i have original lift pump do i have to change pump to tank as i was told in 2003 if you had pump problems the dealer would go to a fix changing to pump in tank

 

Not exactly what you are asking but YES the replacement pump will be an intank pump.


And it would probably help to title your threads something other than "Problems" You will get more views and answers when people have an idea of what the thread is about before they click it.

 

thank you rockcrawler 304

 

what i meant to say can i still buy filter housing mounted pump

 

I see.... I think you can still get the external pump but the in tank is a much better pump. If you have mechanical abilities and some basic tools you can do the job yourself.

 

Geno's sells replacement pump for your truck. Bought one for my 2004.5. Have not mounted yet still running original pump with 94,000 miles.

 

The change to the in tank pump still uses the same fuel filter at the engine. The old pump pressure measured at the banjo at the high pressure pump is 6.5 to 7.5 psi. After the mod, the pressure is only slightly higher rising to about 8 psi, but unlike the old pump, the pressure does not fall off as much under WOT. Be advised that these pressures are relevant only when the engine has warmed up. In cold temperatures, fuel pressure is less depending on both the fuel temperature and whether you are running summer of winter fuel.

 

where do i hook fuel guage up at to read pressure at idle and 55 mph

 

Look at Genos garage. They sell the gauges and adapter kits to tap into the existing line. (Banjo bolt)

 

ddwc52,
Please don't take offense to this, but if you have to ask where the banjo fitting is at the high pressure pump, you are in serious need of help with this. Please find a competent mechanic to help you. On the gauge installation, the gauge taps into this banjo fitting in a parallel fashion. This tube reflects line pressure to a gauge you install inside the cab. There are two styles of this gauge kit. One uses a diaphragm block where fuel sits on one side of the diaphragm and water/antifreeze on the other. You then run another tube from the antifreeze side of the block to the gauge. This is much safer than the other type of kit that runs the parallel fuel tube directly to the gauge. It is never a good idea to run fuel into the passenger compartment. Be sure to buy the kit that has this isolator block. Installing a gauge has long term benefits for monitoring fuel feed pressure, like pressure drop across a clogged fuel filter and other fuel feed faults. High pressure pumps are very expensive to replace and fail pretty **** quick in the case of low fuel feed pressure. These gauges are cheap insurance.
