    Look on the drivers fender well, there's a resistor there for the fuel pump that may be bad.

    Change my fuel pump, resistor, fuel pump relay, open circuit relay, EFI relay and my relays keep clicking.

    I ended up jumping the fuel pump circuit and open circuit and the truck starts and accelerate fine.

    Now my cruise control indicator blinks and ac compressor not coming on.

    Any suggestions?

    I have this same issue. It's feels like a slight stumble or misfire, typically when going up a hill at partial throttle, between 30-45mph. Did a google deep dive hoping it was the resistor, but a couple of posters on other said the only improvement came once they installed a new fuel pump. The resistor increases or decreases the voltage to the pump to make it spin faster or slower. Some pumps just don't behave well with at the lower voltage setting.

    Speaking of fuel pumps: Anyone have a good upgraded recommendation on a replacement new one?

    I saw DD Kieth had one on his site last year for our 1st Gens, but no longer there? It was on the same page as the fuel injectors.

    yep bank account is running low from it..
    Oem would be best walbro is a good one also.. I think when mine goes out I'm going to convert mine to outside(external) fuel pump for easier change outs and higher psi for bigger injectors..
