It comes as a complete bolt on kit. It attaches a pulley to the flywheel and the pump mounts to a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the oil pan. The only real thing that can go wrong is a belt breaking. I carry an extra with me just in case and it takes less then 10 minutes on any roadside with no tools to replace it.

It is designed to be used with an electric pump being used as a primer pump. Since this one is RPM driven, at start up you have no pressure until the motors gets turnin. I have been runnin this thing for at least a year now with no electric pump even installed and no problems at all. I have full pressure within 3 seconds of turning the key.

The best part of this pump is that because it is RPM driven, the higher the RPM's the more fuel it feeds through. I have mine set at about 13psi at idle and 18psi at WOT.

Price is within a few dollars of the Air Dog or FASS.

You can do a search for the MITUSA Pump for more info. MITUSA (Made In The USA)

The truck is 10 years old, if this is the first problem you've had, can't say its been a bad run!!

You are right sir. It's just to the point where it's going to need some work. It's got 175,000 miles on it. I'll have to put some money into it and it'll go for another long run. It's not all that bad. Just have to put in some overtime!

I got 385k on mine,so far had to change both front wheel bearings once each,the passenger balljoints,and had the rear caliper seize up (fixed that for about $35)and a couple U-joints on the last joint.
A couple of broken clutches,several stock LP's before I switched to the mitusa pump (I've got over 150k on the original belt,never any problems at all)
first engine had 325k or so on it if I remember right when the block cracked right across a main bearing web,I'd changed the IP on that one twice,and changed the one on this engine once too,still loving my truck,nothing beats the song of the Cummins,IMO
