The 2002 Ram 2500 I'm looking at the dealership has had the lift pump system replaced with the in-tank setup. This weekend (Sunday, dealer closed) I spent some time crawling around underneath to check as much as possible. When examining the lift pump change over... I noticed a few things. The original lift pump has been replaced with a junction block for the fuel lines to hook to. Thats understood. But I can not see any new power leads going back to the fuel module. I see the OEM lift pump power plug is now connected to some leads going somewhere up into the engine bay. (remember... I can't open the hood... its Sunday and nobodys there. )



But I figured I'd see some new power harness going to the tank. More... I figured the fuel module sticking up out of the tank would look fairly new since it was done less than a year ago and the truck sat alot during that time. But the fuel module looks like the ones I'm used to seeing back there. No additional plug-ins, no additional power inputs for the pump motor. Etc.



Am I missing something. The only power I see is the one thats always there for the float level electronics. What gives.



I'm positive the Carter is gone... but the tank module looks original. Am I crazy?
 
The in-tank module looks exactly the same, the origional wiring harness goes back to a relay mounted in the engine compartment, from the relay there is a wire that runs down behind the drivers front wheel well into a factor plug, there is already a wire running back to the fuel pump (im assuming that wire is used in the gas applications so thats why its already ran back there).

The new pump is inside the tank module pretty much just like you would see on a gasser.
 
Sounds good, thanks!! So basically... the replacement pump module was actually a very simple fix for Dodge. No wiring or real plumbing to mess with.
