Did this setup on my 98.5 24v works great and is still working great 8 years down the road!

Oh yeah! These old Dodge trucks take me back, man! Childhood! Late 90s/early 2000s! I was in grade school at the time these were brand new. Hahaha! :D

great video! Thank you for taking the time to show your very good idea.

Good morning .. Nice Vid. I have a 99 that I have owned since 2000. Like you I was seeing a loss of pressure.on my fuel system. After changing the stock pump at the engine several times. I relocated the stock carter pump to the frame rail like you did with the holly blue. I still had lift pump failures but the failures were extended to about every 2 years. Vulcan performance out of Vancouver has a frame rail pump relocation kit . I tried the Fass but it failed in 3 months and fass left me on the side of the road for a week till they were able to get a replacement coming . I got tired of waiting so I brought a stock replacement and re plumbed a old spare stock replacement at the frame rail. If you go back to the stock pump... go to Cummins direct and buy from them much much cheaper! Nice 3500!

Very clean install man.

Man you have an absolutely beautiful truck I have a 2000 model I'm literally at a hundred miles away from hitting 100,000 miles I love your setup this truck was a gift from my dad to me it was his first brand new vehicle he bought it brand new in 99 and it is a 2000 and I'm literally wanting to upgrade it I want to keep it original but with upgrades if that makes any sense LOL I'm new to all this diesel stuff but I love these trucks I do I love the tires that you got everything so I am going to be a new subscriber and watching a lot of videos thank you and have a blessed day my friend

I love the simplicity!!! Right on !

Good stuff I just recently bought a Airdog for my truck

You just saved me from dropping $800 on a fass. Thank you

Just wanted to let you know I did the same mod after watching your video, so thanks for that! I did mount the regulator that came with it, I have 18 at idle and 16 WOT now

I have an 02, When I bought it the dealer at some point changed the carter for a pump in the tank. It worked but not exceptional at all, all I did is buy the OEM carter pump and put it back on the engine and left the tank pump hooked up. Essentially the same as here but easier. I have 15-18 lbs at idle and have never seen it go below 8-9 lbs hauling my 36 ft RV up hills and anywhere you want to go.

Great video man

Got the same truck an running into the exact same problem lol. Nice job.

Thank you for the video it definitely helped.

I should have never had looked at you tube. Had a 47re transmission problem. That is fixed. Thanks you tube. 2002 with 373k. No fuel pressure gage. Original lift pump. Original vp44 pump. Completely stock . Runs great. Only regular maintenance. Just got a leak on lifterblock cover/ cam cover plate or whatever they call it. Vacuum pump also leaking. Going to fix and thought about changing some fuel related things while I have it apart. Mainly lift pump and the horror stories on you tube are enough to make me lose sleep and wonder when my truck is going to leave me stranded. Think I will sell it and go electric

Really cool video man. Thanks

Did it to mine a few weeks ago, works great so far.

got the pump last night thanks for saving me ton of money,

Great video. Thank you!

Holy cow!! All the freakin pressure geez

That's a nice truck I'm a Cummins fan also I'm about to change our the transmission in my truck maby next week or so

Thanks for the good advice

Hey man thanks for the help I did the same thing

Great video, good explanations of what you did and the logic behind what you did!! What brand and model are your gauges. They look sweet! Thx! Nm, I was able to pause at a one point and saw they are Glow Shift.

Great 👍 Video. Thanks.

Thanks, no one in Texas has the stock lift pump, I’ll try one of these

Interested in how long this has lasted because I have always been told to keep between 15 to 20 psi of fuel pressure to the VP. Is your truck modded in any way like injectors turbo and tune? I run mine at 18 and have 120 injectors and I feel like I can bump it to 20 psi so just curious if this has lasted you a fair bit of time thanks

Thank you…. Great video and very affordable

I ran a separate relay to power the Holley Blue, and power the coil of the relay via stock fuel feed. Coil draw is only milliamperes, pump pressurizes off key switch now.

