2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission did my lift pump die?

[Cowboy Medic]

changed fluids yesterday (oil and coolant), put on some new shocks. get ready to take her out afterward and try her out and she runs for about five minutes and dies. Not been a problem ever before, always run like a champ. start looking around and see that the fuel/water drain is open a bit. Think oops , just pulled in some air. closed that tried cranking to see if she would prime, no luck, So I crack the first injector open and crank again, still no fuel after doing that a few times. go back to the fuel/water seperator and there is still no fuel in it. so I check the lift pump, it cycles, put my hand on it and can feel it running, but no fuel coming through? Not sure what to check next. I need help.

Open the drain, bump the starter, still no fuel coming out, I would suspect lift-pump, or your outta fuel.

ok, so the lift pump is dead, I should be able to get it replaced under warranty, right? I have 78,000 miles on it.

You should be able to get it under warrenty, I have heard that the lift-pump is NOT covered under the 100,000 mile warrenty, depends on which dealer I guess. I had mine replace at 50,000 miles, and I got a little guff about the pusher pump, but in the end, they replaced it. Thanks to the local dealer, for their cooperation!

Well, I am in southern MN right now, the town of Blue Earth to be exact and don't know anything about the local dealers so if anyone can point me towards a good one I would appreciate it
