Calling all diesel guys!

Well I wanted to wrap up this thread. I order a Fass Titanium 100GPH pump. Fass has actually changed their suction side to where you now modify the factory fuel pump assembly instead of drilling a hole in the tank. Honestly it was a bit more work and pretty tedious, but I liked this better so if I ever wanted to go back stock (not going to happen), I could swap assemblies and go. Also, this new pump is so quiet compared to any other Fass I've ever heard. You can barely hear it when it's priming, but it's definitely working. What took so long was I order a CP3 pump since my stock one was junk and it took forever to get here, but the truck runs great and I am very pleased.
I changed to an external pump with a Draw Straw in my old truck and found that it wouldn’t draw the fuel out of the tank once it reached 1/8 full. Later I bought the kit that bypassed the in tank pump in order to utilize the stock pickup and I could then have access to the last 1/8th of fuel. That being said you made a good choice in your fix.
