    Question Losing fuel pressure

    Wanted to run this by you guys and get some ideas. This is a 2004 ext cab with 6.0, cam, headers, and so on. Was runing a bone stock fuel system for the last year with this setup. Literally overnight it started running like crap only at wot. Get a gauge on it and at wot it's falling to high 30s fuel psi...... Since then added 42lb injectors, walbro 255, new pressure regulator....no change..... Any one got any ideas???

    Only at wot or close to it. Other wise completely normal. Swapped relay around with another truck. Connections are clean and good.

    Check ur voltage at the pump see if ur getting the right power to it, if ur not getting the right fuel I'd start at the source I go from there.

    I'm not trin to sound like a dick I'm trin to help, if ur getting correct voltage at the pump, ur loosing fuel at the rail, I assume u checked ur filter and for leaks, I'm sayin new or old ur pumps not puttin out, I'd pull the pump make sure it's not stops up first. Also there's a ground on pass firewall that gets loose n shuts off the relay to the pump
