I have a slight hesitation when I am giving the truck gas under a load. It kind of jerks like it is starving for fuel when you accel hard. If you take off easy it is fine I have replaced the fuel filter & air filter.I have no codes I just wondered if maybe the filter on the fuel pump might be clogged or maybe a bad injector. If it might be the fuel pump filter would it be easier to pull the bed or drop the tank?How would be the best way to check the problem? Thanks Bruce

You would need to take a fuel pressure reading before even considering a fuel pump or even dropping the tank. I would more suspect the Mass Air Flow sensor. You can try cleaning it first. They sell a special MAF spray cleaner for that. Don't use anything else.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
