What is the best way to check a cp3?

My lift pump went out on me last sat. I drove the truck about 5 hrs with low psi. I had like 11k on the flat and would drop down to like 3k on big hills. I did my best to keep the psi up I slowed to like 30 mph to keep psi up.
My question is what do I do to check the cp3 to see if its bad? Do I just put the air dog on and check my rp?

Thanks

cp3's aren't really like the old VP 44 pumps that would die without pressure.

put a new lift pump back in and go drive it.

if your lift pump went dead then you prolly starved the cp3 which may have damaged it therfore if your cp3 is not fueling enough then you will damage ur injectors...i have a saved paged on my computer that shows you how to check ur cp3

I doubt you did any damage to your cp3, the factory lift pumps are pull through types, and your cp3 can draw on its own, not like it was dead headed.

Change up the lift pump and should be good to go.

Isn't this the same CP3 that the duramax uses? They don't use a lift pump at all.

dodge cp3 need a lift pump to work properly...duramax pumps dont really need the use of a lift pump because they have a suction dodge doesnt.

flow test it....minimum of 450ml in 10 seonds....take the tube that goes between the cp3 and the fuel canister and put a longer tube on the fuel canister side and put the other end in a graduated cylinder and turn key on to bring fuel up to end of hose and put your finger on it and then have someone bump the key and allow the fuel to go into the graduated cylinder and count 10 seconds (do it about 3 times to get an average) if its less than 450ml time for a new one. Hope this helps

will dodge warranty the lift pump for the 100k mile warranty? I'm at 82k and was just wondering. I know i need to go with an airdog but i'm afraid my stocker is going out. Thought i might get them to buy me a new stocker to get me by for awhile if its under warranty.
