Didn't know he sold one. Are you talking about using it on your 6.5? What are the pump specs?

 

[dirtfarmer629]

I know kennedy sells a DMAX lift pump kit for the 6.5, but also didn't know that heath was offering one. Should be a very good pump for a 6.5. The one down side is I am pretty sure they do not prime themselves.

I run the double lift pump setup from the person you mentioned. I feel it is a good setup, and the quality parts and install was a snap. I run it on my Duramax.

I run a single on mY DURAMAX from him as well. It doesn't self prime, but that is fine since I still have my stock hand primer pump.

I can't comment on how good the DMax LP is, but for what it's worth, that Walbro that Leroy sells will be the one that goes into my truck. Between reading LOT'S of good info about it and what my local fuel injection shop says about Walbro's, I'm convinced. Again, I'm not saying the DMax one is no good - I just don't know much about it to say.

I think they are like comparing apples to oranges. The one mentioned by luke in post 6 is a centrifugal/magnetic type of drive, and is very quiet running, and has a flow through design, where it flows even if the motor stops. The Walbro pump is a little different, more mechanical I think. I am sure it is still a great pump, but just mentioning the differences.

Don't know anything about the other pump mentioned. The Walbro is maintaining 10PSI at the IP and drops as low as 5psi at WOT thats still plenty on a 6.5. Cost is $138. Have not had a single problem with one yet (jinx). Pump is very quite also and self priming.
How much is the other pump?

the other one is $220 + shipping it would suck to prime litteraly because i dont have anything to prime it with i think i like the walbro already

 

[luke22494]

is the walbro a diaphram style pump or what

 

[Burning oil]

Yes, spring and diaphram.

 

[luke22494]

ok thats what i wanted to get away from it dosent matter to me how loud it is

 

[Burning oil]

I have a dumb question I looked to confirm after your last post if they are a diaprham or what. All I can find is they are a recipricating pump. Not sure if that means its a diaprham or not. I seem to remember the FRB5 pumps being a diaprham.
Here is some info http://www.walbro.com/brochurefiles/RecipFuelPump2011.pdf

$195 each. They are not hard to prime, as they are a flow through centrifugal design.
