Is there a post on here that will give info on relocating pump to the frame ??
And could the pump be replaced with a say carter 100gph 16psi pump it looks the same maybe with fitting adapters.

Some people have had good luck repositioning them to the frame and making them a pusher pump. I personally feel it is heat. But that is JMO.

Original VP-144,000+ uncorrected do to large tire whole life of truck.
1-LP at 100,000
1-CPS changed today only for piece if mind
1-AIT changed today only for piece of mind
Currently using 10liters to 100 kilometers. I think that is aroung 23mpg. Yes I get that minf of fuel mileage. I even haul on the autobahn and still get 18mpg at 90mph.

01 2500 Quad

1st LP replaced with 2nd LP around 42,000 miles
After 2nd LP started acting funny, I replaced with Carter P4601 on the frame (fine so far after 3000 miles) and 6AN lines from tank to filter inlet
Fuel pressure gauge since 27,000 miles
Original VP$$
Currently at 53,000 miles

thought:
with the gauge i can monitor the LP to prevent it from keeping hte vp-44 pump cool........can i monitor the vp-44? the LP could be good and the vp-44 pump could be go'n out right?
the LP from the "store" is $200ish...........is it better to buy an aftermarket? if so which and whats it cost?

02 with 5 speed
The VP shelled out at 83,000 but gave quite a bit of intermittant warning and was running fine the morning I took it in to the shop. Martin Swanty Dodge in Kingman, AZ replaced both the LP and the VP. I've had excellent service from them, it's a work truck and they had it back to me in 1 1/2 days.
My fuel (and other) filters are replaced regularly.
Happened in May, not particularly hot weather.
