I ran across 2 IP's.

I had both inspected for contamination, both were clean.
I had them both calibrated. Both pumps tested in spec.
IP #1 is model 5429 date code 8/20/98

IP#2 is model 5521 date code 1/25/01.

Besides the obvious 5521 being the newer of the 2 and I have compared the calibration specs to to the test proceedure. Only minor differences in the pumps output readings.
Which Pump would you keep as a spare?

My experiences are when buying what appear to be warranty R&R IP's, worked out for me.
I suspect the PMD or other vehicle problems for these 2 pumps being replaced.
I should point out that the top cover on #1 was leaking, the seal was out of grove. Which probably drove the replacement.

If only keeping one, I'd keep the newer... Stanadyne made incremental improvements throughout the life cycle of the 6.5 DS4. This is partly what drives the model number evolution - same pump, same application, but with minor mods and new model numbers..
