I'm back in town and need to get this figured out...I guess I'm going to go pull my valve covers and look around. Will a cracked spring be hard to notice or will the spring be off center?

UPDATE: Called my friend who is a tech at a dealership to see if he would drive my truck to make sure its my pump and if not find out whats going on. He told me that the 05's have a bad rep for fuel pumps and that the stock one is back ordered. He also told me the extended warranty I wasted my money on will cover the pump (which will be amazing)

Good deal. If the warranty covers it then I guess it wasn't a total waste and then you get to let someone else do the work. Hope they can get to it in a reasonable amount of time.

I have all the time in the world if its free, I'm cool with bumming rides off friends and family Ryan thanks again for the help, even though we didn't get a definite answer from the logs it helped narrow the possibilities. I'd buy you some beer but you have a brewery in your backyard and Natty probably can't compare

ya please don't buy me any of that crap... I still drink store bought stuff from time to time, but my tastes are more in the micro-brewery category.
