My lift pump is leaking I'am going to try keep running it that way for a little bit. I got the price for a new one which is 300 dollars CND I have to phone around to see how much difference in price. I doubt there will be

Usually the Ford dealer doesn't want anything to do with older trucks I doubt they would even have that in stock.

I have to go see the new mechanic that works in one of the shops here he drives a OBS PSD so he probably knows how to work on them. I'am not going to tempt it myself.

I changed my lift pump, bought it from NAPA for around 135. Been on a yr or so, everything doing good. Have good pressure and no leaks, what more can you ask for.

The OEM fuel line is blue. I would bet if the fuel lines are blue it has not been changed before.

good luck
