Re: trouble starting

Welcome to the world of sy/ty ownership! I know the feeling dude... Trust me a 255 walbro is a must have upgrade and should be a must do as soon as you by one of these trucks.

Re: trouble starting

1 psi per minute isn't terrible but isn't normal either. Regardless you should have a walbro installed. Order the sy/ty walbro pump/kit from racetronix. I have a cheap walbro knock-off pump with an install kit I will sell cheap. Its used but works...

Good deal... I recomend the hot wire kit as well. That pump was melting wires and fuses before I installed the hot wire kit. It draws more current than the factory wires are designed for.

x2. My pump went at about 42k. Any truck running a stock (factory) pump WILL need a new one eventually.

you didn't break anything... the pumps go bad in these trucks. Almost all of us have had a fuel pump go bad and quit working or get weak. That probably has a lot to do with your truck running lean and the detonation you hear. Change it, you wont regret it..

pumps are very common to go bad. They are an electric motor that is constantly pumping and they get hot.... If anything you're doing a reliability as well as a performance mod.

it's not that bad to change, just change it yourself rather than paying a shop another $300. Either drop the tank or tilt the bed and you can get to the top of the gas tank.. it's not too bad to do

How many SyTy's has he owned? ;)

Have him log on to SyTy.net to get schooled. It's one of those parts that will fail in these trucks 99% of the time. Tranny, starter, ABS unit, just to name a few others. (for Dad)

Re: trouble starting

My Typhoon as the exact same symptoms. First crank (when cold) does nothing, but second crank it fires right up. First crank could be for 1 second or 10 seconds....doesn't matter. I can't figure out why a second crank after a 1 second crank will work, but first crank for 10 seconds won't work.

First crank when hot fires right up.

My check valves holds 43 psi for several minutes (never saw a drop) after i turn the key off.

new battery, all new ignition components (plugs, wires, cap, coil). New fuel filter.

fuel pump is stock to my knowledge. 91k miles.

Any feedback from OP?
