Fuel Pump Nosies

[J.A.B]

Okay so I have seen load fuel pumps before but I think mine is screwing with me.

Started this **** several weeks ago - when the jeep is first started no noise can be detected. Seems like as it gets hotter outside it starts to get louder and louder until the sumbicth sounds like it is gonna take a **** any min. Cut the jeep off for a long period of time and it will repeat the cycle. The pump only has 5 rides on it. Checked the filter and no blockage there.

For reference the pump is external and located on the frame rail and is not to close to exhaust or anything that would direct heat right on to it. Only real worry is that it will strand me on the back 40 somewhere with no warning. I do not have a fuel pressure gauge but I cannot tell any change in the motor when it is making noise.

Any thoughts......

hey josh did they have that pump at advance? or have u tried another pump . it could just be a bad pump from factory . u get those sometimes . if i can help just give me a call . i picked up another tank like yours , but the guy had rigged a factory in tank pump inside it . he said it worked good but i have not got to try it yet.

That pump has been discontinued by bot Carter and Holley since 2000 they say. I did find one similar to it but the connections are not the same. I can make it work however - just did not want to pay the $120.00, might buy it an carry with me as a spare in the even I need it.

Try one of these if you are running Fuel injection.

Just put one on a 5.3 and works great!

if you buy the gsl 392, make sure its a WALBRO!!! that one is worth the $120. the kock offs come in at about $50. they last like a $50 pump too, and are good for spares.

I bought 2 off eBay for a lot less than local. Fast delivery too.

I think it was this guy:

Thanks guys - I did find a pump that would work and purchased it for a spare. Got a little louder this weekend but I am going to run it until it shits on me
