Hello, I am in the market for an injection pump and have tried calling DAP, and tried texting also with no response. Does anybody know if the below pump is an Industrial Injection pump by chance? Thanks. 

I think this module should work good for you, 3/8 is plenty big for every day use.

The one I linked to doesn’t have a pump. It’s the version that doesn’t come with the in tank pump. Which is what I have now, my pump is still mounted on the block. Are you saying you have the in tank lift pump? 

I had the intank pump up until 9 years ago. Thats when I replaced it with an AD. I removed the pump and made a couple minor modifications to use it with the AD. It came with a kit for the mods. It is the same basket though.

Thanks @dripley @Dieselfuture gonna get it ordered tonight. Did you guys drop the tank or lift the bed? 

I dropped the tank. 

I get to do one of these too. The last 2002 I just got done installing a VP44 back into has the fuel gauge stuck at 5/8 of a tank but the tank was EMPTY. The owner ran it out of fuel and burned up the VP44.

Dang!! Burned up the new VP by running it out of fuel, just once, or multiple times?? I ordered the one from Vulcan performance today. Do you know if yours came with the new float and the electronics for the float? 

 

Edit, called Vulcan, mine does come with new float/electronics, and a new tank seal as well. Had a quick moment of oh crap..I ordered the sending unit for the very reason of fixing my fuel gauge...I didnt see the float in the pictures, but maybe I just cant see it so well.

Here is a better view.

I lifted the bed with few straps and engine hoist, but I have a short box.

I think I’m gonna go this route as well, versus having to be up/down off the ground. I got an engine hoist that should work out pretty good.

Just remember to pull all the taillight wiring. The ground strap on the front passenger side of the bed. Again thing bolted or screwed to the bed. 

 

Drain the fuel tank and dropping is faster. I can pull a fuel tank in under one hour and change the sender and install again. Just all I do is drain the tank. Now screwdriver and a hammer punch the collar loose. Then on screw the collar. Now the filler neck just remove the hose clamp and pull it loose. 2 nuts on the bands and boom she is down. Carefully remove the sender (unhook the lines and wiring). Just reverse this process and it done. Matter of fact I'll most likely be doing one later this spring.

Thanks sir, that's good insight. Few things to ponder for sure. My sending unit will be here Monday, so I got a few days to get the tank dropped or bed lifted. Gonna take my time regardless.

I you have the time take it, especially if its something you have never done before. This has served me well over the years when jumping into something new. Plus someone has to keep the cooler full beer too.

correct, never replaced the sender on this truck before, not my first, but first on the Cummins. lol on the beer cooler, its been cold enough no cooler needed outside lately..just let them stay cold right where the case sits.

Not a prob. The collar has to be loose n and removed before the tank comes down. The secret is if you do that the the sender stands up out of the tank as you lower the tank now you have good access to the fuel lines. The little squeeze tabs are usually in bad positions. This way the sender stands up and you have good access to remove the two fuel line. The sender had a plug in the top (inside). This is a bit tough to get out but not impossible. Then you disassemble the plug pull the pins out and replace the sender and reverse this.

I'm still going on my DAP pump yet no issues...

Same here. It's been wire tapped since the day I installed it nearly 8 years ago and fed with a fass150 (that's about to go out). Can't say enough good things about my VP44 from @dieselautopower.

Are you going mechanical or going to try and warranty fass?

Good news. Truck has a full tank of fuel and drove 60ish miles and didn’t miss a lick. Gonna set my trip odometer and put a few more miles on it before saying it’s fixed, but I’m pretty certain. Still need to change out my fuel sender as well, but will burn some diesel first. Also need to pick up some 2 stroke oil as I didn’t realize I was completely out.

Oh jeez, I'm just going to replace it. Heck, it's nearly 8 years old and served me well. Besides I'm installing a new one (Fass 165) right before I install a ton of supporting mods for my compounds build. New DFI 7x.010 injectors. I will be sending my one back to be rebuilt so I can wrap it up in a bag and stick it under my back seat as a spare.
