Lightbulb 2006 Dodge Cummins 5.9L - Manual Fuel

Have whats listed - wondering if anybody has tapped into the fuel pump power and hooked it to a switch in the cab to manually run the fuel pump to prime the system.
I hate sitting there turning the key and hearing the pump run for 3 seconds and shutting off. Plus - I am looking at buying a second filter system for the truck. It would be much easier to change both filters and flip a switch to let the system fill up.
The pump runs all the time anyways once the truck is running so it should not know the difference. Is there an easy spot under the hood?

You can add another in filter either under the hood or under the truck without the need of adding another pump. Why change pumps if the one you have still works!

I would just buy a FASS system and that will take care of your second filtration system and with that pump it primes pretty much instantly
