Red face I think my fuel system, truck hates me WTF what you think??

As most of you know I have had a few run ins on fuel probs.. Frankly I am tired of doing **** the right way, just start rigging **** up I noticed the other day, of a ticking sound in the truck.. I looked today at my FP gauge(manual) only to see the needle jumping around like crazy, thats the sound it was the sound I am hearing. What could this be or causing this.. I was thinking, the way my luck is, that when I ran it for the few weeks with out my sock on the intank filter it picked up dirt, is now in the FP gauge.. That would def cause this correct.. I havn't had a chance to run the truck to see if fuel is being choked off due to the rain.. It is running fine, just the gauge is bounching like crazy... What you all think.. I guess ima have to change filters, clear the system out... Sorry for the long post

You have the worst luck with the fule system! Get that fixed before March, we do not want to hear any reason that you cant get into the 11's!

Good luck getting it resolved.

sounds like trash in the line to me. take the gage off, put a rag over the open hose, and turn the key on to prime the pump. let it blow that **** out, and replace the filter/sock if its easy to get to (cant remember if you cut the bed yet)

that should solve your issues..

send me the gage and i will give you a Navy qualified calibration on it

I hope you get it figured soon I hate on going problems like you're fuel problems and Deweys voltage issue.

Hopefully it's just some debris in the line like you mentioned, but if it's a problem with the pump at least you can get to it through your access hatch
