had lost my 3rd LP this morning when the pressure dropped to 3 psi and stayed there. I was ready to spend the "big bucks" for a FASS when I found this thread. Using your findings I opened the fuel filter drain and ran the pump a couple of times then closed the drain and the pressure came back to 10psi from 2-3 psi. Started the truck and the pressure bounced back to 13 psi. I have ordered a Vulcan Relocation Kit from Geno's and will install it with this current pump. I still have the last pump, I'm tempted to try reinstalling it with the new location and see if it comes back? Thanks Gary for your work!
