My first batch with this guy was late 2019. Those 2 trucks still have those pumps in them. He has pallets of these why they are so cheap. There's a small demand for it. How long should pumps last though? They only take 25 minutes to swap out.

It happens. I get surplus ones on ebay. Been working for years plus I got a few as backups.

I don't think you'll pull anything out of the bottom drain as it's for water not fuel. The top one is a direct port from the lift pump to the filter

Pull a vacuum from the bleeder on top of the filter housing, not the hoses. The plastic plug on top, unscrew that and hook to the output on the left side on top. Or just crack it and turn over the motor. It takes a bunch of cranks.

I guess you could do that. I just got new used ones when it did it. They'll build pressure on a low tank on a hot day, too. Could be you're getting pressure and not vacuum in the tank. No way to really know.

I just redid a couple for mine. Went full restoration. Bought new glass frames and a seal kit. Got the glass tinted then glued them in the new frames. Got new locks too. I bought it all from summit...it was a surprise to me that the prices were about the same everywhere but the shipping was very...
Leaving it 24 volt is easier than changing it to 12. There's several good write ups on how to diagnose the alternators.

Do you have the truck or blazer. Blazer has no problem going 60 all day. Truck gets to maybe 65 depending on tire size.

Removing the governor would over fuel the engine and it would explode. The gm stock turbo setup fits fine but you lose an alternator and battery if I remember right. The hmmv turbo is a rear center mount so you'd have to cut the cab up to fit.

Not sure what fuel tuning you'd be doing but I doubt you'd notice any more power doing that. The only reason you would is if the air filter is completely blocked and the exhaust is rusted shut. These engines can't make more power without adding a turbo kit.

Dang I didn't think of throwing some fuses in the box too. I have several. I don't have any holders though. I used the same type fuel line and brass tees on mine too. My ocd brain had to use zip ties on them though. Some things I can't change! Those brass well nuts are nice. I used a coat hanger...
Do you have the rubber seal on the tailgate that keeps it tight? They wiggle a ton if you don't. I buy used tailgates whenever I can. Might be the way to go, take the parts out of it. Ebay has some. Really though of the gate is bouncing around new parts won't help. I have nos gm strikers if you...
