Starts But Won't Stay Running

[93rangerstx4x4]

these forums work best when the Op gives plenty of FEEDBACK about the truck. There are 2 mains reasons why I believe this. 1) it helps us in the process of helping you with your truck FOR FREE. 2) any future members that might be having a similar issue and read this thread.

ps. I changed the hangers and shackles on my truck and I removed my bed to do it

Not sure why you're insinuating that I'm not giving feedback. The fuel pump issue has turned into more of a "rehab the entire rear of the truck under the bed" issue. When I'm done I'll have all new spring hangers, a new fuel pump/sending unit with new lockring, drained and refilled rear diff with finned aluminum cover, and rust removed/encapsulated and painted frame rails and axle. I might even put a new receiver hitch and shocks on it as well.

I'd like to stay with the factory bed bolts, but the local dealer wants $14 a piece for them. Should I stick with these or just go to a standard hex head grade 8 setup? I've read where people take the clips off the frame and weld nuts to them and use standard bolts. Anybody have any experience here?

Trust me you would have gotten more help if you had given feedback about all the suggestions you got

The motto on these forums is diagnose then replace. You seemedto have skippedthe DX part. You should have just changedthe pump without even posting on the forum. Hell I don't think you even changed the fuel filter first
