Truck issues

[Majik]

Pushed in valve stem while cranking and nada. Dry as a bone.

Well let me know when, and I guess I will be helping you drop the tank.

Even easier than hooking up a hose and running it into a jar. Make sure someone is nearby with a lit cigarette, though.

Yes, that will work but it since it never gets to the regulator it only spills a small amount of fuel and then will cut off. Thats what we were doing before we found out about the valve.

Get a fuel pump (around $300 locally! ) and put it in.I have my bro checking to see if he can save me some money and dropship me one.

Do some research and see if you can find out what it is. I believe I recall Gary mentioning that the pump that the dealer wanted a fortune for for his turned out to be a Walbro that he could have gotten for a third the price.

I've been searching Motorcraft parts. I want to stay OEM.

Is that like JDM... but for American stuff??

Ford fuel pumps are very model dependent. Year, engine, wheelbase. Stupid, I know.

F U Titus... er, eh... I mean, F U whatever your name is...

Hey Sammm,

Stupid question, but did you put a voltmeter on the wires going to the fuel pump to see if it's getting power?

Maybe you have a bad relay instead...

No stupid questions, only stupid answers. POS and I swapped relays yesterday with a functioning circuit with the same results. I can hear/feel the relay engage and disengage.

Yep..in the tank. Have to drop the tank to remove it.

How much gas you got in the tank? When my fuel pump died on my Suburban, I had just filled up the day before. 44 gallon tank. Even after siphoning out as much as possible, it still weighed a ton. Had to use a floor jack to drop it.

So free 87 octane for anyone that shows up to help!

[Machismo]

Think about maybe getting an electric pump that you can choose the location and when or if happens again, it is easy to get to. That's what we do on our '61 Chevy pick-ups.

[sammm]

It's around 1/4 tank right now (25 gallon max). I was already planning on using the floor jack to drop it and put it back in.

Just ordered a new OEM fuel pump from RockAuto.com ($239).

[sammm]

New fuel pump is in (and new fuel filter for good measure). She's running like a top again!
