Ease of install? Find a rotary pump motor, hot wire to the pump and she'll run.

Ease of install? Find a P-pump motor, hot wire to the pump and she'll run.

and make a crap-ton power more than a VE pump!

Welcome to Competition Diesel- Locate a 12V Cummins with a P-pump. (94-98)

HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT TO SPEND ON A 2WD 94-98 ENGINE TRANS
AND DO YOU GUYS KNOW OF ANY JUNK YARDS/ SALVAGE POOLS IN THE NOR CAL/NOR NEVADA AREA EVERY THING I FIND AROUND HERE IS EITHER WAY EXPENSIVE OR ITS 89-93 STYLE ???:bang :bang

5sp or auto? I've got a complete 97 5sp truck that's making some good power, lots of hot rod stuff on it. but the body is whooped. it'd drive to california, and you'd have everything you need

just saying
