I have a 1996 F150 shortbed with a 302 engine and automatic transmission. It has a single tank. The truck has 132000 miles and I have owned it for two years. I have replaced the inline fuel filter.
Today I heard a buzzing noise coming from the truck while it idled in my driveway. Crawling under the truck I pinpointed the noise as coming from the fuel tank. It sounds like florescent lights when they are cold and hum.
So it seems as if the fuel pump is dying. Since I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road I plan on replacing the pump soon.
My question is, do you recommend any particular brand? Any to avoid?
Do you have any tips to make the job easier? I plan on removing the tank, not the bed.
Thanks,
Terry
