I just purchased my first diesel truck from Nampa Idaho. It is a 2001 Quad Cab Dually 5 speed with only 65K on the clock. Got it from the original owner. The only mods he did to the truck was to put a 98 gallon aux tank and some Dr. Performance injectors and a jake brake. I have been reading about lift pumps and I am a bit confused. My friend who know a little about diesels showed me the lift pump on the dirvers side of the block. But I keep reading about a pump in the gas tank. I want to protect my VP44 and make it last as long as I can by upgrading the lift pump. The Blue Chip bolt on looks like a good option, but do I have to tear into the gas tank sender and cut up a bunch of stuff also? (remember I am as green as they come regarding diesels) I thought I would never give up my 79 Chev Dually as a tow truck, but you just can't beat these things... So what is the best way to go for better protection? The only other mods I plan to do is a boost - fuel pressure - egt gauge set.... Thanks for the help in advance....

Not trying to hi-jack the thread but, this weekend I tested my block mounted lift pump, I pulled it off the truck and jumper wired it to check pressure, the pump has a red and black wire fromthe pump side connector. I thought the black was ground, black from the engine side of the connector is ground, ran the pump and no pressure, reversed the wires and BAM 26 psi. I purchased the truck used and don't know the history but the pump wiring is reversed and could never have put out any pressure/fuel. So black is positive and red is negative on this block pump.

My AD 150 is mounted to the inside of the frame rail with the supplied brackets... easiest hose runs & good access for filter changes. If you deal with Vulcan, they'll send you the right stuff.
