Sarah and I are going on a trip this coming week that we've been planning for a long time. Once I'm back, I have to take care of more family issues so I most likely won't make it unfortunately. I'll be there in spirit though.

 

Well, got the lift pump off today. That wasn't too bad. The only potential thing that I might see as a pain is putting the banjo bolt on the input of the pump.

You've proably stressed your LP a bit with the comp, but you still got me worried now about my lift pump -- 19,000 miles on my truck, and my FP gauge is still sitting in my closet waiting for me to install it <br>[/quote]<br><br>I have a 99 ETC. I have a new pump on the way today and I'm hoping I'll be able to install it tonight. I have the old one out already so it shouldn't take me more than an hour or so to get it done. I have to get some crush washers at the parts store. Other than that, I have all that I need and I am waiting for the pump to be delivered.

I have not had one leak yet, although I generally loose at least one on a change. Tip, if you cannot find a small part that you dropped, check the oil pan flange on the engine, they like to hit the starter and stay on the flange.<br>[/quote]<br><br>Thanks for the tip. I did lose one on the removal of the old pump. The one I lost was the one for the input of the lift pump from the tank. The others were easy to keep track of, but due to the way I had to loosen the banjo bolt on the input side, it came right off and I haven't seen it since. :-[<br><br>Funny thing is that I just got done calling around to parts stores, and there is only ONE store that I could find that has crush washers. They only have the copper ones.

If you do, makes me wonder what the point of the pusher would be if the lift still failed... Hmmmm.... <br><br>Tony<br>[/quote]<br><br>I do have a pusher pump. It's a stanadyne fuel manager with a 30 micron filter attached to the frame of the truck. The only thing I can think of is that the lift pump may have eventually been going bad anyways, but I'm not sure. I think that without the pusher pump, my injector pump would have been toast. Hard to say really.
