Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Will a 160 pump work on a 94 man. trans truck?

Will a 160 pump work on a 94 man. trans truck?



I have heard I currently have a "215" pump,-



I need to replace injector pump to get this truck back on the road quickly,



What are the differences between the 160 and 215 pump?



thanks for responding.

I believe it would work and run fine, but it would be a downgrade

you would lose some power with the smaller pump. What is wrong with the 215? Wanna sell it ? :-laf

That is my line Dave :-laf

The problem with my 215 pump is that it is pumping low fuel pressure to cylinders

1 and 4.

Low pressure as in lots of air bubbles that never bleed out, the other cylnders run fine.



Any help?

I may be confused a little, would a stock 94 manual trans pump be called a 175 pump, not a 215?



Is it the horsepower rating that gives the pump it's name?

94Ram,



If it is the stock pump on 94 a manual trans then it should be a 175 pump. Best to remove the throttle linkage on the left side of the pump and check the id numbers on the pump under the #2 delivery valve holder. Then you could be sure what pump you have. The 160 pump will work fine.



Jim,



Do you realize that if you lost #1 and #4 you would still be 580 HP :-laf
