Product Overview
Fleece Performance PowerFlo Lift Pump Kit for 1998 Dodge/Ram 5.9L 12-Valve Cummins
The Fleece Performance PowerFlo Lift Pump Kit is a complete in-tank fuel-supply upgrade designed specifically for 1998 Dodge/Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins.
This kit includes a replacement sending unit and float to help restore proper fuel-gauge operation. It also includes the PowerFlo in-tank lift pump, fuel hose, fittings, wiring components, tank seal, and a mechanical fuel-pump block-off plate.
The dual-gerotor pump design provides increased fuel-flow capacity for stock and modified applications. Fleece Performance rates the system to support applications producing up to 800 horsepower when properly installed and matched to the truck’s fuel requirements.
Key Benefits
- 1998-Specific Fitment: Designed for 1998 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins and the late-style dash configuration.
- Complete Fuel-Supply Upgrade: Includes the pump, sending unit, float, plumbing, fittings, wiring, tank seal, and mechanical-pump block-off plate.
- Direct In-Tank Fitment: Installs without cutting the tank for a sump or adding a separate draw straw.
- Fuel-Gauge Support: Includes an integral fuel-level sender and replacement float.
- Dual Gerotor Pumps: Provides increased fuel-flow capacity for stock and modified Cummins applications.

Direct In-Tank Fitment
The PowerFlo Lift Pump installs through the compatible factory sending-unit opening without requiring a tank sump, draw straw, or additional opening in the fuel tank.
This kit is designed around the original 1998 12-valve sending-unit configuration and should be matched to the correct sender resistance and Mopar part number before ordering.
Dual Gerotor Pump Design
The PowerFlo uses two gerotor-style pumps to increase fuel-flow capacity and provide additional pumping capability compared with the original mechanical fuel-supply arrangement.
Fleece Performance rates the system to support applications producing up to 800 horsepower when properly selected and installed.
Active Fill Bucket
The active fill bucket is designed to keep fuel around the pump assembly and help reduce fuel-starvation concerns sometimes associated with external draw straws and tank sumps.
This integrated design supports consistent fuel delivery while retaining an in-tank pickup.

Critical Fitment Verification
This kit is intended only for 1998 trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins and the late-style VP-era dash configuration.
These trucks were originally equipped with Carter sending unit part number 52102079AB. Verify the truck’s original sending-unit part number and fuel-level sender resistance before ordering.
