97 Dodge Ram 5.2 fuel pump
So I've posted here before about fuel pump issues and got good advice. Well I'm having issues again. I've checked all the electrical issues, fuses relays ext. I've found that fuse #3 in the pdc was the no power issue. Now I can hear pump running when key is in the on position to prime but no fuel. Crank motor no fuel. Pump was replaced 2 months ago. Airtex brand. So pump has power but not pumping fuel. Any ideas?

Airtex brand. There is the problem. I really don't care if they have a lifetime warranty, I don't like changing pumps, so I simply will not use ANY of their parts, nor will I recommend anyone else do so either. They suck. Their failure rate is right around 90% within six months. (at least, that has been my experience.) Get a Delphi, or Denso pump module. Spend more, replace it once, and don't worry about it again for another 150,000 miles or so. Or, if you like changing pumps, get another Airtex, and be right back where you are now in some random period of time. I have seen them fail as quickly as 10 miles..... I don't think I have EVER seen one last more than a year.
