Thank you for the link. Are you running their 10 micron filter as well after the pump?

No, I'm running a factory type filter after the pump. If you're going to run their 10 micron filter after the pump, just make sure you don't mix them up! Just looking at them from the outside, they're going to be identical. I have cleaned mine once at the 25k mile mark, and although it was far from clogged up, there was a significant amount of debris in it. Granted, I'm not sucking the fuel through the factory fuel sender sock, mine is gravity fed from the bottom of the tank.

Hi all,

Just wanted to give everyone an update on the truck.

I received the filter in the mail a few days ago and there was an immediate difference in fuel pump performance. I could hold a constant 60 psi. The last few days I have put around 100 miles on it and have had to clean the filter twice.

This isn't much of a surprise to me as the gas tank I have was very dirty and even after cleaning I think there must be a little bit of gunk in there. I'm just going to keep driving it and keep cleaning it until no more gunk comes out.

I appreciate everyone's help and advice. It's looking like I'll be able to take my truck to the first day of school which I'm very excited for. I haven't been able to reliably drive it for about a year.

Again,

Thanks.
