So the trucks in the sop for a new radiator and I also had them look at why its hard to start. They said the lift pump is bad and they are going to put one in the tank. They want 900 bucks to do that which sounds like a lot. I know I could get a FASS or Airdog or something for around 500 bucks not installed. How much do most shops charge to install one of these pumps? Also does anyone know a good shop near the western suburbs of Minnesota that can do it? Thanks

 

I personally would not install an intank pump.

If the truck is still running, I would recommend going aftermarket.

Here is a link for a stock replacement pump...

Easy replacement that you can do yourself..

Joe...

 

How many miles does your truck have on it?

 

123000 miles with the stock lift pump

 

A Raptor pump would be fairly cheap and pretty simple install that would supply you with tons of fuel.
If you want fine filtering an AD100 would be the way to go but it's a lot more work and you may have to mod your stock canister.

 

Yeah, do not put the stock lift pump back in, go get yourself a Airdog150 and follow 53 ******* guide to installing it. You'll have ~600(with the pump system and some modifications) wrapped up in it and in the end you have a pump with a lilfetime warranty and water/air seperation plus increased filtration over stock.

Its not that hard of an install I started mine around 1pm on a Sat and finished up Sunday evening... By myself, taking my time.

 

Only problem with an AD 150 is you'll need to add 2 draw straws to the canister.
If I was to do it again I'd just go with a Raptor 100 or 150.

 

With no offense to anyone, I still don't buy into the "entrained air removal" claims by FASS or Airdog
and I don't like the fuel filters hanging under the truck.

I much prefer a small, external undertruck fuel pump and the Glacier 2 micron air horn mounted fuel filter
while still keeping the stock fuel filter cannister & heater.
I have a Walbro pump but using a Raptor pump with the Glacier filter kit would be good combo.

Just my opinion, Joe...

 

I wish I could find the link, but I read that the in-tank pump (Dodge's fix for failing cannister mounted LP) has just as much PSI and GPH rating as the Air Dog, Fass, and other aftermarket products......

 

Well it turns out that it was $350 installed not $900 so I just decided to do it. A little farther down the road when I start putting performance parts on ill throw on an air dog or FASS

 

I think you made a wise choice.

I have not had any problems or reliability issues with my truck, after the in-take unit was install.

Good Luck!

 

I have both the 06 and the 4.5 that has been updated with the mopar intank pump and I don't see much more than 5-6psi at idle and 1-2psi cruising...BUT I do believe that they MAY flow the same gpm's as the other systems when using the suction from the CP3, assuming that the intank pumps are "flowthu"....by the way has anyone figured out if these intank pump are actually "flowthu" meaning that if the lift pump looses power, the fuel can still flow through it as long as there is suction from the CP3??

 

They installed an Intank pump, including parts for $350??? I had always heard that it was about an 800-900 dollar job! I take it you were not at the dealer.

 

Just curious about your view on the entrained air issue?

 

Yep, $350 for the pump and all the plumbing for it. I don't know what the labor for installing it was cause I also had a new radiator put in a long with having the A/C worked on. The grand total was $1500. $660 was the labor. And It was at the Dodge dealer. Waconia Dodge incase anyone was wondering. It only took them a Day to do it too.
