PPE lift pump?

mcdaniel1991 · Sep 19, 2012

My 6.0 is making some weird vibrating noise and it sounds like its coming from the tank it's also takes a bit for it to start so I think I need a lift pump...I found this PPE one it's 160gph but I'd does not say anything about a built in filter which pump would y'all recommend (fass, air dog??)

I would try and actually figure out what is going on before just throwing parts at it, but that's just me. Are you sure you need a pump? What mods are you running now and what's your fuel pressure at now?

Prolly sound like a noob(kinda am) but I haven't checked the pressure (I'm stationed in Germany so parts and stuff are difficult to get) I'm running straight exhaust coolant filter and the EGR is deleted that's about it I'm not even tuned yet. How would I go about checking the FP and is the pump inside the tank or out

The pump is on the frame rail kind of under drivers door. The pump is in the same assembly as the fuel filter you've probably put in down there.

Get a fuel pressure gauge for this thing. One that stays in the truck permanently.

Ok I'll get on any certain brand or gauge kit you recomend...does the edge Cts display the FP I have been wanting to get the Cts monitor for a while not if not I'll just get a gauge

Has anyone used this yet http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350601446192&globalID=EBAY-US looks pretty sweet

It will read fuel pressure but you have to buy the sensor and add it on

Never even heard of those gauges personally. I use ISSPRO EV2's.

I have glowshift gauges. I like mine especially for the $$

It says it comes with all sensors and probs for the gauges

I have glowshift gauges as well and have had no problems with them.

The edge unit will need a add on sensor, contact edge or a vendor and they can walk you thru what you need. Also with a short google search you will probably know everything you ever wanted about it.

Well I did and it says fuel rail pressure only on duramax engines

The CTS only reads certain parameters on each different vehicle. Pretty much anything your ECM can read. You will need to buy the add on pressure sensor to read fuel pressure.

As for the GlowShift gauges. I have used them and had no problems. I had pyro, boost, trans temp, and fuel pressure. The fuel pressure gauge was always pretty accurate.

I have the CTS now and love it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
