Is it not getting enough fuel through it? That screen in my tank (mixer) has been there for 291k... I'm planning on doing the in-tank mods soon. I'll bet that'll help some. But I definitely think my pump's gonna crap out!

But Ron,
You have the stock pump and have NO issues with maintaining steady PSI on the injectors? You're running higher than stock PSI, right? I just don't want to have what's happening to Joe happen to me.

mine is silent, I hate to replace it but with my setup im designing, I need a screw type fitting in the rear for my -8 hose to go into.
the stock pump has the quick fitting, that I can not find an adaptor to fit that goes into a flare type fitting.

Just an option, when I was running into all sorts of fun with my pump/in tank mods, I found out ( at least per the part number and description ) that the 5.4 pump was in tank. If that is in deed the case, then I would suggest the 5.4 fuel pump, this would help reduce air in the fuel lines. There was plenty of supply per the speck sheet.
If you need more info, I will go and look up my old thread and see what I can find. but just another option for ya.

My Walbro lasted about 3 months. Left me stranded 100 miles from home on a Sunday afternoon. I searched 5 different autoparts stores in the town I was in at the time and no one had a pump in stock. One parts store finally had one and I changed it out in the parking lot. Could have been a fluke, but the company I ordered it from wouldn't honor the warranty even though I hadn't told them I used it in a diesel. They kind of gave me the run around so I chalked it up as a lesson learned.

My walbro quite on me, I was able to send it in a get a replacement but that one died in less then a year too. So I went with a FASS HPFP, no problems, works great. But it is very loud.

I am seriously thinking of doing a dual pump setup, after all I am as dependent on my truck as the rest of you and as dependent on my truck as my fish are on their water and they have dual pumps.

Anyhow, any and all information is welcome.
BTW, hope I didn't

Pickup screens are clogged and restricting fuel flow.
I got rid of mine altogether and put the fuel pump at the end of the fuel pickup.
ZERO issues for three years now.
It's a Bosch 69430.
If you decide to do this, you need to peel off the plastic sticker that is applied to the outside of the pump.
The sticker won't melt in the diesel, but the glue that holds it on will and it will end up floating in the tank.
I found that out when I dropped the tank back down to check on things a short while after I did this job. Had to fish it out of the diesel fuel.
