Lance 1181 on old Dodge dually??
I lost our new 1050S last week due to a shop/garage fir,(pretty traumatic). Were looking at a used 1181 which I know are heavy, I'm sure it'd be pushing 5000k fully loaded. I've got a 99 Dodge 3500 4x...

You are correct, they did do an in-tank pump retrofit for that reason - but it was just as bad!
There are now very good aftermarket pumps, usually frame mounted, that completely resolve the old
Dodge lift-pump issue. Those are the hot setup now. Plus fuel filter changes are an easy no-mess deal now; just slide a bucket under and unscrew it. The original setup is on the side of the motor and filter changes were a mess.
One benefit to running a truck that's been around a while (and popular) is all the design issues have been discovered and sorted out.
