Lift Pumps
While looking for info on lift pumps, I see much more posts and reviews on FASS and Airdogs. Personally I like AFE's 780 line but find almost nothing on reviews. Anyone know if there is a reason for that?

Also I won't buy another AFE product. Their tech line and customer service were horrible. Their techs were ***** who knew nothing about the 2017+ Superdutys and even their own product, and their customer service lost the pump I returned so it took almost 2 months to get my refund. Also I found it very frustrating they don't return emails or phone calls.
I'm waiting for FASS to come out with a 2017+ specific pump...

the 3rd party lift pump ,major players have lift pumps that filter down to 2 microns and do an excellent job of removing air and water from the fuel.
standard OEM pumps pump fuel, not so good on water seperation and do not address air entrapment.

My truck is tuned/deleted and I noticed running the higher hp tunes, it seems to hesitate until it gets more fuel. When the AFE "did" work, I noticed a significant improvement in lag.
I also like having the additional filtration and air separator.
And if it'll prolong my stock fuel pump, then that's an added bonus as well...

Alright, thanks for the explanation. It makes sense on a tuned truck. On a stock truck, I would say performance and filtering is adequate for the service life of the engine. The 2017 trucks no longer have a combined pump / filter / separator (DFCM) like the 2011-216 did. The electric pump is inside the fuel tank and the filter / separator is further up the frame rail.

But the best bang for your buck is to get the truck re-geared. 4.10's if your tires are 33-35 inches and 4.30's if you're doing 37's or bigger. If I could only upgrade one thing on the truck, it'd be the gearing...
Just PM if you have questions....
