ok with the miles i have on this truck[326000] I think the pump is getting weak [white smoke at idle iradic smoke under power]. Is swaping the pump somthing the that the average guy can do or should i take it to a pro? what would be a good pump yo use and are there any other changes i should make at the same time? also i have been told the mater in my truck is not the original moter but the pump looks older than the rest of the moter. I want to keep moving forward with up grades but i dont want to tear it up either. I would sure appriciate any and all advice

If you want a really good pump, you need to go over to oilburners.net in the IDI forum and look for Agnem. He rebuilds and modifies the pumps. They are referred to as moose pumps. He can also do a stock rebuild or a Baby moose pump. He also has Moose misters, custom injectors. I've never changed a pump, but one thing I always hear is not to remove the pump with the upper gear housing. If you do you will be in a world of frustration trying to get the sucker timed right.
