JeepsOLot Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 After driving the Eliminator, I noticed that the pump is really loud when the engine is idling. When the engine is revved up or accelerating, it quiets down. This is a new pump I installed last month after I got the truck. I do have the power going through the resistor on the driver side fender. Thanks for any help, it's really annoying sitting at a stop light!!

Tommy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Airtex pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsOLot Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 I believe so, I got it at Advance Auto. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Mine is loud, too. It sounded like a turbine behind me. After I replaced the tank J-bolts and made sure the tank was very well mounted, it got quieter, so I suspect it was resonating weirdly through the tank, but either way, these pumps seem to just run loud. When it dies I think I'll install a fuel cell and an external pump for ease of maintenance and to prepare for an lq9 swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsOLot Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Well, my fears make sense, the pump is having issues. On my way to work this morning, I could hear the pump change pitch every now and then, and, every time it changed, the lights would dim slightly for a sec or two. The pump is just bad. Not sure what kind of warranty Advance has on these pumps, but, I'm hoping to take it back, exchange it for the Bosch pump, and just pay the difference. I'm sure the combination of the bad, crappy fuel and it being an Airtex pump is what did it in. Thanks, everyone! Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Get a Bosch or Carter pump if you can. That would be my biggest recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepsOLot Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Advance sells the Bosch pump, so, that's why I'm getting that. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
