Fixed. The Y fitting on the Fuel Pump was disconnected ad one of the pumps. The worm clamp seems to have been tight, but either it came off. I dont know what caused it to come loose and i did not want to take a chance on wether the pump was good or bad. So i just bought a new one and through it in there so that i wouldnt have to worry about. it was a tough job all by myself.

either the truck is happy again. Thanks for your help.

Did you put a metal Y fitting in?

You should've done a little upgrading while you were in there...

last spring

with an epidemic of fuel lines popping off, i decided to pull my bed and check the clamps. I decided if i was to go through all that, i'm upgrading the pumps and putting a metal y fitting in there.

It makes a difference with the new pumps. Fuel pressure guage moves alot quicker when you stomp it. It doesn't climb, it snaps right over.
