You are so right. I will be installing one as soon as I get my 6.0 IC and tranny cooler installed.

I hope the pump was your problem...but thought I would ask. What was your fuel tank level when it went out? Was it at or below 1/4? Did you put fuel in the tank prior to firing it up with the new pump?
The reason I ask, is that if your Fuel Tank Pickup Foot broke and you put more fuel in prior to firing it up with the new pump installed, then you might have this other problem and not know it yet. If you get your fuel tank low enough to start sucking air again, your truck will die. This happened to me, and Mueckster and I were surprised the foot had broken (when we dropped the tank to do the Hutch mod). But apparently, this is a bit more common problem than we thought, as I noticed Diesel O-Rings' site sells the foot for this very reason.
I hope your problem is solved...but thought I would put this comment in here in case a future reader has symptoms that might be related to this other cause.

Tank was full. I use Flying J for all my fuel.
I did the in tank mods a couple of years ago.
