One more thing about transfer pumps

[DBlaze]

I just changed out my lift pump last night. For anyone who is going to do this, be sure to remove the fuel filter, it makes the job MUCH easier. The pump I put in came from Cummins for ~$135. 00. My old pump read about 5 psi at idle, I did not do any checking on the road. The real problem was that the pump took for ever to refill the filter housing after a filter change and the pump sounded like a box of rocks. After I changed out the pump I took the old one apart. Clean as a whistle! no wear no nothing. The motor turns very stiff and with a ratchet action which could be from being a PM motor. Anyone out there have a dead pump that they took apart and found the actual pump to be bad?

PS This is my first post!!

Hi David. I replaced mine but didn't take it apart. I still have it so I may take it apart and look at it. I didn't even check the pressure on mine. It started cutting out so I replaced it.

Evan Beck has torn apart several of these. He showed me the parts sitting on his bench at work.
Chime in, Evan!

Ramhead,

I wonder if you're getting restriction on the banjo bolts with the VA box? Are the fuel lines stock?