I m inthe process of doing the same setup ,i also have a caterpillar filter and a water separator, but i m tired of paying a shop or mechanic to lower the tank just to replace the intank pump so i went this same route.. question...does this pump supply enough fuel pressure tothe cp3 , i have an 2005?,,intalling a sump also.

Well maintained; these trucks will last forever!! Obviously upgrading to a better lift pump and taking care of the Killer Dowel Pin!!

Install a sump ($30 ebay) and replace the fuel lines with rubber ones ($60 ebay). Made a big difference on my 12 valve. Started up instantly afterwards.

great video thabks

I added the Holly Blue about 2 yrs ago but I used the pressure regulator and set it at 15# that is recommended for the 2nd gen,works good. (I have a in tank pump that was getting weak)

Great video, just recently found your channel and I'm in love with your truck! I have a question, why is it better to have higher fuel pressure?

Great video and information. Thank you. Nice truck btw.

Do you think if you would have used your regulator you would have had to add the toggle switch?

My 02 2500 had the in tank pump. It was completely clogged at the bottom of the fuel basket. I installed a raptor. Hopefully it last.

So can I clarify. You have the holley running to the stock pump and stock pump to engine? Then does the manual switch power both pumps or just the holley? And it just stays on all the time?

Ok great idea. Not sure if holleys are diesel fuel compatible? Also its best to use the band type clamps for long term use they don't cut into the hose and loosen with time like the ones you are using. if your going to use a filter on the inlet make it more of a screen type just to get the stuff that may lock up the pump. electric pumps push well but don't pull well at all. use a second finer filter after the pump. Also always use a relay and carry a spare.

I like the way you set it up,I was wondering if I could just cut the rubber line instead on the metal line close to the tank,I think its rubber farther away from the tank?

I have an airdog raptor 4g in my truck (came from previous owner). Would you recommend taking that out and putting this holly in, instead?

Liked and subscribed, nice work! How long has the pump been working for you?

Ok so, if you don't turn on the pump will the truck still runs? Or you have to turn it on?? Because I saw in the box is not for sale in California but I'm assuming if the truck still working without the external pump on, you can turn it off before take it to smog station right...? And in order to keep the dash clean and no buttons use a relay instead and just get the signal from the stuck pump done deal...

Really great video on lift pumps. I have a 2002 FS65 bus with a 5.9/24v/vp44. I need dependability with simple repairs. The Hooly blue is definitely the answer here. Just having tandem lift pumps is absolutely reassuring.

How did you get the air out the line from in between the Holley and fuel tank?

So,5 years later, do you still have your 24v? I have 2 2500’s and bought a wrecked 3500 for parts. Love my 2gens. Much love from NC🤙

sir but you have the original lift pump on the tank? or on the block

I did virtually the same thing. Mounted a Holley blue on the frame just in front of the tank and left the stock carter pump in place and ran both together but I had a dedicated ignition on power source so when the key was on the Holley was on. ( noisy pump) but It makes more sense to have both run together only when the engine is running or with a bump start. Any way the Holley went south in a couple years and the stock pump can’t draw fuel thru the Holley so a emergency bypass if needed would help. It left me stuck so I crawled under and removed the bottom plate on the Holley and removed the rotor assembly so fuel would pass thru and put the plate back on. Due to stock pump now going bad I’m glad I had bought a second Holley blue couple years ago and stashed it so I’m putting it to use.

Love those tires what kinda tires are those and size also what kinda of lift you got

Where did you get the head lamps, looking to upgrade mine

Okay I did it, currently trucks not starting anymore. I only have the red wire hooked up to the fuel pump relay, it didn’t come with a relay, the pump is on when I turn my key and it’s loud so I’ll have to make it work only when I’m cranking, so far 2/5 stars. Keep getting air in the line

do you have to have the wire coming from the stock plug

Sooo..... You are unsure if your stock lift pump is still putting anything out? What set up do you have for stocker? engine mounted or in tank? I'm just weighing options at the moment. Is the holley still going strong?

So you ran a toggle switch off positive battery side,did you just ground into the frame?

