Its the same pump pretty much found on the earlier 1st gen dodge 12 valve cummins trucks. These pumps are pretty bullet proof, if you run out of fuel the engine just shuts off. They aren't nearly as finnicky as the VP44 on your truck. They do require some special maintenance not needed on the Cummins though, and thats the timing belts. If you don't know any service history or their condition is questionable replace them before you start driving it, or the engine will be a pile of scrap!

You mean what I suggested we do?? Trying to take the credit for my genius!!!
