More news the shop working on my Dakota wanted to be sure it was the fuel pump so the last two days kept testing I guess the signal from the pump and the psi of the pump over and over again. Sure enough at times the pump just refused to work a very on off kind of problem thats exactly whats been going on an intermittent problem he said he video taped it to show me.

At $800 they better be correct.

 

Sucks that they're charging so much. I'd want to negotiate that. I keep wondering when mine will go out. It's almost at 300K now. I never let the tank run low, to keep it cool. Not sure how hard it is on these quad cabs, as I believe the gas tank is mostly (or all) below the cab.

 

Believe me I called around that’s the going rate $750 to $800.

I had a bad flu in February even today I'm having my own fluctuations with my heart and very low blood counts that drain my strength and I need two days bed rest to feel good with breathing difficulty thats up down.

I just cant do this hard physical stuff now until I get better.

 

I feel for ya, bud. Well for that price, make sure they are putting in a Mopar pump and not some Airtex junk. You don't want to be doing it again in a few years. Check here. Put in your VIN and make sure you know your fuel tank size.
