Fuel Pump
I would like to provide the board a warning that I have learned the hard way. When replacing your fuel pump, do not order one for $56 from ebay as the part that I recieved is junk. I am returning and going to buy a Bosch replacement instead so I may have just got a bad apple, but the quality of what i recieved is really poor.
One day one after the install, my truck got me to my desitination and then would not start, upon inspection a hose had popped off the fuel pump, which was just letting fuel recirculate in the tank. I hose clamped that one and went on my way. 2 days later my truck breaks down in the middle of the highway, suddenly running "out of gas", keep in mind I have two thirds a tank. Had the truck towed home and inspected the fuel pump, a different hose had popped loose.
I should have known better to buy such a cheap replacement but I guess I was just hoping it would work out. Just wanted everyone to be aware so they will hopefully not have to experience the same aggrevation.
Take care!

This is a smokin' good deal if you consider the cost of a NEW part (or even the replacement motor), and also how robust D2 pumps seem to be compared to D1. I wouldn't hesitate to order one of these used.... if I needed one.
