tomorrow i am going to put injectors in my truck. i am not so much worried about the injectors but the banks big hoss causing to much stress on my VP44 and the LP. i do not have a FP guage but i am in the process of getting one. For now the box is working great but i like the idea of the injector espicially for the ETH. my truck runs great and i have never had a problem with it and i do not want to start now. this is my question to you all. should i not install the injectors and just run the box or should i run both of them, or the injectors and the true torgue modual from diesel dynamics. thanks for your responce.

No one can predict when your lift pump/ injector pump will die. I just went through replacing both. Put the gauge on for piece of mind. It will tell you if the lift pump is up to snuff. That appears to be the major cause of failure for the vp44. Another good thing is the replacement of the 5 banjo bolts in the fuel line ( 2 on lift pump, 2 on fuel filter and 1 on injector pump) with bigger ones. Geno's sells them with the 10 washers you'll need. This will flow more fuel with less resistance. This should set you up with all the fuel your setup will need.

Agree w/Bill - Get the banjo bolts. I think you should install them before the injectors to provide optimum fuel flow to the VP & injectors.



Hint, hint - since you are ordering the banjo bolts - get the FP gage. The gage is cheap insurance especially since it appears you are your own warranty station or, will soon be in the future.



I liked the Westach's on the "A" pillar, the lamps are so close to factory at night, I've been asked if the gages were factory.
