Re: Help Please!
Alright, thanks a lot to everyone that helped me out! The truck is running good, I just hear some scratching/grinding when I accelerate hard when I'm going 40+ but that's about it.

Re: Help Please!
Can I worry now? I drove it home after my shift and halfway there it felt like someone was playing with the gas (on n off, on n off) and my foot was steady the whole time.

Re: Help Please!
I had a friend of mine that's a mechanic check it out for me and he said that my fuel pump could be on its way out.

Re: Help Please!
Yeah, we're probably gonna swap it out Wednesday or Thursday. If we find rust particles in the pump then I'm gonna have to save enough to replace my gas tank and fuel lines.
