Cummins lift pump
From : nosey
Q: for sale one gently used factory original stock lift pump off my 99 2500 ctd ram. garage kept and only 87500 original miles. maintains a rock-solid 1 psi at idle and quickly drops to 0 psi at the slightest touch of the throttle. best offer buyer pays shipping. wanted fass fuel system for a 99 2500 ctd. dammit. -- ken .

the reverend natural light wrote the typically short-sighted environmentalist will of course agree that it is a zero pollution vehicle. most environmentalists 95% are not short-sighted. its the other 5% you see on tv making asses of themselves that make you think that. store energy. id be interested to know how the efficiency compares a batteries or how much pollution-per-mile it produces when charged off of a coal burning power grid. agreed. alternative power source != earth friendly in many cases once you factor in all of the resources it takes to produce the energy. craig c. .

lars thorwald none@thistime.com wrote hey all i just purchased a 07 dakota quad cab and im thrilled with the truck. unfortunately i had a flat tire today and while i was lowering the spare i noticed that the drive shaft was literally covered in rust not just speckled but covered in rust. i also noticed a few other components that i couldnt identify to have the same condition. this cant possibly be normal for a brand new truck can it im going to take it to the dealer tomorrow but maybe some of you dodge fans can aleviate some of my fears....am i right to be concerned or is this just a dodge thing yes it is normal for a dodge. my 95 dakota was delivered that way. rusty leaf springs and other parts. it looks better now than it did then the dirt hides the rust. -- e frank ball frankb@sonic.net .

fmb wrote big al wrote walbro vs. fass... both pumps are reportedly better than the stock lp. the fass is set up to allow extra filtration which i didnt feel i needed. i decided on the walbro back when the fass was loud. now it is reported to be about as silent as the walbro. who makes the original pump my gas powered truck has a carter pump. id almost bet carter made the complete in tank assembly. al my stock pump is mounted on the engine behind the fuel filter not inside the tank. i think its made by carter. if i let the dodge garage replace it they will mount the replacement pump inside the tank. ive heard there is a carter replacement pump available that allows the injection pump to draw fuel through it easier if that lift pump dies but i havent explored that option too far. i want to upgrade. im burning b100 biodiesel. its a bit thicker than #2 diesel fuel so i want something more capable. i filter my finished fuel before pumping it into my truck but i still like the idea of having easy to service filters on the frame rail. the fuel heater option looks good too. -- ken what a pia that was. first i spent over an hour working on getting the second fuel line off the top of the tank. it is real close to both the first fuel line and the electrical connector. i tried almost everything from fingers wire ties bread wrapper ties and what finally worked was a length of household ground wire looped and tightened. then the wire connector would not come off. at all. i ended up dropping the tank enough to slip the tank sending unit out of it and left it out of the way as i took the tank out totally and installed the new vent kit. re installation didnt go well as i couldnt get the sending unit pressed down enough for the ring to grab a good enough hold and screw down. i thought it was down enough but it wasnt ended up cutting the wires 4 and installing the sending unit on the tank as it sat besides the truck. reinstalled the tank and spliced the wires to two two-wire connectors so the next sap wont have any difficulties. the pump installation went very well. no leaks. turned it on and got zero 0 psi on the gauge. was expecting 17# or so. disconnected the fuel lead to the isolator and had my son turn the key on. it spit fuel about 10 feet or more. after the key was turned off it took close to a minute to bleed down. so pressure was good to the isolator. turns out the gauge side of the isolator wasnt nearly as full as i thought it was thanks genos for the advice. now i have 17# at key on. the isolator being low is probably what made me think my original lp was bad. oh well i was going to upgrade to a walbro and the vent kit anyway. now i have an original lp sitting on the bench probably in good condition still after almost 120k miles. fmb happy to see pressure again i started installing my fass last night. i couldnt get the suction line off of the top of the tank module. ive had my fuel tank out three times before so youd think i could disconnect that stupid fuel line in my sleep. nope. the squeeze tabs on the clip are oriented up and down. i can get the top half of the clip pushed in easily but there isnt enough space under the fuel line connector to push the bottom half of the retainer clip in. i tried various tools but i couldnt get that clip released. i have a roll of .032 safety-wire but i didnt think to try it. i ended up spinning the lock ring off the module and dropping the tank down out of the way with the module still hanging from the fuel lines. after the tank is out of the way the fuel line connectors are very easy to disconnect. the first time i pulled my tank i had problems with the electrical connector. i slid the red lock-tab out but no matter what i did the connector wouldnt release. i screwed around with it for over an hour that time. i ended up prying up on the locking mechanism with a screwdriver until it broke off. the connector comes off now with a gentle tug. i havent had any trouble with it falling off yet but if my fuel gauge stops working i know what to check first. -- ken .

on thu 31 may 2007 114823 gmt lars thorwald none@thistime.com wrote so will this rust contribute to component failure sooner than normal im assuming its a coating or something on the driveshaft thats rusting and not the actual driveshaft as the rust layer becomes more established the formation of new rust slows down. i have only seen a few drive shafts actually fail from rust but this was on some very old dump trucks that had very high drive shaft loading and that could twist off a new drive shaft too sometimes. in you application the rest of vehicle will rust away long before the driveshaft rust becomes a issue that weakens it to point of failure. it kinda looks worse than it is. you could spray some rust converter on it if it really bothers you as it will stop it and from a black coating from it that resists further rust. ----------------- thesnoman.com i wonder if spraying something on the driveshaft may cause a balance problem. i dont think i would do that if it were mine. denny .
