Lift pump moved to back of truck??

[JR2]

I am looking for anyone who had moved there lift pump to the back of the truck by the tank. I am fixxing to do this and I was hoping for some pics and hints. Brandon has made me a "kit" with all the necessary fitting and hoses, but what else do I need. I know I have to make some sort of bracket... any ideas on that??

I believe that you are refering to BigSaint's Mallory Pump. The link was something like "Malory takes a Dirt Nap. "

Here's a link to that thread, if you scroll down to one of my post, you'll see the link for a picture of my Mallory. Since I found out that sediment caused the first pumps demise, I have changed a few things. The sediment filter you see in the pic. has now been eliminated and replaced with a in Earl's screen filter. Right now, everything is plumbed with the 3/8" rubber line, but I will be replacing that in the near future with Earl's braided flex line, -8AN, from the tank to the Mallory. Whether you are planning on either A). moving the Carter pump back or B) upgrading to a different lift pump, think long and hard about putting in something to filter the fuel before it enters the pump. Mallory recommends a filter that will stop down to 40 microns, the Earl's filter stops down to 35 microns and still has the flow capacity of 4-5 gallons per minute.

until you pick a pump we're not going to be much help in the mounting dept--but there are clamps out there that will work that you can mount to the frame with some drilling---pre filter is always a good idea as is a regulator at the VP44 if the pump is rated at more than 15psi--and a separate return line---I strongly recommend a relay to power the relocated pump--use the OEM pump wire to switch on the relay-use nothing less than a #12 wire from relay to pump---hope this helps--chris

Bigsaint - thanks for the link.



Everyone - I am moving the stock pump to the rear for the time being. I am going to extend the stock wiring to the rear with 12 gauge wire as suggested. Does anyone have any idea what type of bracket I need to make for the stock pump??



I will post pictures of what ever I do once it is done.



Thanks guys

The Stock Pump?

JR2, please tell me you made a mistake and your really planning to use a real transfer pump(beg,beg).



Regarding mounting a pump near the tank, just drill the frame and use some self tappers or through bolts. My Mallory came with a bracket that surrounds the pump body. It's simple to fire some bolts through the bracket to anchor it to the frame.

Nowel - Yes I am moving my stock lift pump to the back for now. I may do something bigger later, but that is what I am going to do for now. I know the stock lift pump is weak and tends to fail but I really don't need the headache of a different pump right now. I am trying to get the fuel system done so I can do a different turbo and then bigger injectors and see what the lift pump pressures are and then upgrade accordingly.

Do you have any suggestions for a new turbo or injectors?

Relocate fuel pump

I just love it when JR2 replaces his current "go fast stuff" with newer and better. That means I have at least a 50-50 chance of scoring his old stuff for my 98. 5.

Jack in Alaska--I don't know why ya just don't go and take what ya need off of JR2's truck--we're gonna help him upgrade it sooner than he thinks and you'll only be helping him out with the removal of that old stuff ..... chris

Thanks alot, Dad is the only one who knows where the spare key is hidden on the truck. I think Dad has dreams of my 275 injectors and my EZ. Little does he know that soon after that he will need a clutch and ... ... ... ... ... ...
