Mackpro Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 EUP pump codes are normal on 04 and up EGR engines, the extrem heat around the EUP's cause them to start to code sooner than they should. If the FMI of the code is 8 (abnormal frequency responce)I would drive it as this seems to be a common thing when cold . If it was mine I wouldn't change it till the code started coming active when the truck is hot. It might go a year or more with out failing. But some guys get nervous when that malfunction light is on and want to change it. We see trucks come in all the time with black tape over the EML (electronic malfunction light).

Those fuel supply pump have been known to go bad (plastic gear slips on steel shaft) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
