Alright, I have a 1997 3.9L Dak. The other day
when I went to start the engine, it ran real rough
and died out. Then I started to diagnosis the
problem I found the fuel pump wasn't turning on.
So I climbed under the truck and beat the hell out
of the pump. I turn the key and heard the pump
kick on and then the truck started just fine, but
it still ran real rough kinda like only firing on
a couple cylinders. then today the pump quit
working and again I hit it a few time and it
started up. The problem is the truck is misfireing

the truck is firing right because it doesn't have the proper fuel pressure

change the damn pump

or better yet rig a hammer on a swing arm and pull chain so you don't have to climb under to beat on it any more!

8 bolts for the box, 3 screws from the goose neck, a couple snips
for some tie wraps, remove some wiring for the tail lights, a case a
beer with some buddies.....priceless!!
remove your box to access the fuel pump......its so much easier!!!
