Hard starting problem

[Rewind]

So what's the difference between them?

DELPHI Part # FG0086 {#FG0087} MODULAR FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
Exc RFI Filter Stamped GAV; Contains Internal Pump Strainer


DELPHI Part # FG0087 MODULAR FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
RFI Filter, Stamped GDJ, GFK (Only 1 Remaining)

What does the "stamping" mean?

There's a three letter code like the ones you listed on a sticker on the OE pump assembly. You need that code, or the part number of the aftermarket pump that's in the truck, to get the correct assembly. It's a PITA because you need to pull the assembly before ordering to be sure you get the correct one.

She stumbled a little this morning, had to crank 3 times to get her to run.

Question..............should you be able to hear the pump priming when you turn the key on?

Yes, but you shouldn't have to prime at all.

It should hum but not whine. I need to replace mine soon too.

Yea, I'd say mine is more of a wine than hum.

How hard is it to drop the fuel tank to fix this? Wondering if I should do it myself or let a shop do it.

Take the bed off! Especially with your light fiberglass stepside. Way easier than dropping the tank.

 

[Rewind]

Hummmm....................

Can 2 guys lift the bed or would it take 4?

 

[ChrisAU]

I've always heard 3. But we used a fork lift and straps ha. An engine hoist can do it to I hear.
