Piston LP and updated gallery
Well I got some of the parts a couple months ago for doing the piston lift pump conversion and I finally got it all together this weekend. I haven't been able to take her out for a good spin yet as its snowing. I didn't want to spend the $500 cdn$ that it would have cost to do the cummins conversion. So i decided I would do it my own way. I wanted a less restrictive system and wanted the higher psi pump. I had to drill and tap out the filter housing because the threads on the banjo bolts are an odd thread and it would have cost too much to have an adapter made so I tapped both the inlet and outlet to 1/4npt. I also wanted bigger lines too so i put reducers on everything to 1/2"npt. The only thing i purchased from cummins was the spacer plate and a gasket. I bought the piston lp from a local bosch dealer for $80cdn!!! I was pretty happy about that, its an industrial ve pump style piston lp so it is lower psi then those for the p-pump. All together I spent about $120cdn on it and got a better gain from lowering the restriction.
I also finally loaded all my pics off my camera so theres quite a few more pics in my gallery now, including pics with the 20"s on so have a look if you like. If anybody has any questions about my conversion i'd be more then happy to answer them
