now i see why we need FP gauges
Well, last night i hooked up my FP gauge, and had the enjoyment of learning how to crank injector lines and bleed the system (thanks turbotrent) once i got the truck running i was welcomed by a maximum of 3 PSI on my FP gauge.......now, today i am going to double check the pressure at the VP itself, and if the LP is bad i will more than likely get a cheapo pump from NAPA or similar and get the vulcan relocation kit

Could have been bad all along. These trucks will run just fine without the LP just takes it's toll on the VP when you do it. Fuel mileage suffers a little and if your pullin heavy you will feel the power difference.
Not unusuall at all for the LP to still make noise but not be moving any fuel. The internal overflow may be stuck open and fuel is just spinning circles in there. The motor itself is fairly strong in these stock pumps, most of the probelms found are in the overflow or pump mechanism itself.
This is just another great example of why it's so important to get a guage beofre you start having problems.
