lol, funny i know guys but i have a weak pump i changed out for a customer it was pumping 56 pounds and those trucks need 62 or more just to start. so it works just weak.


Could i possibly wire it up and use it in my 5.0 just to start it and let it run a little bit? its been siting for 3 months now and i feel bad because its a bad ass motor and all is new in it. i don't want it to sit in my garage any longer cause maybe if i go to start it long time later it will start smoking and be weak.

pump is from a 98 Chevrolet Blazer 4.3L.



what do you guys think? i should be able to do it?

I would NOT do it. a high flow pump is only $100 bucks. I think stock is 98lph or something like that and a new stock pump is $100 or you can get a 155lph+ for $99 off summit. (Wetback) hooked it up. I wouldnt do it man. I think its a waste of time and a headache for $100 part.

i would order a $12 oil pump primer and turn the motor over by hand a few times
