Glacier Diesel Power Fuel Boss Base Kit | 1994–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins Pump, Mount & Drive Kit (FB-98502-PMD)
Description
Build your own mechanical fuel system with the Glacier Diesel Power Fuel Boss Base Kit.
Designed for custom fuel system projects, this kit includes the core mechanical drive components used in the Glacier Fuel Boss system, allowing builders to create a custom plumbing solution while utilizing Glacier's proven crankshaft-driven mechanical lift pump design.
Whether you're building a P7100 (P-Pump) conversion, a custom competition truck, an engine swap, or simply want complete control over your plumbing layout, the Fuel Boss Base Kit provides the pump, mounting bracket, and crank-driven belt system while allowing you to select your own filters, regulators, hoses, and fittings.
At the heart of the system is Glacier's proven FB-1000 mechanical gear pump, driven directly from the crankshaft through a high-strength belt drive. As engine RPM increases, pump speed and fuel output increase proportionally, delivering fuel exactly when the engine demands it.
Unlike traditional electric lift pumps, the Fuel Boss Base Kit eliminates continuous electric pump operation while providing a rugged mechanical foundation for virtually any custom diesel fuel system.
Features
- Complete Fuel Boss pump, mount, and drive assembly
- Designed for custom fuel system fabrication
- Compatible with VP44 and P-Pump applications
- Proven FB-1000 mechanical gear pump
- Precision-machined mounting bracket
- High-strength polycarbonate pulleys
- Nylon-covered, fiberglass-reinforced neoprene drive belt
- 2:1 crankshaft drive ratio
- Fuel output increases with engine RPM
- Compatible with ULSD and biodiesel fuels
- Hyper Drive upgrade available
- Installation manuals and plumbing schematics available from Glacier Diesel Power
Why Choose the Base Kit?
Not every truck requires a complete bolt-on Fuel Boss system.
Many builders already have:
- Custom fuel filters
- Fuel pressure regulators
- Billet filter bases
- AN plumbing
- Fuel cells
- Aftermarket fuel tanks
- Competition fuel systems
The Fuel Boss Base Kit gives you the proven mechanical drive system while allowing complete freedom to design the remainder of the fuel system exactly the way your application requires.
This makes it an excellent solution for:
- P7100 conversions
- Engine swaps
- Competition trucks
- Drag racing builds
- Sled pull trucks
- Custom fabrication projects
- High-horsepower street trucks
Why Mechanical Instead of Electric?
Most aftermarket lift pumps operate using an electric motor that spins at a fixed speed regardless of engine load.
The Fuel Boss works differently.
Because the pump is driven directly from the engine's crankshaft, fuel delivery naturally follows engine demand.
As engine RPM increases:
- Pump speed increases.
- Fuel volume increases.
- Fuel pressure remains consistent under load.
Instead of relying on electronic speed controllers, brushes, armatures, or electric motors, the Fuel Boss uses a simple mechanical gear pump that has earned a reputation for exceptional reliability.
Glacier Tech Tip
One of the biggest advantages of purchasing the Base Kit is flexibility.
Rather than paying for filters, regulators, plumbing, and fittings you may never use, the Base Kit lets you build a fuel system around your specific horsepower goals and chassis layout.
Whether you're plumbing a single fuel filter or a complete dual-filter setup with large AN lines, the Fuel Boss mechanical drive system provides a dependable foundation capable of supporting everything from stock daily drivers to serious competition trucks.
For customers requiring additional fuel volume, Glacier also offers a Hyper Drive pulley and belt upgrade, increasing pump speed and fuel output by approximately 20% over the standard 2:1 drive ratio.
Why Choose Glacier Diesel Power?
Every Fuel Boss Base Kit uses the same core components found in Glacier's complete Fuel Boss systems.
That includes:
- FB-1000 mechanical gear pump
- Straight-cut steel gears
- Viton® shaft seal
- Precision mounting bracket
- High-strength drive pulleys
- Heavy-duty drive belt
Rather than piecing together mismatched components, you're starting with a proven mechanical drive system engineered specifically for Cummins-powered trucks.
Applications
Designed for custom fuel system builds on:
- 1994–1998 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins
- 1998.5–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins VP44
- P7100 conversion projects
- Custom engine swaps
- Competition diesel applications
Compatible with both VP44 and P-Pump fuel systems when properly plumbed.
Important Notes
- Includes pump, mounting bracket, and drive system only.
- Fuel filters, regulators, hoses, fittings, and plumbing components are not included.
- Intended for experienced installers and custom fabrication projects.
- Installation manuals and plumbing schematics should be reviewed before beginning installation.
- Designed for trucks equipped with a stock harmonic balancer.
- Hyper Drive upgrade sold separately.
- Not legal for sale or use in California.
Common Installation Considerations
Because the Base Kit is intended for custom applications, careful planning is essential.
Before installation, verify:
- Fuel filter placement
- Hose routing
- Fuel regulator location (if used)
- Belt alignment
- Pulley clearance
- Fuel tank pickup configuration
- Return fuel routing
Proper plumbing and mounting are just as important as the pump itself when building a dependable mechanical fuel system.
Complete Your Custom Fuel System
Pair the Fuel Boss Base Kit with genuine Glacier Diesel Power components:
- FB-1000 Replacement Mechanical Pump
- Fuel Boss Hyper Drive Upgrade
- Replacement Drive Belts
- Fuel Boss Check Valve
- Fuel Pressure Gauge
- Fuel Pressure Test Kit
