Well i think its finaly happening... my lift pump is goin out... I think.

My truck the other day drivin home maid a wierd noise almost like it had just been started when real cold and i figured no big deal tell it did it again and again and now very reilably itll do it several times shiftin through the gears and crusin. My question is will the LP make the vp make noise if it runs it outta fuel or do i have bigger problems like the vp itself?

 

I have seen several stock lift pumps make some funny noises when they go bad. Not always but sometimes. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

 

Nope need one of those too

 

Yes you do man.

 

if its your lift pump, u better replace it before your injection pump goes out, its expensive and no fun to put in

 

Ya i think im just gonna park it tell i get a lp and fuel pressure gauge in it so i dont end up havein to replace the vp

 

yeah you can only hope the damage is not already done. these should have come factory with fuel pressure gauge and a fass or similar pump

 

Ya they shoulda... well i just realized Ill have to have my truck runnin in a week and a half because i have to go to stockshows... so is a fass ddrp or ppe pump worth it for now at least? they are the cheapest aftermarket pumps i can find

 

You could get a Raptor Pump.

 

If youre in a real pinch for $ you can get a holley blue or black and get a stiffer spring from the hardware store to build some pressure with it.
