Point well taken BigPapa. In my research I did find that Carter is still making the pump for my truck and it is available. Part #M73104. I don't know if this is the same pump that is listed as a Cummins pump as I don't know if the Cummins pump is still made by Carter.

Thanks all for your comments. After considerable research I talked myself out of the Fass pump. You guys just reenforced my decesion. As far as buying original, if I could purchase a Carter, made in the USA pump, I would gladly do so. As GAmes stated above, Carter no longer makes the pumps, and...

This whole fiasco with these pumps has made me look at switching to a Fass lift pump, but they look to be pretty pricey. Thoughts. Good, bad, any comments welcome. Thanks

I cant say for sure what the psi is when driving. The guage is mounted on the injection pump. I need to get the line and fittings to move it into the cab. Free revving it and holding it at 1500/1600 rpm doesn't make much difference in the fuel pressure. Maybe a couple lbs. Hoping to get the...

I attached the guage directly to the injection pump. I bought a new bolt from Geno's that replaces the stock bolt where the fuel line attaches to the pump and allows you to install a guage. Sorry to hear the PAI isn't any better than the NAPA. LOL. I can only hope for the best. The 25psi was...

I was having an obvious fuel problem with my 1995 3500 Ram w/Cummins 5.9. I replaced the lift pump 8 months ago (10,000 miles) with a new one from NAPA. First thing I did was change the fuel filter. No help. I was finding it hard to believe the lift pump was bad already. I installed a fuel...

After completeing the reassembly we discovered we could not get any fuel to pump out of the injection pump, thus making it impossible to bleed the air out of the injector lines. The hand pump would not pump any fuel either. Installation of a new lift pump resolved the issue. Up and running well...

Engine is apart and all looks good. Did discover something interesting tho. The front locating pin (tube) is pushed pretty deep into the head. The amount protrudung that would go into the block is not enough to make it through the gasket. It looks like the pin was never in the hole in the block...

I did check all possible locations for the leak. I removed the alternator and mounting bracket to get a better look at things. It then became obvious the coolant was leaking from between the head and the block. Thanks for the input.

For no apparent reason the head gasket has developed a huge coolant leak. The leak is on the passenger side up front under the alternator braket, just above the plug in the block. To me it seems to be a pretty big leak. Coolant literally just runs out. Nobody in my crowd has ever seen this...

Dylan, Several years ago I had what sounds like the same issue you are having. My truck woud do what sounds like almost the exact same thing that your's is doing. It would do this without warning. Other than it acting up on occasion, it ran perfectly. I checked all of the items mentioned here...

I went and looked at the rims the gentleman was selling. I had been misinformed, they are 17" wheels. We were able to install one on the front of my truck with no clearance issues. I do not want to change to 17" wheels. I have found new 16" Alcoa rims for sale online, but no one is able to...

I have a 1995 Ram Dually. I have a chance to pick up a set of Alcoa 16" rims from a 2012 Ram 3500. From what I can see there is a slight difference in the hub bore. That is not a problem, I can recut the center bore to fit my truck. I was wondering if anyone knew if the rest of the rim...

They both have the Infinity radio. Just seems pretty odd they both quit working, and did the exact same thing. I'm pretty sure whatever is wrong with one, is wrong with the other. Thanks for your help.

I have 2 1995 Ram 3500 cab & chassis trucks. They are virtually identical. The radios have quit working in both trucks. No clock, no nothing. I purchased another radio at the junkyard and installed it in one of the trucks. It worked great for about a week, then same problem. No clock no nothing...
