Fuel pump dead!!!!
Needs some help guys just replaved my fiel pump on a 01 and it lasted about 10 miles i notice everytime i turn the key on (fire up the pump) the first few seconds it would pump air then start pumping fuel. Even if it running and i shut it off and turn it back on in like 10 sec it has air.. soooo is that normal or am i lossing prime somehow also when it fires up it runs great does not lope and start like it starving of fuel... Also when it went out it almost sounded like it sucked something up maybe like it was chewing and grinding rocks or something

I would drop the tank, inspect, clean, do both the Hutch/Harpoon Modifications, Clean the Mixing Chamber Screens (or remove - You'll need a in-line filtration system), replace connections, O-Rings, reassemble and go from their.

These fuel pumps are fragile. In that, they NEED fuel passing through them to assist in cooling. Their life expectancy is very short without a constant flow of fuel.

The harpoon mod is when you cut the fuel fill pipe down so you can actually fill the tank all the way. The hutch mod involves more than just replacing the QD lines with a double-clamped hose all the way from the tank to the fuel pump. There are also modifications that need to be done inside the tank, and it sounds like maybe modifications either have not been done, or have failed in some way. You need to drop your tank and see what's going on inside. No need to delete the fuel bowl either. It won't solve your problem. Never use Dorman o-rings. OEM quality only (dieselorings.com or riddraffdiesel.com) or you will just end up doing the job twice.

The only real way to answer that is with a fuel pressure gauge and a tablet with torque pro or forscan on it.
