fuel pump dieing?
My fuel pump started constantly whining couple of months ago. It starts to whine after I have been driving for about 30-45 mins and then won't quit. In the past it only whined when I was really low on fuel.

Cant really tell ya if Its going out or not. I would guess prolly but dont take my word for it. I can tell you that You sure didnt help it by running low on fuel. Also if you havent been changing the fuel filter you better watch out. I never run less than a half take and change the filter every 9k miles. Hope your getting worried for nothing but I wish you the best of l luck.

How many miles on the truck? My bro's went out around 130 on a 01 Silvy and my 99 Sierra at 170k hasn't gone out yet. His gave him notice before it quit though like turning over and not firing the first time. He had time to fix it before he absolutley had to. I think it's damn near 400 bucks though. I suggest lifting the bed off rather than dropping the tank just MHO.
