gassernomore 14 Posted April 7, 2010 I have a friend with a 98 12 valve. His fuel pump is going out. He wants to put a stock pump back on for $500.00 (includes labor). I told him to get a lifetime pump from one of the three big guns. Are the fuel pumps on the 12 valves as bad as the 24 valves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISX 59 1 Vehicles Posted April 7, 2010 NOOO, mine is stock with 320k on it. They hardly ever go out. They are mechanical and driven off a cam so they are pretty bulletproof. I have no idea how much they cost. I do think they wear out after time and aren't able to deliver as much fuel, seeing as how I used to be able to black out anything and now I have trouble even producing any black smoke They do need some lube from fuel to make them last longer, thats where a dab of 2 stroke will help every now and then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gassernomore 14 Posted April 8, 2010 Is there any thing that you have to do special while changing the pump out? Is it as simply bolting the new one one and priming it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISX 59 1 Vehicles Posted April 8, 2010 Yep, make sure you clean all the mating surfaces real good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MnTom 406 Posted April 11, 2010 You can get a new lift pump for $146 or so at O'Riellys or you can get one at Pure Diesel Power for $89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gassernomore 14 Posted April 12, 2010 Any one try the fuel pump from Pure Diesel Power? Seems like a low ball price! All the ones that I have seen are at the $150 price range. Thanks for the info! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
