I helped my roommate put a holley blue on his 01 2500 2wd 5spd yesterday because his factory lift pump was was only putting out about 6-7psi going down the highway at 70mph and could easily be pulled below 5psi. His truck is stock other than a straight pipe. We mounted the pump to the frame just in front of the tank and used the factory lift pump harness to trigger a relay and the blue is run off of the relay. Our wiring connections are all solid and at idle we are seeing around 18-20 psi which is great. The problem is that as soon as you touch the throttle the pressure drops rapidly according to rpms. When you drive the truck as soon as you get to about 40mph you cant keep the pressure above 5 psi. This is accelerating very slowly. The fuel filter is new, just a couple hundred miles on it and i know we couldn't have gotten enough contamination in the lines to clog it. I know there are a lot of people running these holley pumps and seeing solid pressures so I don't understand why we are seeing so much better pressures at idle but other than that the pressures are so much worse. Using a mechanical isspro gauge without an isolator to monitor pressure so it doubtful that we are seeing bad readings. Any help is appreciated because I am stumped.

sounds like it could be a bad pump, mine shows 12 psi at idle and i can draw it down to 8, never shows anything else, i am using the same fuel pressure gauge setup as you. are you using a big line kit?
 
Still using all the stock lines. As of now we still have to stock pump running but may try bypass it completely. Anybody know what fittings I would need to hook into the back of the stock fuel filter?
 
Did you blow back through the lines into the tank??? Sounds like the intank "sock" might be partially plugged... might not have been anything wrong with the last pump...



Or you might have a serious restriction somewherebetween the tank and your guage sending unit...
