It will start have to keep pumping pedal to keep it going. Had fuel pump checked said it was 36. Need to know what it is supposed to be stalls going up hills. Thinking it might be the filter in the line after it gets up the hill it starts running right. Should not have to pump until your foot falls off.

Hello, I am Danny.

That could be your problem.The fuel pressure specifications for your truck is 55-62 P.S.I. Sounds like your fuel pump is weak/failing. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed.Thanks for using 2CarPros.
