I'm fairly new to the TDR/CTD scene, so this question may have been addressed many a time before... but here goes:
Is there another option when it comes time to replace the VP44 then simply slapping another one in there? IF (or is it "when"?) mine goes, I'd like to know if I have any other options for replacement. Info such as manufacturer, COST(always the biggie), and where I can find more info on the product would be extremely useful.
I ask this because I've been reading about how the FASS system can replace the factory lift pump. I figured that if something goes wrong with what I've already got... then why in the eternal-inferno would I want to put the exact same thing back on?!
I am by NO MEANS a diesel mechanic. Nor do I claim to understand how the lift pump, VP44, or anything else on my truck works. I've got the mechanical ability to turn a screwdriver... but that's about it. So, please "dumb-down" your replies so that I can understand. I usually do pretty good with single-syllable words.
TIA,
Dave
