Not sure if you've started or not Stiggybaby, but I guess the best advice I can give is be patient. I broke the EVAP quick connect at the pump trying to rush, and after wasting two days trying to track down a replacement, I ended up just splicing in a piece of hose with a couple of clamps. I figured it would be safe since it's not under high pressure or anything. Also, if the vent and filler hoses give you trouble and won't come off, just spend the $20 and get some new ones cut at Napa. Wasted WAY too much time on those trying to get them off undamaged. I wasted more time soldering the connector, I suck at it and it took way too long. Did have one moment of panic after I had everything buttoned up and connected the fuel pressure gauge. I still had the back end up on ramps and the gas that I had collected at the front of the tank. I was getting a zero reading on the pressure gauge and the truck wouldn't start. Took me a bit to realize what the problem was.

Presti7: I've only driven the truck to the gas station and back, but so far the redesigned pump seems to be working okay. Still having problems withh your truck?
