i guess they tested the fuel lines. The fuel pump is putting out 90 psi continuously, they also did a vacume test on it and there were no leaks. They owner my cousin also pulled the sending unit and everthing looked good. He had enough room to get at the tank with the utilty bed still on. I have a hard time believing its the injectors as well. If they, where is a good source, he is thinking of putting in stage ones himself. He wants more power if he has to replace them.

Well that rules that out. How about the pressure after the fuel bowl to the fuel rails? Are the injectors getting juice?

They need to do a fuel pressure test with the truck on a steep hill and the throttle at WOT.

Three fuel pumps in a short period of time, I would suspect a low voltage problem to the pump!

Here's a quote from another post....

Just something to think about.
