I was talking to the guys at the shop that i take my truck to, they have adviced me to get a higher output fuel pump. apparently in 94 the 318s had at most 44psi pumps, they said that my 99 360 should have at the very minumum 44 psi. i assume my pump isnt putting out 44psi anymore, if it ever did.

is this statement true? should i be looking for another pump?
do they make one for my gas tank?

 

It's not the pump that makes more pressure, it's the regulator. It's hard to know what needs to be done without a wideband O2 to tell you. If you run a 94-95 5.9 PCM with the 94-95 (5.2 and 5.9 should be the same) injectors it should be fine.

 

thanks for the information.
on a different note how do you get a picture to show up in your messages?

 

Here are fuel pressure ratings.

1993 Dodge Dakota Manual 31psi, 39 with no vacuum.

1995 Dodge Dakota Manual (35-45 psi) at idle.
1995 Dodge Ram Manual (35-45 psi)

1996 Dodge Dakota Manual (49.2 psi ± 5 psi) at idle.
1996 Dodge Ram Manual (49.2 psi ± 5 psi).
2001 Dodge Ram Manual (49.2 psi ± 5 psi) at idle.

Thanks! I will be posting them up on my thread soon.

As for how to upload picture or videos here is a quick write up I did on it.

To upload pictures.

You can create a photo album on this site, Go to "User CP" (Control panel). Near the top of each page in the black strip.

Or you can do a 3rd party website like www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com and use the photo link that uses the [IMG] tags.

Or upload it to the post by going to the "Go Advance" post tab next to "post reply" at the bottom then to "Manage Attachments" near the bottom. Then "Browse". Find th picture on your computer files. Then Upload.

To upload videos create a www.Youtube.com account and upload, or use www.photobucket.com Then just copy and paste the video link.

 

thanks, i cant figure the thread one out, my computer didnt like the steps. BUT i have the beginning of an album, its called my dakota build, check it out!

 

My guess is you reached your limit. I think there is a limit depending on how many posts you post up, to keep spammers out.

My best suggestion is start a www.photobucket.com account. It is free.

I love the winch bumper! Looks bad A$$!
