I'm assuming this is uses an in-tank pump, one in each tanks, and the dash switch sends power to the selected pump (as opposed to a valve). Anyone know how this system is laid out - Duel pumps, switching valve, or both?
Anything else that could cause this? I searched the archives but did not see this addressed for this late a model. Rex in Fort Worth
A pump in each tank. No valve. You'll have to have 1/2 tank or less, drop the drive shaft, then let the front strap loose. If it's fuller than that, then siphon it off and put it in the rear. Then loosen the rear strap and let the front of the tank drop. THEN you can get to the lock ring and remove the pump / sender assembly without taking the tank out of the truck. NOW the back tank is a different story. Consider yourself lucky its the front..

Steve Much Thanks, just what I needed.

Earlier trucks had a valve that was switched by fuel pressure. It was a large plastic affair. If the newer trucks don't have a valve how does the return fuel find its way back to the tank it came from? My 87 had a problem with the valve that allowed fuel from one take to end up in the other. There was a recall on this problem.

Followup question: Any special tools requried? For example, do the hoses use the newer connectors which require the lock-ring tool?
I got the fuel pump today. Strange-looking thing, encased in white plastic.

I just noticed this pump cost me $111.00 plus tax. Does that sound about right? Rex in Fort Worth
That's cheap. I've been paying about 150. Where'd ya get it?
I work for a distributor, but I still have to check prices. Especially on fuel pumps. Some major differences between brands the last 12 months.
