Okay guys. The 2001 is throwing codes, it's the lift pump I'm fairly sure. I don't have the money right now for a new pump. I was wondering if anybody had a stocker taking up space in their garage that I might be able to score. I would be willing to put up a little cash and pay shipping...but the cheaper the better. I need to get this thing on the road. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You and God Bless,
Phillip Hooker

Phil........I have prolly close to a dozen of them on the wall in the shop but they are all in the same shape as yers......do yerself a favor and look at this as an oppertunity.remember this too

Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results

 

I know man...but I'm very short on funds...figured I'd get the vp fed then save up for something better...I do take donations though :l: :l: :l:

 

I can donate the 12 bad ones to ya then ya could save for a VP and a decent fuel dilivery system all at the same time.

a couple years ago I had a friend up here in the exact same boat as you......he ended up with a used l/p and was happy......he still didnt invest in a fp gauge so about a year later we put a fass II and a new IP and also a fp gauge

 

well what about the cheapest replacement pump?

 

you have read all that jazz a zillion times Phil and you should know by now that the cheapest isnt always the best

 

Phil, how do you know its the lift pump if you dont have a fuel pressure guage?

Of course, I would suggest getting a fuel system upgrade....BUT if funds are that tight you could look at trying to get a campaign lift pump (not sure what the price is now) and a vulcan bigline/LP relocation kit. This is going to cost $200 minimum.

What happened with the code scan??? Even with the code scan you STILL need to check fuel pressure.
