1994-1998 CUMMINS PRESET@25-30PSICALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS 919-665-1600
Arguably the most widely known name in the diesel industry is Cummins. With their pick-up truck engine debut dating back to 1989, they have come quite a long way in perfecting one of the longest lasting engines on the market. Unfortunately, they are also known for having some of the industry’s worst lift pumps.
Starting back in 1989 through 1998, Cummins used a block mounted, cam driven lift pump. These were quite reliable; however, they were just the opposite when it came to priming the system. These pumps were designed to put out 25-30 psi of fuel pressure as well.
From 1998.5-2002, the lift pumps were still on the side of the engine, unfortunately they went away from the cam driven design and decided to go with an electric Carter pump. These pumps primed the system very easily; however they proved to not hold up to the violent vibrations and tortures that the engine put out, thus causing the temperamental VP44 injection pump that it fed to fail prematurely. These pumps were set to put out 12-14 psi to the VP44 injection pump to keep it cool.
From 2003-2004.5 Dodge decided to get away from the engine mounted pump and relocate it to the inlet side of the fuel filter housing. This small black cylindrical pump proved to be a little better than the block mounted version of previous years however they too had their problems. These pumps were set to put out 14-17 psi.
Starting mid-year of 2004, Dodge had a revelation and decided that it would be best to mount...
