Front tank...ed?
I Have a 96 F250 that runs like p**p (barely runs at all) when switched to the front tank, runs fine on rear tank though. Does this sound like a fuel pump issue? other problem? If it's the pump where can i purchase one cheap. Thanks,

Pumping you up...
Dittoes on the fuel pump. Cheap? New ones are ~$150. Used from a salvage yard are quite a bit less and think of all the fun you can have dropping the tank again in the near future! Used is a great way to buy & save on a number of automotive items but I would submit in-tank fuel pumps are not on that list.
On a related note, if you had one of the later models with a fuel pump failure your truck would be tow truck fodder. Viva la dual fuel tank trucks!

i have a weak front pump too, rear works fine though. i always thought if a pump was bad it just wouldn't work, but i can drive with the front tank on this truck, it just doesn't have the "go" like the rear tank. it sputters and spits when i lay on the throttle, cruises ok though. it sucks, cuz i didnt realize that was a problem until after i replaced the front tank, putting the 'bad' pump into the replacement tank. so, i'll have to drop it again when i change the pump.
