'98.5-'02 Dodge Ram 5.9L GDP Fuel Boss Mechanical Lift Pump System
Description
'98.5-'02 Dodge Ram 5.9L GDP Fuel Boss Mechanical Lift Pump System
The top offering in the GDP pump line is the FUEL BOSS mechanical lift pump system. The FUEL BOSS is a belt driven mechanical lift pump that increase output and pressure to match engine RPM.
Common electronic failures of the factory lift pump are eliminated. No more worries of carrying a spare pump in the tool box. The stock lift pump will now only run for a few seconds at each start. After startup the stock unit is turned off via a Hobbs pressure switch and will not run again until the next start up cycle. The stock lift pump is not required for proper Fuel Boss operation and is used only for priming the fuel canister after a filter change!
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. 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!
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.
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.
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 we 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.
**Note** Only for trucks with stock harmonic balancers. Due to dimensional differences this system will not work with aftermarket harmonic balancers such as the Fluidampr® brand balancers.
**Note** Not for use on trucks with an in-tank conversion. If your truck has been converted to an in-tank pump please contact us and we will build a system for your application.

Been running this lift pump on my 2001 Ram 2500 for 4-5 years now...awesome! No issues, no maintenance, constant fuel pressure keeping my VP44 happy! Happy I went mechanical and not electrical.

First off - Richard is the boss. Will never hesitate to order from him again. Second - This lift pump PUMPS! Don't mess around with others. I've had 3 DDRPs and 1 FASS and will never look back. The only time my gauge needle sits below 15psi is when the truck is off!

I've been running this for a year now.
Couldn't be happier. Please don't waste your money on another electrical pump that will predictably fail. This mechanical unit is the real deal. The kit is completely complete, excellent customer service, very clear installation instructions.
Thank you Glacier Diesel for this great solution!

4 stock Carter pumps later I finally decided to fix this nagging and costly problem. It's so nice to see fuel pressure that I know is doing the VP44 pump good instead of damaging it. Richard...you can't ask for anyone better to deal with, keep up your excellent customer service and you'll sell alot of these units. Good luck and i'll send as many people your way as I can!

I never should have waited to try one of these. I don't think twice about taking my RV cross country anymore. Goodbye lift pump worries! Thanx Richard!

What an awesome system! 15 psi at idle and 19 psi at WOT! Even the big sticks and Hot Rod VP can't pull it down. I'm just sorry I wasted so much money on stock lift pumps before I found the Boss!
