In the Worst Case Sinario (hopefully its the filter) of the Fuel Pump being the culprit...

1. Where is the Fuel Pump Located?

2. How hard is it to replace?

3. Should I even bother, or have a shop do it?

4. How much will it cost at the Shop / Home?

This stuff is really bumming me out at the moment.

 

Its in the gastank .Id recomend a mechanic ....I would not think it would need changing with only 50 k miles ..but maybe so .

 

try replacing your fuel filter first

 

I'm hoping it's just the filter. This is just an end of the world, worst case sinario question

 

Ya you would think with only 50k it would be gone.

Guess I'll find out tomorrow when I switch the filter..


I'll let you guys know what happens

 

Yeah, 50K is low.......but a clogged fuel filter will kill a pump no matter what the milage.

I've seen several trucks with bad fuel pumps at 60,000.......I took the fuel filter off and tried to blow through it.....100% clogged. You should be able to blow through a fuel filter relatively easily.

 

True , forgot about that killing the fuelpump , it can kill it .Maybe thats why mine has lasted so long , I have almost 184 thousand miles on my original and I change the fuel filter when Im suppose to .
