Here's the challenge with that...
Lots of people love to sell or push the A1000/Fuelab style pumps. What they don't usually tell you is that these are RACE PARTS. I love the Fuelab pumps, and Fuelab as a company has been awesome to us and our customers, but unlike many of my competitors...I draw a line between reliability and performance and I try to make sure my customers understand that moving to race level parts ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A DOUBT reduces reliability (in terms of "chances of a failure"). I'm not saying that you are guaranteed a failure if you run an A1000 or Fuelab pump, but the simple fact is that the OE Bosch fuel pump has proven to be a STELLAR product in terms of reliability, we commonly see them go 200k+ miles without so much as a hiccup...and the aftermarket race pumps, while great in their own rights, just don't live nearly as long.
My point is simply this...if you are considering purchasing a race pump (or any other "race" parts) but your priorities for your "work truck" lean heavily toward "reliability"...you may have a conflict. I would give this serious consideration...particularly if this is a truck that gets driven a lot of miles (distance from home)...where a breakdown could be costly (tow bill) and difficult to resolve (waiting for a replacement pump to ship to you).
This is one of the reasons that our fuel system products have always been "modular". You can do the pieces that best fit YOUR needs and priorities. The Regulated Return kits we offer (either "Standard" or "Bowl Delete") will work and not reduce reliability. Our Pre-Pump/Tank Kit can be used now with your stock pump, and then upgraded to work with 5/8" pickup and hose IF you ever take that leap. Our Post-Pump filter kits work with either the stock pump or aftermarket pump. Lots of options...
The biggest problem with the internet and getting recommendations from forums is that, for the most part, everyone will recommend what THEY run on their personal truck. That's because they feel like they did their homework and made the best choice, and they may even have reasons they didn't use a different product. What everyone else doesn't know is how YOU use your truck, what YOUR priorities are, what your GOALS are, etc. 50 people might jump in here and say to use a Fuelab pump because it's working awesome for them...some might point at our kit because we use Fuelab and have a full system with pickup tube, hose, bracket, wiring harness, etc... I will happily sell you a pump or complete setup if that's what you decide you want...but make sure you are making an informed decision and consider the negatives with the positives.
I've sold a lot of different aftermarket pumps (A1000, MagnaFuel, Fuelab, AirDog, AirDog II, FASS, Weldon) and had failures of ALL of them. I absolutely HATE getting calls from customers that are upset because a product we sold has left them broken down. This is a possible reality when you start moving farther and farther down the performance/race path...and I would prefer you be educated about it and know the chances before making your purchase rather than just sell you whatever the "latest and greatest" buzzword product is. Whether you do business with me or not...hopefully you will give thought to my warnings and consider YOUR situation carefully before making a purchase.
