Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Average lifespan stock LP?

[Jdonoghue]

(Is there an average?)

What's the average lifespan of these things? (Or, when can I expect mine to die?) Do the replacement ones last as long as the original ones?

 

[BDMiller]

I don't think there is an average. I bought my rig when it had 70K miles on it & now 40K miles later I'm still on the lift pump it came with.

 

[BPellman]

First one died @ 98000 + miles, replacement lasted ten (10) days. I would have NEVER know the second one died w/o the FP guage. Did the high $$$ (FASS) fix. Hopefully the end of the problem. If you do not have the FP guage, at least get into the habit of listening when you turn the key. Not a 100% indication the FP is at full potential but... better than nothing.

98,000 on my first one and 2,000 on the second i'll let you know

 

[Casey Ray]

At 8,000 miles original died, 2,000 mile later second one died, currently 3rd has 14,000 with no signs of a problem, but if I do, I'll be getting RASP'd.



cul,

57000 miles 4 lift pumps, last one 7000 miles, thank goodness tdr was there to make me get a FP gauge, I can change them out in 20 mins flat now I am looking at being rasped

 

[CORed]

Original pump lasted around 40,000 miles. New one is still looking good at 6000 miles later.



I'll have to do a RASP search. All I knew about was the FASS.

 

[Holzarbeiter]

96000 when I found out that the LP was shoot, 31000+ on second and still going. Now that I said that, I will buy a pump and keep it on the shelf.

 

[d.miner]

43K on the original, have a FP gauge and no problems.

Who cares... get RASPed and don't worry about it.

Lp ?

The 01's had a problem with the LP mine went TU @ 36. 6K. Since then I've gone to FASS

 

[Double J]

Frank, you can read about it here and buy it here with a complete plumbing kit specifically for your truck (LB,SB. etc)



... or you can do a search for some more reading.

 

[Double J]

Stop on by and we can talk mechanical LP's

At 89K I discovered that the LP was bad. Up till that point, I had no FP guage (that has now been changed and I agree that this is a MUST have for any CTD owner). I can only wonder how long the LP was dead as I had just returned from a 4500 mile trip while towing 9000 lb 5th wheel and had experienced some performance problems. I currently have approx 2000 on the new LP but will be ordering a RASP within the next month. Not going to wait until it fails as we all know that is not a matter of if it will fail, but rather when

 

[Heetseeker_1]

40k, 55k, 65k... then put on the Air Dog fuel preparator system. 20 psi and I don't worry about it any more. It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN the lift pump will go. JUNK! I purchased the DC combo for reliability and the new fuel delivery system (Air Dog) took away all unnecessary doubt.
