On the side note is the cummins pump any better? The one I hear guys buying from cummins direct? If so what is the part number on that and relitive cost?

Well, you can put a pusher pump on. Install the PE4200 pump, a Holley Black, or go with the Cummins pump. I did the Black and I get 16.6 at idle and 13 at WOT with pump wire hoooked up. ;D You can get all of it from Rod.

Re:Fuel Pressure @ 2 PSI @ WOT FIXES?

Jaime,

if you're interested in going big then I'd suggest the PE4200 like BigBlue mentioned. Andy &amp; Doug at Advanced Diesel (www.smokindiesel.com) sell a complete kit with the lines, fittings, pump, wiring, and all necessary hardware. It's probably more expensive than most setups, but it's probably the best to date. With my setup I can't pull my westach gauge off the peg. If you're interested in staying with the stock lift pump then I'd suggest going to big banjos and a big line kit. I talked with Timinva a couple of weeks ago, and he's running a stock lift pump with the big lines and banjos along with DD3s and a PM3. He said the banjos helped only a little, but the lines made a big difference and I think they added 5 or 6 psi at WOT. The stock lines are really restrictive... especially the line from the lift pump to the filter housing. Like the others suggested, I would give Rod or Andy and Doug a call for the lines.

EDIT: here's the link to ADT's fuel web page:

Re:Fuel Pressure @ 2 PSI @ WOT FIXES?

Jaime,<br><br>The bitg thing is to get rid of your junk stock lift pump. Also stay away from carter pusher pumps, the are junk. I know people have had some good luck with them, but they just do not last. <br><br>If you plan adding more HP in the future, I would get rid of your banjo bolts, upgrade the line from the tank to -8 or bigger, and use a PE4200. You may also want to consider a 1/2&quot; stanpipe for the tank also. There are a few people out there offering kits, or you can build your own, which is very simple to do.<br><br>I currenty l have the above system and and pushing more fuel than you, and I never drag my fuel PSI below 16 psi, and that is after fuel filter. Idle is around 19-20 PSI<br><br>I am just trying to save you some money, and some time of not having to do your fuel system twice!<br><br>Good luck!

Re:Fuel Pressure @ 2 PSI @ WOT FIXES?

Where can I buy just the PE 4200? I can upgrade the lines myself when I get the pump here and figure what I need. I should be able to throw the stock pump away mount the PE and hook up the bigger lines correct?

Re:Fuel Pressure @ 2 PSI @ WOT FIXES?

You have been lucky not to have the pump go out yet with all those bombs. <br><br>The PE4200 you can get from several places, but the place I heard of selling them first is Advanced Diesel Technoligies. Their website is www.smokindiesel.com . Andy and Doug are their names, and they were the first ones to really try this pump, and talk to the maker about warrenty, and what all we needed.<br><br>Andrew

The PE stands for Product Engineering, which is who makes the pump.

Re:Fuel Pressure @ 2 PSI @ WOT FIXES?

If you order it from them, make dead sure they know that it's going on a diesel, so that way SHOULD it die, and you want some warrenty, they can handle it. That is the reason I suggested ADT.
