What kind of lift pump is on it?

Since its a stock lift pump, Its not enough to support the fuel demands of the Edge. What is your fuel pressure at right now? If its too low you will starve the injection pump which is the last thing you wanna do.

it is a stock replacement
There's your problem. With the Edge programmer turned up to Max it will burn your VP up from a lack of fuel pressure. $900-$1500. For a new VP-44. You need a better liftpump asap. Check out dtt asassin, Fass, airdog, Raptor. :thumbsup: You need atleast 15 psi but a lot of guys shoot for 20 psi at idle and no lower then 10-12 at wot.

Cummins6sp5.9 is exactly right. Theres no way the stock pump will keep up with the Edge. I personally would look into a FASS or DTT Assassin. The new AirDog pumps have been having some issues.

I would say yes...its causing them to run hotter. Get a better lift pump on there as soon as you can.

You might want to verify with a mechanical gauge its been known for electric gauges like Edge Juice to fail and start to skew up or down a bit and read false numbers after water hammer damage has taken place to the sender.
