Anyways the only reason I am bringing this back up is for moral support. I have already started pulling it a part.

Also, I think I am about ready to commit to getting Bean's electric pump set-up for this truck. Since this truck is a keeper I think the price will be worth it not to have this headache anymore!

Thanks for putting up with the rant and frustration. I still thoroughly enjoy my truck in spite of this continuing problem.

Hey Craig, what is the Bean's electric pump you are referring to? I was thinking about changing out my pump tomorrow but maybe I'll rethink it? Mike

It runs about $1K. It allows you to convert from the mechanical set-up you currently have to an electric set-up used by the newer PSD's (99 - ?). It can be done for cheaper (700.00) but you have to piece it together, Bean's kit has everything in it.

I can dig up more info on the DIY version if you want me to.

That would not be in the budget right now but maybe at a later date. I've started the process of changing my fuel pump today. Hope it all works out for you.

I know this may sound silly but a friend of mine (me) put the fuel filter o-ring on backwards. The beveled side goes upward.

Yeah, Craig, any update on this?

Nope, still leakin' like a sieve. I have been putting off the inevitable (removing the fuel bowl.....again) but it's gonna have to be done to fix this leak. I will keep y'all posted on how it goes. One sure way you'll know it's fixed is when you hear the heavens open up and angels singing, because that's what it's gonna sound like to me.
