Went to run a number to install a lift pump for an 01 CTD and under the usual part number for the lift pump they show another number for a in tank conversion. Got one on the way.

 

You might want to double check that. It is probably for a gasser. I ran across the same thing. I had a not-very-knowledgeable parts guy, that knew nothing about diesels.

actually its possible to relocate the LP to the tank. I know a guy on another board that installed an intank fuel pump from a V10 and said that it worked great.

 

I thought about doing that a while back with a gasser pump, but never got around to playing with it. What did he do for a regulator on the gasser pump? I'm quite certain he's not pushing the stock 45 psi up to his VP.

 

J Body, I read this a few years ago...so cant remember the specifics. Just know that it can be done. Sorry man.

Yeah, 45 psi to the VP is too much. I dont really see why a petroleum rated industrial type pressure regulator wouldnt work.

 

I read on TDR that there is an in-tank fuel pump for the 2nd gens. I believe it is similar to the 3rd gen in-tank fuel pumps. According to what I've read, DC are replacing all warranty LP work with the new in-tank. Here's a link if you're interested:

Yes, 98-02 big tank pn 5175538AA. Got one on the way.

 

Do you mind if I ask what it cost? Are you installing it yourself?

 

Truck is still under warranty. I just did it's first VP this past saturday. Was going to r/r the lift pump too until I found out about the conversion kit. I'll just not pull the trailer until that is installed. Fuel volume is borderline right now.

My truck is going in to Dodge tomarrow to get the lift pump tested

I think it is bad as I am only getting around 10 PSI of fuel pressure @ idle.

I am going to ask them about this part # and see what they say.

Thanks

 

Let me know what they say, I'm at 10 at idle also but a 1/2 pedal will bring down under 5. I wont do WOT runs anymore until I get it replaced, or do it my self.

 

No in tank conversion according to the parts guy, but I wasn't overly impressed with the dealer.

But they did get in today, check it and replace it free of charge. No hassles.

So I can't complain.

Fuel pressure is up now. Around 14-15 idling. 9-10 WOT and 12-13 cruising.

 

Did you give them the part number?? Dealers.....

 

....and how do you think I came up with this info?

 

Went to my dealer yesterday to pick up an oil filter and asked about a lift pump and they don't even sell them anymore, has a big bulletin about the in-tank conversion for the 98-02 diesels. I still think I'd opt for a new lift pump and RASP though.
