It looks very similar to the kit from Diesel Dynamics (same Carter pump). The BD kit goes in-line, and retains the factory pump. DD's kit replaces the factory pump altogether. There's pros and cons to both... some will say that two is better than one, because either could fail, and still get you home. Others will say that it's easier to diagnose problems when you have a single pump, and that eliminating the factory pump improves servicability.

Either approach will cure any low fuel pressure problems, and should function just fine.

Hmm, I did forget... whoops

I will change my sig... I could see where 437hp is not as cool with an HO... But my sickly little SO can straight lay it down !!! (well to me at least)

So does anyone have this BD-power LIFT PUMP KIT yet?

Good pump for a stock truck. I would go with the air dog, fass, preporator somewhere along those lines though. I had two Carter's on my truck in less than 14 months.

the stock pump will not let any flow if it quits so 2 of them inline sounds good but if the infamous transfer pump fails again {im on number 2 with 10k} your still dead in the water.
