After watching my lift pump suffer for a month of idling @ 12psi and running down the road around 5-6psi she has dropped to now idling @ 9psi and 3-4psi running down the road. So the new lift pump and fuel filter will be shipped out Monday. Are there any surprises I should look out for while installing or is it as pretty much strait forward as it looks?

 

no surprises at all took me about 1.5 hours the hardest part was unhooking the stock line from the tank but other wise easy

 

you mean the line coming from the tank to the back of the lift pump? i am going to take the fuel filter canister loose and dump it and clean it out since i go the fuel filter coming also

 

What type of pump did you get?
If you are replacing the stock LP if you remove the filter canister it makes it a lot easier to get at the LP.
Or if i was you i would mount it on the frame back by the tank and run a new line up to the filter.

 

for now I am goin to just put it back on the stock spot. But after the first of the year I plan on moving the new lift pump back to the frame with the vulcan relo kit.

 

The Bully dog fuel management system is cheap @ JEGS. I love it and half the cost of the FASS

 

ya but i am not really in to all that part of the fuel system i got 87k out of this lift pump and its still not dead its just getting weak so out with the old in the with the new and then after new years ill do the relo on it. its just were i live and were i go i cant really trust these new fangled yes i know they been around but i would trust oem for ease of finding the part and not goin up to some guy and say he mr you know what fass is LOL

 

the only trouble I've had when swapping pumps is the rubber hose that goes from the pump to the filter canister, on the last 2 I've done I had to put regular hose clamps on both ends & throw away the factory squeeze type clamps that were there, so you may wanna grap a couple of hose clamps just in case, Dusty

 

Well at 7:30 tonight I got my new lift pump installed and here is the new numbers

Idling - 15psi
2krpm- 13psi
WOT - 11psi


Now after hearing the new pump hum and how nice it sounds remember the grinding kind of hissing sound my old pump made LOL

 

I can only think of one!

When you least expect it, after you cruise along thinking everything's fine, since you installed that nice new shiney OEM lift pump, the pump will take a dump on you!

Upgrade to a Walbro or a FASS ASAP! I learned my lesson the hard way!

I see you plan on a big line upgrade at the first of the year. I'd make that a project for an aftermarket LP upgrade too!
