All good, the new pump installed smoothly and truck is back in action. Good know on the algae. As far as you know does this typically only happen in warmer climates? Would this be a concern if I'm refilling about once or twice every other month?
Nice idea to test. Lucky new mechanical pump installed without issue and trucks running strong! Still unsure as to why the previous two electrical pumps crapped out, either way I'm glad I have it back to the mechanical system as intended. No need to have unnecessary draw on the batteries too...
Missed that, my bad. Yes to check valves and fuel filter. Better yet, the new OEM pump installed smoothly (after stupidly trying to get the rod in with plate on). Truck is running great. Thanks for chiming in on my behalf

What a dummy (me) -- thanks for the quick reply correcting the error of my ways before I hammer the damn thing at the wrong angle. Duh, plate needs to come off. Thanks again, Maxjeep1

Where to begin… Last summer I was having some fuel delivery issues on my M998. Basically it would run out of fuel on a full tank while driving. Not a convenient issue to have.
Problem seemed related to the fuel pump so I swapped it with a...
