Your Choice

If Genos is saying it is a good setup, then go with it, or test for yourself w/ both setups if you have a little extra time and cash. Maybe you can find someone that has tried both that has more experience w/ it. I am emailing you a poor quality MPEG file that I took at night so you can't see the gauge but you can here the LP if you crank up the sound. I just hope you have the 15 psi after you replace the pump. If you still have 9 (or whatever you read before) then you still have problems at the schraeder port.

Can't email

Tried to email you the file but the system says you do not wish to receive emails. If still interested, PM me with your email and I will send it

Thanks for the offer. I did replace the LP last night. When I shut the fuel filter drain off for some reason it did not seat right, bumped the starter, I had fuel allllllll over my shop floor, this new pump is really quite compared to the old one.

 

[MrFixit]

Did it work???

Did it fix your problem??? Do you have pressure?????

 

[DDT]

So far I have not had a stumble yet, I know this pump pulls more fuel. I have not checked pressure yet, my meachical guage only goes to 10 lbs, it maxed it out so I will wait for my sending unit to get here.

I thought I would check my map sensor, do you know what sixe of socket it takes, it would have to be a deep well?

Ok, Keep us informed.

Well my sending unit won't be here till mid next week. Since the new LP, I have noticed the engine noise to be quite loader, I can not hear the turbo sing to me any more. I just made a 130 mile trip, hand figured 17. 1 mpg. The whole trip was raining so 55 to 65 mph was all I did. boost pressure was 5 to 7 1/2 lbs pyro at 700. I was sure I would get closer to 20 this time. I even drove like grandma!!! Is there any thing else I can check?

I got my new sending unit yesterday. It works, I have 15lbs @ idel and about 10 lbs @ 70. I can suck it down to 8 lbs @ WOT.

Thanks for alllll your help

Sounds about right to me. Don't kknow if the Dually w/ 4:10 gets much better, especially w/ 4X4. You might have to ask others with your combo. I am still curious what your old pump would have registered.
