Hey all. I got have a hum coming from my cars rear end when i hit the brakes. It only occurs when there is less than half a tank of gas however. Im assuming this is the fuel pump? Should i look at getting it replaced? I already have the axle dropped to swap rear ends but am not really liking the idea of dropping another 100 or so on a new pump. What do you guys think? Normal or on its way out?

 

No ones got anything?

 

to the top again...still want to know what everyones opinion is.

 

just sitting there you should hear some higher pitched whining/humming which is normal for most fuel pumps. They do sell some that operate quieter... as for the condition only happening under a hard brake i'm not sure about that...

 

Have you checked your brakes.......

 

LOL yea i have. The drums are going anyways but its only when there is less than half a tank of gas so i thought that it was the fuel pump. I could be wrong though but the sound persists for a second or two even after im done braking.

 

I have kind of the same hum from the rear under braking, does yours continue for a couple of seconds after you've come to a stop?

I have a fairly noisy fuel pump, and drums in unknown condition.

 

Yea mine continues for a couple of seconds after i come to a stop.
