1988 Dakota LE fuel pump module
Hi folks. I am tired of replacing my fuel pump in my broken module assembly in the tank on my Dakota. It is a 1988 LE with the 3.9 V6 and TBI. The plastic framework itself is broken and replacements are not available. I am planning on getting a frame rail mounted fuel pump from Summit and a generic type level meter to install in the tank. Should I be looking at an exterior pump rated at 70psi? Or will that be too much pressure? .

However, if you're ever going to replace that motor with a EFI motor, you'll want higher PSI than 30; and it's a bypass regulator, so excess pressure, as long as it doesn't overdrive the regulator, will be fine (it'll just shunt back into the tank).

Not ever going to replace the motor. When this engine starts blowing smoke then it's the end of the line. I will have owned it ten years this August. Bought it when it was only 20 years old. This truck doesn't owe me a thing. Got my money's worth long ago. I think I will go ahead and order the 30psi pump. And maybe try to find a service manual if I can get one online cheap.

That may depend on your definition of "cheap"; RockAuto has the electronic version for under $23 ( https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...r+manual,10335 ) and the paper under $50. You can also sometimes find them used on Ebay.
