We have been gone for 2.5 months in the motor-home and on a 27 day cruse with Princess. Today I started my clean up and service, only to see diesel leaking from the Lift pump. Thanks to this group I recalled some had found the hard to get to bolts lose. I did tighten the bolts and the leak stopped but my question is was this a temporary fix?

This begs another question. Since the lift pump failure has been often reported in recent times, and blamed it on the ULSF; have the pump manufactures changed the construction materials to eliminate the problem, and if so when?

On IRV2 Cummins board, they reported that yes the replacement units are now set for ULSF. One of the reasons I use XPD in each tank, is to hopefully stall this from taking place on our ISL. We have a 04 model, but found out that the engine was made in June of 2003 and is a CAPS unit.
Many owners report high miles on their ISL's and ISC's with no problem by running extra lubricants in their tanks. Figure it is low cost insurance, and the extra cetaine can't hurt either.
If, probably when, ours goes out - we'll add an additional pump to aid the replaced lift pump. Probably overkill, but not that much more $$ in the overall scheme of things. I will especially do this if I decide to go ahead with the MP-8 mod. (Still on the fence on this, as I find the ISL370 covers us well 95+% of the time. Suspect the ISL Common Rail would have given me that extra bit of power band range to satisfy me. But, no retro from CAPS to Common Rail:)!)
Best to all,

Thanks, still would be nice to know what year the factory original pumps were redesigned for ULSF.

Hi Bob. Yes, but when? Would a 06 or 07 have the old or newer setup? Had a great week in Door County this past July!
