Ecodiesel fuel pump failure

[Shawn Thomas]

Came here to give y’all a heads up. I had to replace my stock fuel pump at 145k miles. Was it the recall? Was it just because I ran the truck that long? Idk but I tried to replace with a Delphi pump. Bad news. It made it 10k miles before it melted/overheated on the connections. Thank Jesus it’s a diesel tank is all I have to say

My truck makes 12$ an hour for me with my job, so having it down a long time is not a great option, that’s why I chose the quick replacement option with this one. I am now ponying up the money for a FASS system. I should’ve done that in the first place though

The oem fuel pump is more than sufficient for these trucks. Mine has 183k and hasn’t had any issues. I’ve found when parts fail, go back with oem on these trucks, anything else is a crap shoot

OEM wasn’t a viable option as that was at least a month lead time to get in both occasions. And while I agree my original made it a decent lifespan, it was a quicker time to get the FASS system ordered and to my mechanic for installation
