Have you verified that it doesn't?

Beans has a kit. But you will pay for it...

You could build a DIY kit for less than half of the kit.

Not yet waitin in hospital for second son to arrive, so I thought I would do some research while waiting. Someone said there was a rod to transfer from old pump to new one, but they looked the same to me.

look into switching to a super-duty type set-up. I have an electric standard pressure pump on the frame, the stock fuel filter (and return)set-up, and finally through a super-duty (higher pressure) pump. There are variations on this including completely removing the stock fuel bowl.

That is awesome. Congrats on the soon to be addition to the family.

When you do get back to the motor, you need to verify that it has that lobe. Might even stick something in the hole and turn the motor over to see if it goes up and down.

Looks like it just replaces the factory one? I don't see a need... After watching that companies youtube videos where the ran an electric fuel pump on the frame feeding a stock OBS fuel bowl which isn't designed for those pressures, I wouldn't buy anything from them...


By the way... Welcome to DB!! Don't forget to fill in your signature with your trucks information.
