I replace the original fuel pump in 2015 with one from a local Napa. [emoji2371] To access the pump, I need to either pull the bed or drop the tank. Neither is an easy task.

The work goes on.

I had a FP go bad just going down the street. Yes, I had a load of gas to pump out. People don't realize that running these at a 1/4 tank does not provide the cooling for the pump as 1/2 tank or more will. That can cause the pump to fail.

IDK how to check it w/o a gauge but I bet there's a hack. Seems like you could see some fuel in the TB too unlike port injection. The butterflies should be wet. A little wet anyway. I did have to by new injectors once in 250K+ miles. I owned mine 24 years.
