I started with a set of TTS lift pumps when the truck was new in 2007, and they lasted 2 years before getting corroded and dying. Replaced with a set of Kennedy pumps in 2009 and they have been going strong ever since. I do have an after market 2 micron fuel filter in line after the lift pumps and I also run a pressure gauge so I can tell if they are working. You can't hear them or at least I can't, but I can't hear much anyway most of all women.:roflmao:

Figured I'd follow up on this,

Replaced the first pump with the new motor/ impeller set, was easy like expected. I was surprised to see the old impeller in almost new condition after 8yrs and 70k+ miles, considering what a couple of you were saying previously.

I've always used Donaldson filters. All Cat filters are made by AFSI filters which is owned by Cat/Donaldson. I can always get Donaldson filters cheaper so I run them. Most of them are 2 micron absolute

Which filters? I got b*tched out yesterday on FB when I tried to claim the CAT filters were 2um absolute. Did a little checking, and the 1R-0751 that I have used in the past is 4um absolute. Our CAT rep at work told me it was 2um so I didn't question it (they are a big engine supplier for us).

first off, that link is from 2007. not really relevant. CAT changed filter ratings a while back on the 1r-0751 to the 4 micron absolute rating from the 2 micron. they introduced the 364-5287 which is a 2 micron absolute. thats what im running now.

Honestly, its a mute point as an absolute filter will out filter a nominal filter of the same rating any day of the week. air dog filters were changed to 4 micron (even though everyone says they are still 2 micron) but they are nominal. even at 2 micron nominal vs the cat 4 micron, the cat filter is doing a way better job.

and f**k facebook. those morons will argue over a f**king spoon and say its a fork. You argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level then beat your ass with experience.

That’s how I feel about the Cat filter also.

Lots of dummies on DF that love to argue about how they’re shit and Napa gold is better. Idiots.

Why do you guys do that to yourselves? Do you like to bang your head against a wall?
