GMScott,

Seems to me the $80 instant savings from WTTD (above) is a better deal than the $70. Plus, I like to help site members as much as possible, especially when they are less expensive!

Re:Lift Pump replacement . . . debate??

Thank You. I started this business because there were so many Dodge Cummins owners around here that did not know what they had, and thought that the dealer knew more about thier trucks than anyone. I do this because I enjoy it, there is nothing better than saving someone some money, and making their ride better. Except maybe the smile on someones face the first time they hit 5x5 on the comp box ;D.

Re:Lift Pump replacement . . . debate??

Jerry,

Sorry to get into this thread a little late, but it looks like you've gotten some pretty good advice. Up to the 375/400 range, we've simply been using the stocker lifts (go ahead and grab one from Chace. Good guy.) and had great luck.

Past the 400 pony mark, we really don't have a adequate solution yet. We've been working with PE, and still feel that they will have the winner, but we are looking into other pumps. Scottys Blue has been serving him well, but we did notice an increase in power with PE series, as long as wide open throttle pressures stayed above 13 PSI. We want a system that will maintain a constant pressure whether we're at idle or WOT.

Rod I saw in Summit Racing's newest catalog they carry "Belt-Driven" fuel pumps.

Anyone experimented with one?
The Aeromotive on page 45 shows an advertised 2,700 gallons per hour and up to 200 psi.

Might be a hair too much. Don, could you build some Mach 9930432s to handle that flow?

Hey Rod, I wuz thinkin' (I know, that's a new one for me), that properly regulated, it would be almost impossible to pull the pressures down at WOT.

Re:Lift Pump replacement . . . debate??

I would say so Wonder how much HP that critter robs to pump 2700 GPH?

In all seriousness though, I've been considering something like a belt drive pump as well as some other electrics. Look at how reliable the 12 valve fuel transfer pumps were. We can get the same reliability from a belt drive pump.
