Glacier Diesel Power Fuel Boss Mechanical Lift Pump System 98.5-07 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins

The Cummins is an amazing platform, especially when paired with the Dodge Ram truck. The personality and utility the 1998.5-2007 has provided for us over the years is as diverse as the owners. But even our beloved machine has it's weak point as they show their age. One major component that's a common point of failure is the factory electronic lift pump, particularly the early model years. It should suffice to say that having good ol' mechanical pumps running your fuel system will help keep the beast fed so it'll keep working 100% for you daily deeds and duties. Glacier Diesel Power has an awesome solution to this potentially roadside stranding issue by bringing you the FUEL BOSS Mechanical Lift Pump System. Stop carrying a spare pump in the tool box, or worrying about total electronic failure. The FB-1000 pump supplied in the FUEL BOSS kit has no bearings to wear out and is a straight cut gear pump capable of pressures well above 100 psi. That's right, straight mechanical, no school like the old school am I right? Running at a 2-1 reduction the FB-1000 turns only half of the engines RPM which is a mere 25% of its rated RPM at cruise. With proper belt tension the FB-1000 will easily last the life of your truck! FUEL BOSS drive systems are comprised of high strength polycarbonate drive pulleys and nylon covered, fiberglass reinforced, neoprene belts. Belt changes are recommended at 50k to 75k intervals saving you time and money. Tied to the engine’s RPM via the crank mounted drive pulley the FUEL BOSS will increase output and pressure any time you increase engine RPM. This is truly an engine driven high output system! Minimum fuel pressures at idle and maximum flow at engine redline, just the way it should have been from the factory. Tap the throttle and watch your fuel pressure gauge rise instead of fall!The FUEL BOSS can fuel any truck from stock to the wildest, Hot Rod VP fed power plant imaginable! For extreme trucks, Glacier Diesel Power offer a Hyper-Drive belt and pulley combo which will increase pump speed and output an additional 20% over the stock 2 to 1 drive combo provided.Retention of the factory lift pump can make priming your fuel system after a filter change easier, and the pump can be retained for temporary use at startup. After startup, the stock unit is turned off via a Hobbs pressure switch and will not run again until the next start up cycle. So, the stock lift pump is not required for proper Fuel Boss operation. Extreme pump longevity is only one of the numerous benefits provided by the FUEL BOSS system. All FUEL BOSS pumps also come equipped with a 100% Viton lip seal which makes them perfect for ULSD, Bio Diesel use and Veg Oil conversions.
