Lift pump died on my 03, can I replace it w/a walbro or a fass, or do I have to have a stock one along w/ the ones above? thanks, charlie


03 s/c 2wd 6 spd w/ diablosport/powerpuck/cold air/ straight piped-more to come

 

On the way home from dinner tonight, I got a CEL, P0148, my friend says it is probably the lift pump too. (Though I am still able to drive)


He suggested going with the stock pump if funds were tight or just getting the FASS if I had the cash. I am also looking for guidance, the $400(???) for the FASS is not a problem, just wondering if that money would be better spent elsewhere?

Sorry for the hijack.

 

I used the GDP Walbro 391 kit. It's an excellent kit and works just as excellent! A lot of guys stay away from the in-tank DC pump for various reasons. It still isn't big enough for high hp, it's an even bigger pain to change if it quits and it's best to stay above 1/4 tank to help cool it. Get the tank vent kit while you're at it (well worth ~ $35) and you can use the old vent stub for the return from the Walbro. Kill two stones with one bird! Craig

 

I agree with C Schomer... Id go glacier kit and do the vent mod while you have the tank dropped. There are cheaper ways to run a walbro pump but if you need a pump, its all there. Im piecing my kit together.

 

Yep, I bought 2/3 of the kit and pieced the rest together. I think I got the pump, bypass, elec. pigtail, adaptor block and hose for the back of the filter. I hardpiped the rest with SS. I also got a banjo bolt for the CP3 so I can periodicly check pressure. Craig

 

I just bought the truck last week, so she is still bone stock.

 

Gow ith the Glacier have one on my truck and love it. You do not have to drop the tank on the 03-04.5 trucks only the ones with in-tank pump. Best money I have spent.

 

It has had the rough / jumping idle every now and then, I was going to take it in to the dealer this week for the TSB about that.
