Detailed Description

Sparta PN5006 is a silver mechanical fuel lift pump engineered for diesel applications that require an external pump layout. It features two ports, a threaded inlet, a threaded outlet, and a single outlet configuration, making it a straightforward replacement for service on 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 3500 trucks.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak diesel fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation from a worn mechanical lift pump
• Low fuel pressure at the injection system
• Intermittent drivability issues related to inconsistent fuel supply
• Leaks at the pump mounting surface when the seal is worn

Confirm diesel fuel system routing and compare the original pump configuration to the PN5006 specifications. The package includes a gasket and instruction sheet; no strainer is included.
