Hi all
Was wondering if I can use the DDRP which I purchased when the truck went in for VP44 replacement (again). I believe that the the dealer did the in tank retro fit lift pump. Can I still use the FASS DDRP with the in-tank set up?

Thanks

 

No....you will not get good results (If you get any at all) if you try to pull through the in-tank pump.

You will either need to find a stock sending unit to go back to or contact your dealer you got the DDRP kit from and we can build you a line kit with a STK-1001 that would by-pass the in-tank pump.

 

I just purchased one as well. I am looking at putting a straw in the tank and getting rid of the stock pump in the tank. Then just mount the pump to the frame rail. Will that work?

 

You can if you wish....but honestly if you take advantage of the engine bracket...you wont have to extend the harness out from the engine.....or come up with a bracket.

What is needed to use a suciton tube with the DDRP is as follows:

1 -- STK-1001 (Suction Tube Kit)
14' -- FL-1001 (3/8's Hose)
1 -- BF-4001 (Banjo End fitting converting to 3/8" pushlock)

 

My truck might already have the harness back there we will have to wait and see as its being shipped from texas as we speak.

 

Thanks Dan
I have not contacted the place I got the DDRP from, I assume that they will have those parts that I need??? Also what is involved in installing this kit? Would I need to drop the tank and remove the in tank pump? Do you have a link to some instructions, or is it better to just return the DDRP and try something else?

Thanks
Mike

 

Well....we can make it work...with the above parts.....im going to bet they don’t have them on hand....they would have to come from us (Well the BF-4001's and Fuel line) as some of those parts are very new.

The tank is will need to be dropped any way you look at it if you have the in-tank pump. Either to put the stock sending unit back in or to install the suction tube kit.

I do not have instructions other than the FASS and HPFP kits for the 2005+ trucks that requires the a suction tube kit to be installed. You can glean off that and get the gist of it.

See Pages 7 and 8 here.....

Now we do have the HPFP (The kit instructions i linked to above) that you could install and make work. If you are 100% positive you have the in-tank pump installed, you can order the kit for the 05+ trucks and it will come with everything need to complete the install. BUT this will only work if you have the in-tank pump.

Part number is: HPFP-95-1004 (For the 2005+ Dodge)

 

Thanks again Dan
So when I call the place that I ordered the DDRP from, I tell them that they relocated the pump to the tank and tell them that I need -
1 -- STK-1001 (Suction Tube Kit)
14' -- FL-1001 (3/8's Hose)
1 -- BF-4001 (Banjo End fitting converting to 3/8" pushlock)

 

Those parts and a little time and effort and your assistance & I should be good to go??
Thanks
Mike

 

Yes.....that should get you taken care of if you have the in-tank pump and want to still use the DDRP. If they give you any flack about the parts...have them call me.........until we come up with a "Line Kit" for the DDRP this is how we need to do it.....

 

We have an intank pump specific Draw Straw in Beta testing right now. It looks like you are sourcing a pump, feel free to PM me regarding the beta unit.

i too would like to install the ddrp pump but dont know if i have had my factory pump relocated to the tank. how would i know if it has been done, with out diging into anything too far?

 

If you have a pump on the bracket below the fuel filter, you have a factory pump. You should be able to hear it buzzing up front after you bump the key.

If the pump has been relocated, it would have been done by the dealer and there should be an extension harness plugged into the 2 wire connector near the starter running towards the tank.

i deffinately have the one on the block, i should have thought about that before. maybe i shouldn't be on here when i'm tired.

thanks
