Fuel injected?

yes it is fuel injected

are you using parts store pumps? get an AC Delco pump if you are.

yeah im using store pumps! but i dont know what brand? can you get ac delco at o reilly's or autozone?

probably have to find a dealer, or a local AC Delco distributor. i worked for an AC Delco dealer 2 weeks ago, and i could've got you one at my cost, but i have changed jobs, and am an RV service tech now.

thanx man i preciate your help!! if i get that then ill have a good runnin pickup i was just really havin a problem with it and if i can get ahold of that part then i mite not.. but thanx:bowtie:

Make sure u have a good ground to the tank also !

im purty sure i have a good ground! i think my problem is that ive been buyin cheap fuel pumps and thay just cant handle it! and thay burn up so ill get me a new one:burnout:

Two things that wipe out a pump are not changing the fuel filter and letting the pump go dry.

i prolly needa check my fuel filter and not havin enough gas is that what you mean by them dryin out?

The pump uses the gas to stay cool - keep it submerged by not running low on gas.

aight i preciate all your help! that may be tha problem cuz it doenst have tags or insurance on it so we cant drive it very far from our house and we cant fill it up with gas!! but ill use your advice! thanx again:bowtie:
