couldnt rear your post over there
to many commercials and pop ups



but yes you could get a commerical hydraulic pump.......
but youd have to fit it to the 7.3 engine and gear case
a big oil pusher available from one our sponsors might solve your problems


or one from another reputable source

pm roosterdiesel
he has tons of knowledge in this arena

No surprise that you cant get help at TDS.

I read your question and I know I have seen the numbers that you are requesting. Back in the earlier days Bean and Jonathan discussed this stuff openly. Its not a HUGE amount of oil we are trying to circulate, but when you factor in the pressures that we are dealing with and then couple it with needing to fit in the valley of the 7.3 it gets a bit dicey. Have your tried giving Bean a call yet? If all you are looking for is supply quantities I am fairly certain he will share them with you.

Naw I haven't. The figures I came up with are from the 7cc per revolution on the stock pump based on Swamps post back a few years. I am sure the flow figures are sound, and 4000 psi is more than enough, the biggest obstacle I see is the relatively low rpms available been as its driven at cam speed. Retaining the piston pump should take care of that though. Piston pumps are generally more effecient at lower rpms, and gear pumps need a little more speed to pull better flow rates, so they should balance each other out. I am also sure Bean would help too, I talked to him and ended up replacing my ipr back 4 or 5 years ago when I was learning about the strokes and BDP was just another man working for swamp.....super nice guy and helpful. I just hate to bother him as I'm sure hes super busy....

By the way haven't seen ya lately, missing the 95 yet? Those new trucks sure are a nice ride but I still love the shape and lines of the obs, ain't much of a fan of the 6.0 either....

I get a pang of guilt every once in a while. The 95 was a good truck, but it was time for it to go. I havent been running the 06 as much as I used to run the 95 but so far so good.
