If you are talking about a pump from a power stroke, I believe you would have to install and new wiring harness, sensors , fuel control and dictionary for all the new words you will be using.

I am not familer with the model names of the pumps....so I can only guess.
The powerstroke pump is not a high pressure pump, the fuel is pressurized in each injector useing engine oil pressure and a high power solonoid from what I understand. Thus, you would also have to fit ps injectors ($$$), remove the pre-cups get the comp raito right, get oil to and from the injectors, get electricity to and from the injectors (I think they are 120 volt) and a computer to opperate them... etc. It would be cheeper and easier to swap in a ps motor, fuel system and harnese.

The DS pump is the one in use by the later model Chevy 6.2 or 6.5. It appears to be close to the DB2 pump from what I can see and the info listed on the stanadyne website. I'm thinking you would probably have to have the specs. of the DS pump adjusted to the specs of the DB2 pump by a injection shop and some way of supplying digital imput similiar to a microtuner.

That would be a giant leap backwards as far as I can see. Those 6.5s need pumps all the time! They are a royal pain to replace as well.

oooops ... my read wrong. There is a newer style pump from ford that came on the factory turbo that I believe would work. I dont know the model numbers or any of that stuff. Malcolm, wouldnt that pump work? I really dont think you could put chebby parts on a real truck.
