Electric fuel pump for Dakota?
It is alot easier to change the pump by simply sliding the bed back rather than drop the tank or completley remove the bed. As far as pumps and quality go, we wont use an airtex pump at our shop becausr their quality has gotten so bad. We typically use the bosch or delphi pumps. We try to use parts that are factory such as motorcraft, ac delco etc...
And for the filter i know my 99 ram has an in tank filter.
If your having to cycle the key a few times to get pressure built up you might check your fuel pressure regulator and make sure its not allowing pressure to bleed back into the tank.
I dont know if your pump will come as just the pump or as an assembly but we get cars in every now and then that people think the pump or regulator is bad and it turns out the hose on the pump itself gets a hole in it and leaks the pressure off. So all we have to change is a short peice of hose in the tank and we have much happier customers :cheers:
