when did dodge stop mounting lift pumps externally and start installing in the fuel tanks?

 

Dodge started using the in-tank pumps on the 2004.5 trucks. Any replacements done by Dodge on earlier trucks were converted to the in-tank pump as well.

 

when they found out the everyone else found out how easy it was to replace and cheap.

come on, if they could put a force field around these engines, so that no one can touch them except the dealer, they would.

 

MY05 was the first year for the in-tank pumps. One of the smarter things they did on the fuel system.

 

Late 05...some of the early 05s still had fuel-bowl mounted pumps.

No.

 

Umm, yes...might not be "the norm" but several guys had 05s over at TDR with filter mounted pumps.

You would have to have read the threads to know that...Dodge service books don't have that info.

No different that some 05s having an NV5600 when they were supposed to have the G56.

Yeah, I never understood the herd mentality hating the in-tank pump.

 

I looked at the first 05's to hit the lots. I bought an 05. I have probably been under the hood of 20 plus 05's and there is NOT a filter mounted pump to be seen. Ever.

ANY suspected 05 truck with a filter mounted pump was NOT built in MY05, it was a chassis with evrything except the body on it at the time the production line was shut down for the MY switch over. If you ever tracked the build numbers on the engine back it would go to an 04.5.

There is the outside possibility, very remote, that some of these made it through but they were still not an MY05 build.

MY05 was the start of the intank pumps, TTVA motors, and APPS inside the cab. Mid 05 was a switch over to G56 and away from a plastic tank CAC. It is way more likely there was bleed over in the mid year switches than MY switches.

 

I owned a 04.5...you are preaching to the choir.

Oddballs exist...that was my point. And those were 05s we were discussing way back in the day...they were another learning curve at the time. Again, like a 05 with an NV5600.
