The install would’ve been a lot easier if you’re using the stock fuel filter I actually deleted the stock one awhile back and relocated mine on the front of the truck. The dampener and fan has to come off. It’s not too bad to install though. The pump is pretty heavy duty for sure weighs a couple pounds. And the brackets are sturdy. The belt I’m not sure about it says it should last as long as a serpentine belt. But fuel pressure at a rev to 2 grand in neutral goes to almost 60psi. The one thing I can say idk if it was my truck or what but the acorn but on the bottom of the pump is about a millimeter from the sway bar. I just removed the sway bar but probably will end up putting spacers on the sway bar where the bushings bolt.
I definitely notice smoother running. Had a hell of a time getting this truck to idle. This fixed that problem and also the truck runs like a raped ape when I gas it and that 66 spools up very satisfied with it.
I've been running the dtt assassin for a few years now. Very similar to your pump. No trouble with the belt so far. Keep a spare in the truck, just in case. I set a regulator to max the pressure at 45. No interference with the swaybar with or without the steering box brace. I did have a seal go out on the pump. About 2 bucks at grainger. That's why I regulated it down to 45 psi. I was glad to get rid of the electric lift pumps. Went through a few air dogs. The fass on my other truck is holding up. When I ppump that one, an other assassin is going in.
I have not had the best experience ordering from PDD.
Got a set of injectors that were totally effed up on the machine work. Ended up getting Industrial instead. And PDD still charged me $50 for shipping. I have pics of the injectors if anyone is interested.
Did you have a long shipping time for this product? I know they delayed sending it out for almost a year.
would like to hear the update on the predator pump from PDD.
and it looks like there are no GD fuel boss pumps right now for the 2nd gen. it said "out of stock".
several problems i have outlined with external lift pumps in my in-tank conversion writeup (though the mechanical pump does alleviate the motor cooling issue with external electric pumps).
Any updates on this pump? I was told by PDD that you didn't have to remove the sway bar or the dampener. I was told it only required the fan, two bolts from dampener, and 4 bolt from oil pan. Wanting to put this on my twin turbo 12v but concern about belt life and be stranded somewhere.
