I've been told by my local dealer that the lift pump for a 2001 CTD is no longer available and has been replaced with an in tank kit that runs about $350. What is everyone doing? There is plenty of reading on here for the 24V lift pump issues that I've followed for years but I'm more up to speed on the P7100 and CP3 engines. Any help would be appreciated.

 

The lift pump is available at the local auto stores in Texas. The dealership fix is to go to an intank pump. Not a bad change if your staying stock.

 

Dodges answer is the intank set up. Don't do it if you don't have too (for warranty work). If you want to stay with the stock type of lift pump get it from Cummins or Napa or AutoZone or EBay. I would recommend a Big Line kit from Vulcan, tho.

 

Check out the B&G web sight, www.dieselperformnce.com, they have a kit that mounts on the drivers side frame that will bypass the engine mounted unit.

 

i got mine from a cummins dealer

I have replaced 5 "Stock" lift pumps on my truck @ around $140 a pop.
The last two only made it ~5,000 miles before idle pressures dropped below 10 psi.
No More.

I just ordered (and am anxiously awaiting the delivery of) a Glacier Diesel Power walbro pump setup.

 

I found (and bought) a brand new Cummins OEM lift pump on eBay for $91. I've currently got 12 pound at idle. Murphy's law tells me that if I get it here, my current lift pump will continue to work fine.

Having a stocker truck (except guages of course) and wanting to keep it that way, I think I'll just put the lift pump in my tool box and forget about it until I need it.

 

That's what I did last time.
I bought two @ $140 bucks each so I could have a spare.

I never thought I go through BOTH of them in under 10,000 miles.

I vowed I'd never buy another stock Carter style lift pump.

 

i would suggest you have a problem, all i have ever used is carter stock type mounted on the frame, i went thru 2 under warranty before moving it to the frame....
i currently have 2 campaign pumps in line, one is a spare . if one fails, i unplug the wiring harness and plug the other one in..... i have almost 200,000 miles and no pump problems

You're probably right.....
I do have a problem......Dodge's lift pumps that don't last.
My truck has been "down " for over a week due to some bean-counter in DC corporate's idea that Cheaper Supplier = Best Cost.

That's why Dodge went to the In-Tank pump to replace the (too often failing) engine mounted one.

That's also why I went with a walbro pump.

 

My lift pump has also died. Dealer wants $1100 to put in the in tank pump. I said no thanks (long story). I have ordered a BD bypass pump. https://www.shopatron.com/product/pa...20150.2114.0.0

Is it OK to leave the bad pump in place and run the BD as the sole lift pump?

 

I'd be afraid that the old non-working pump could be a restriction in the fuel supply to the Injection Pump.

 

Have an 01 2500 4x4 auto. You can still buy the pump even from O'Reiley Advance etc. You cannot buy the tank screen. If your screen is tore up you have to either go the in tank route or after market. Definitely take the old pump out of line. You will have to draw through the pump fins which will restrict your flow and work any new pump harder. I went in tank this time but any future problems will go aftermarket. Now I am trying to learn more about my tranny issue which seems to be common ( which is how I found this site).
