Hi:

I have to do more research, but 8lbs doesn't sound right to me. I was thinking more like 15. I will try to find it for you, but if you know someone at the local dealership, they may get you a quicker answer.

I'll let you know what I find. Let me know if you find out before I do. Finally, when you checked the fuel pressure, was it during a time the truck wouldn't start?

Hi:
According to google, 10 PSI is normal. Now I have a stupid question for you. You said you checked the pressure between the pump and filter. Does it loose any after the filter? I realize that you most likely already know to check the filter, but since I'm not there, I don't want to assume.

Hi:

I'm sorry, but I'm not there to look. Therefore, I suggest you take it to a mechanic for the location. I wish I could help you better, but the miles between us stops that.

Good Luck,
Joe
