I thought it was part of the new pump? Or is yours somewhere else?

It's on the pump but you don't get one with the new pump you have to use the old one. Ordered one will be here Tuesday. Also I'm going to replace the fill hose it look really bad.

I replaced all the vent hoses and ordered a new fill hose only problem is it doesn't get here until Thursday. The sensor is in town today and says it's will be delivered today so just waiting for USPS. I called Autozone and they didn't have one in stock and would take a week to get one.

But I thought one of the main problems you were having was too high a pressure. By snapping back on the same one, isn't it counterproductive changing the pump? If it was me and that is the pump regulator, I'd find a new one before you raise back up the tank.

Sorry Tony got you mixed up with one of the others that was running at 68 psi. Yours was at 22psi, sorry for the mix-up.

Perhaps my pressures?? My running fuel pressure is at 88psi .... Still not sure what the deal is but she's running well, so I'm leaving it be for now.

Your the one Bain, confused you with Tony. I wouldn't run that high, it's like running around with high blood pressure, you got to get that pressure under control. If something blows, it could be catastrophic, like fire that you can't put out. At the very least please keep 2 ABC type fire extinguishers with you. Your running wide open, surprised your not fouling spark plugs. It's like having an alternator with no voltage regulator to keep voltage under 15 volts.

Got everything back together fired right up and runs great only thing is sending unit not working so I drove down to the gas station put 20.00 in it and still on empty. To tired to do any more tonight will check the plug to make sure it's plugged in all the way tomorrow still have the old pump I guess if I have to take the new pump off and put it on the old tree.

Replace the pump is what has to be done, right? Is the regulator in the pump or is that a separate part number?

Great work Tony! Do you have to drop the tank again to reach the sender?

The fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail on the left side of the engine. I don't need to replace it the truck runs great now a lot more power then before. But I will need to drop the tank to get to the sending unit. Dropping the tank won't be as bad because I know what to do now.
