Carter replacement lift pump

[RANDUCCI]

I was told (by a diesel performance shop, but they wouldn't give me the Carter part number) that Carter makes a diesel fuel pump that will maintain 7psi under full load that will directly replace the stock Carter fuel pump that came on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD. Does anyone the part number of this pump? Thanks.

i talked to carter tech line and they never told me that .

but the P4601HP is identical to the stock pump on the outside , only problem is it will not accept the factory wiring or the factory banjos . i'm installing this pump in my truck this afternoon .

but i get a sustained 6 psi with the present factory pump at WOT with DD3's and a VA . 11psi at idle , directly at input to the injection pump.

Mopar-muscle, I went back and asked the shop if it was the P4601HP and they said "yes it was the same". They said that it maintained 5. 5psi on their modified trucks under WOT. Does this pump mount in the same location and the way as the stock pump? Also, are you going to use a regulator? Thanks.

it looks identical to the stock pump , the only differences are it will not accept the factory electric plug , nor will it accept the banjo bolts which is fine .

its 3/8 npt , get a -6 male to 3/8 npt male straight fitting and a 90* that is 3/8 npt both ends , and a 3/8 compression to a 3/8 npt to screw onto that 90 . cut the banjo fitting off the end of the line that connects to the stock fuel line back to the tank and put the 3/8 compression on it so you can connect back to that line . take the line that goes between the lift pump and the fuel filter and deposit it in the circular hopper , get a weber 12mm to -6 male and 2 aeroquip -6 socketless straight hose ends , about 12 inch of aeroquip socketless fuel line to go between the pump and the filter , cut off the factory connector to the stock lift pump , and connect the wires to the new pump . no regulator is needed , summit sells all the parts you will need for a decent price.

you really should mount that pump back at the front of the fuel tank though . i will be putting it on my truck tonite in the stock location as a test , but it will ultimately be back at the tank with the stock line and lift pump left in for a backup incase this one dies , i hate being at the mercy of someone else .
