should your lift pump run everytime you cycle the key or does it know when it is require to presurize the system. 3000 milles and the lift pump doesnt seem to run all the time?

Re:on a 2003

The lift pump pulls the fuel from the tank to the injector pump which in turn pumps the fuel to the injectors which spray fuel into the cylinders which...........................

You get the point...

Re:on a 2003

Hey Bigcumminz,

I am still new here myself and am on my second diesel. The only dumb question is one that is not asked. Lots of great people here to help.

The lift pump transfers fuel from the tank to the engine bay to the Injection pump. It seems the lift pumps were an issue with the 2gen trucks. I never had a problem with my 02 but I only had it a year until the power bug got the best of me and I traded for an 03 HO. I have not heard of any lift pump issues with the 3rd Gen trucks but time will tell.
