The IP only needs 5psi constant to be happy. I would run the Racor filtration and keep the OEM Lift pump. If at a later time you wanted to upgrade the lift pump I would recommend a Kennedy Single lift pump.

As said. Filtration is good. But pump is not needed for a stock or mildly modded truck.
If you want a little more pressure. Replace the stock LP with one for a 93 6.5. They put out more pressure than later models. Instead of an expensive pump you might want to consider a better exhaust system. Stock system is pretty restrictive.

Yea I’ve been wanting to put an exhaust for a while. I’m pretty sure my cross over pipe is crunched inside. They don’t make a kit for a c3500hd. I’need to find someone that can modify the down pipe of a diamond eye system.

A 93 lift pump and some spin on filters are all you need. I use a 2 micron filter and a 12 micron fuel water separator.

Unless your 2002 is really special custom made truck, I think the DE system will fit.
Now, the application guide may not go up to 2002 since there are very limited production of 6.5L diesel. IIRC, the 1st gen D-max came out at that same time frame. So, all the application guide knows only of the D-max and forget to include a 2002 6.5L.

The c3500hd is a cab and chassis only model. It’s got a massive frame , The down pipe needs to be lengthened I believe about 4”
I’ve got a pic of it in my profile. You can notice the difference in the front grill area.

That is one expensive filter kit. I paid about 20 to 25 for each of the filter heads I used. I made my own lines with brass barbs and 30R9 fuel hose. With the 93 lift pump, I never see below 5 psi at WOT under load.

Would a leak in the ffm or line to the ip cause a loss in prime and make the truck hard to start after sitting over night? Also seems to stop leaking after a while of running. Do these symptoms help narrow the culprit?