What about when cutting the line? Is there fuel going to pour out? Do you need to have the tank almost empty? My truck has in tank pump.

I am curious about this as my understanding is the after 21 psi the vp44 stops working. I have had experience with this. I was using an airdog 150 at the time and put a 30 psi spring in, and it started and ran great, but i stopped for fuel and i could not get the truck to restart at the gas station i had to disconnect the fuel line at the gas station and swap the spring back and it started right up. Does anyone know the limitations of these 44's? right now i run 21 psi at idle and hold strong at 18-20 while cruising on my 4gII 160 airdog.

Will this set up work on a 2006 dodge Cummins

Do you think that this will work on a 12valve? Also wondering if this will work on a Duramax? Thanks

I'm a little late to the party. did you ever make it to the fass? how long did the Holley last i need a lift pump for a 3rd gen and don't want to spend big bucks

Hey Crazy Acres, how's this working out long term for you?

Where did you get the headlight assembly? I need some fresh eyes.

What tires and size on that ram? Looks nice.

I just looked the pump up, it says maximum pressure is 14 psi, is this an inaccurate number or are the rest of your psi coming from vp pump?

So you don't have the lift pump on the side of the block?

What do you mean you cut the wires off the lift pump plug?

But, if someone else should drive your truck and "not" turn on the Toggle Switch they could damage ( by starving) your Injector Pump !!!

I didn't understand why you couldn't hook up the originals power wires. You went from the battery to the new pump. You also said some thing about not having the water trap with this mod. Will that hurt anything? I thinks you should tell the factory about this, sounds like a great idea to me.

How much psi are they suppose to have. I'm not a fan of the fass. They are loud pumps

Do you think running just the blue with no stock pump at all ( with block off plate ) would still provide the same pressures as you said in your description under the video?

Do you know exactly what wiring harness you used?

I didn't think you were supposed to go over 20 psi feeding your VP44?

They aren't meant for diesel fuel. Put one on my truck and it would get hot and shut off. Had to return it. Also ran like crap as if it weren't getting enough psi

I'm at 6psi looked them up online says they are for gas only or is there a diesel pump

August 2019 How is it holding up? Any issues at all? Any changes? Switching my pump, filter, VP44, injectors all out. (leaving the stock filter as a secondary filter) Just curious about your holley set up. Thx for sharing.

Just put one in up by the front wheel Inside frame used existing hole. For The plastic. Tubing bracket. Drilled 1 hole(. I used your great idea Of. Using. Light kit plug ) Used the regulator Screwed it all the way in No more than 13- 14 psi Going to. Bypass it to see What pressure I get

Does the pump work with the lift pump in the tank or just the one on the block

Are you running rear wheel spacers

What issue were you experiencing other than the low pressure on your gauge?

Is 25 psi a little high for a VP 44 ?

Its supposed to be 15-20psi

23psi is bad. Way to high. Fass only puts out 17 to 18 at idle.

Are you still running the same set up, and is that Holley a gas or diesel pump?

Good deal man... What's pressure drop to at WOT?

What's the furthest you've driven at one time with this pump?

Just did this mod, and wanted to share one thing with anyone interested, if the holley pump is off fuel will run out and engine will die..

Lift or leveling kit?

Hi is you pump still working.

is that loud and prouds old dually

bro, so you telling me you added a fuel pump but also added a 12v mod to factory lift pump?

does that truck have a in tank pump ?

so the holly blue just pushes fuel into the stock lift pump still?

Would this work if i have an in-tank lift??

You don’t need that much pressure, plus those in line fuel filters are really small for diesel it may destroy your vp44

My fuel pump was geting low psi turn out to b factory wiring bad wire now after fixing the wires it gets 20 psi

How has it held up?

20 psi is Max on a VP so if you regulate it down to 20 the truck will actually start better mine lives and 20 all the time fires right up And excessive pressure can kill a VP just as quickly asno fuel pressure

4 yrs later I looked across internet for this pump. You said 20 plus psi all I can find for Holley blue pump's is 14 max psi.

Any way to turn it down to 17-19?

What tires do you have on their?
