loosen the bolt that holds the fuel line to the injection pump and bump the starter see if any fuel comes out there. if theres none your lift pump is shot. the pump is located behind and below the fuel filter, it's bolted to the side of the motor. how much fuel pressure did you have when you drove it home? you should never have less than 10psi or you'll be buying a new $1200 injection pump.

The factory lift pump is on the left side of the block toward the rear. The dealers installed an in-tank pump as an upgrade when the factory pump failed...both pumps are junk.

Look into a fass, air dog or raptor fuel pump.

i didnt even get to put it in gear b4 it died..i was sitting in it warming it up maybe for 2 minutes then it cut off. when im driving the edge is always saying 10/11 psi when i put sum throttle into it it drops to 7psi and this morning in 50degree weather it hit 3psi when getting on it.and the low psi beeped.

if you get the truck running leave the box on stock, don't let the fp drop below 10psi:thumbsup: and order a airdog or a raptor pump asap

well since the tank is already dropped I'd definatly order the airdog 150 because it comes with a new larger draw straw. I just installed one on my truck about a month ago It's a pretty easy install, you already have the hardest part done. hopefully you can get one overnighted to you so your not down for to long.

WITH THE 150 DO I REMOVE THE FACTORY LIFT PUMP AS WELL AS THE FACTORY FILTER??OR WILL INSTRUCTIONA BE INCLUDED?

I f Im not mistaken no you dont need to remove the stock pump and filter. I bought the raptor so I use my stock filter but I left my stock lift pump on the block.

your truck shouldnt die because the lift pump is out. my buddies truck lived on no lift pump for about 3months.
