If you're looking to upgrade your fuel system, the aFe Power DFS780 might just be what you need. This setup is designed specifically for 2013-2018 and 2021 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the L6-6.7L diesel engine. It’s all about making your rig run smoother and more efficiently without unnecessary wear and tear.
One of the standout features is the built-in bypass for the stock fuel system. This clever design lets your vehicle use the stock fuel pump during light loads, which not only reduces the strain on the DFS780 but also helps keep the factory high-pressure pump in good shape. Less wear means longer life for both pumps—who doesn’t want that?
The clear high-impact polycarbonate sight glass is a game changer. You can easily peek in and check your fuel condition without any guesswork. And when it comes to the guts of the system, the helical bronze spur gears are a solid choice. They handle contaminants better than steel gears and run quieter, so you won’t be cringing every time you start your engine.
Now, let’s talk about the build quality. The manifold is made from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, which eliminates the porosity issues that can come with cast aluminum. Plus, it’s got contoured CNC machining that enhances flow, helping to reduce any pressure drop due to restrictions. This means you get better fuel delivery when you need it most.
Worried about durability? The "marine grade" motor is designed to withstand dust and powerful water jets, so you can hit the trails without a second thought. And installation? It’s a plug-and-play deal. The supplied harness connects directly to your battery and uses Deutsch weather-proof connectors, so you won’t have to cut or modify your stock fuel lines. If you ever want to revert to stock, it’s a breeze.
Another cool feature is the boost-activated pump engagement. This preset switch kicks in the pump only when you’re under load, which helps extend the life of both the DFS780 and your stock lift pump. Plus, there’s a fuel pressure gauge port (1/8 NPT) that lets you monitor your fuel pressure easily. And those O.E. quality Viton seals? They’re compatible with diesel and biodiesel fuels, so you’ve got flexibility there.
Just a heads-up: this system isn’t CARB exempt, so if you’re in California or have a vehicle registered with the California DMV, you might want to look elsewhere.
