First, try to remove the spool from the valve on the dump pump. Clean it and re-install it. Sometimes dirt can keep an oil pathway open enough allowing the oil to return too quickly when the box is lowered. If that doesn't work, check the air shift hoist valve in the cab to make sure the air pressure isn't still engaging the spool which would force the hoist to lower.
All you really need to know is whether it is direct-mount or remote-mount, and whether or not it is air-shifted. After that, speak to someone at your local Parts for Trucks or another heavy duty shop near you, and they will be able to set you up with the correct pump.
