Okay. Well, I think you know the answer here... your lift pump's dead...
probably burned out the motor. The CP3 is capable of sucking it's own
fuel
(as it does in the Duramax application), but that lift pump's a big ol'
restriction, so I'm surprised it even ran at all. Fortunately, the CP3's
a
whole lot tougher than the VP44, so I'm sure it's fine. You're just going
to need a new lift pump, which should hopefully be covered under warranty
(unless they try and duck out of a legitimate warranty repair because of
the
aftermarket stuff you've got). And, if they do the repair (either under
warranty or not - but I would STRONGLY recommend doing it yourself if they
won't warranty it, and you don't feel like fighting them for it - they'll
wind up charging you 2-3 times what a FASS would cost you), they're going
to
change you over to the in-tank pump. Now, the good news about that is, it
retains your stock fuel filter/fuel heater, and makes the installation of
an
aftermarket pump that much easier, since you'll already have the bulkhead
fitting on the fuel filter canister (in place of the old stock lift pump
that used to be bolted there).
