 Subject: fuel pump ??
IP: Logged
Message:
Ok, I have a 2K1, 4.7 QC 4whldr with 60k miles. The last 8K miles or so, it has been difficult to start. After sitting for 15-20 minutes, I turn the key, it cranks, but does not fire over. Shut the key off, crank again, sometimes a third time, and it fires right up. From what I read in some posts, it could be the fuel pump, probably loosing pressure. I have 3 basic questions, for now. One, how much is a fuel pump, two, how difficult is it to change one, and three,
am I safe to assume it is in the gas tank ?
Thanks

Not sure about the cost of the newer ones, but yes it is in the tank, and it is easiest to undo the 8 or so bed bolts and lift the bed with a friend, the pump will be right there. If you undo the tank from the underside it is a bitC% to get the straps back on. The cost of a new pump may be around $220-$400.

It could be the Crank Position Sensor, This sensor burns out on alot of Daks. Which could be the cause of your starting problem. Have you been getting any codes??

Three words. Dealer Dealer Dealer. Before you spend all your money on fuel pump ,crank sensor,cam sensor,coil pk,or whatever; you can have it diagnosed at a dealership for about $40 to $80. Then do the repair yourself if you'd like. It will save you alot of money in the long run.
