Regarding fuel pumps . . .
So I am messing around doing some things to the truck (2000 F250 7.3) this week and was watching some of Bill Hewitt's channel. He made mention of how fuel pump problems can actually kill a powerstroke engine. My rig has 204,000 miles and the original pump. Time to replace it. Should be cheap and easy. No serious performance mods on my truck. Planning on the standard oem pump but I have a question. Replacement pumps are fairly cheap and I thought it might be beneficial to simply install an additional lift pump in line and run them parallel. Anyone done this? The oem pump looks kind of puny to me for such a big truck.

First of all that low volume fuel pump in your tank, is in no way comparable to the high pressure lift pump that supplies your injectors. and if you call about $1200 cheap for a pump then by all means have at it and enjoy yourself. Also please keep us updated on where and how you installed it. Pictures are always nice too.

There is only one, and it is mounted on the frame rail below the drivers door.

So I bought a replacement pump at ORiley AP for $70 that flows 34 gph and is rated at 45 psi. Thats more than the stock pump. Why would I need some pump that costs $1100?

That is my next goal. I have been wanting to do it for years but since I retired (was forced to) I have some time now. I want to study up on those mods as much as I can first. I know they are good ones to do. My pump is working fine now but at 200,000 miles, just got to change it and its an easy job.
