Replace lift pump or wait?
My truck has 200k miles on it and my lift pump has been acting up,Should i change it or wait till it goes out?And with a lift pump going bad can this affect performance of the truck?:tu:

the stock lift pump on my 98 I had issues and after the 3rd one I used one of these pumps and have not looked back works great
2 things to make sure you do put in a cheap inline fuel filter before pump it is a gear pump and after a few years the o rings might leak from diesel fuel otherwise they work great i would take out all lift pumps for these the stock pump is like 110 gph @9-12 psi @ 1800 rpm so these are real close http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Flow-Performance-Electric-Fuel-Pump-140GPH-Universal-Fit-3-8-NPT-Ports-/330873921560?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d099f6018 |

What do you mean by acting up?

I made my lift pump delete plate out of a 1/4 piece of steel on the dodge it was mounted on the frame rail just above brake line that goes to the wheel

Clicking,hard starts,long time to start,etc.

look on the frame right where the brake line goes to the front wheel there is a hole in the frame I just used a homemade bracket just get it as low as possible for sucking from the tank

Just like to add my thoughts.
Most of the cheaper pumps cannot sustain the p7100 pressure needs for long, they often fail within a couple years. If you intend to install a eletric pump I'd recommend that you look at a fass or air dog unit. I honestly feel installing a electric pump is a waste of time and money until about 500+rwhp. Above 500 is where you start to see pressure drops. In factory applications we reinstall the cummins pump and offer a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty. I've yet to replace one a second time. When replacing the pump with the electric pump it's ideal to switch to a fixed orifice overflow valve which will keep fuel pressure stable throughout various conditions.

Sounds like someone gave you vp specs.

When we install the product all aspects are tested from tank restriction and cam wear to after completion fuel pressure test. That being said when i say we offer a 3yr/36k warranty it covers labor and diagnosis. The whole 9 yards. That warranty exceeds most manufacturer shops as well as indies and from my research most warranties of this nature are capped at 36k. Very few shops offer anything higher. The majority are 12mo/12k. I did see some that offered a 50k warranty but in those instances they charged extra for the warranty. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2 |
