New to this forum.Bought a 93 dually 7.3 IDI with Banks turbo.Was sitting a long time.Runs great but throws fuel filter light once in a while and has died several times.After changing filter it ran fine for weeks then same thing.I have read several threads and wanted advice on starting point.Should I eliminate lift pump and install electric,or start from the tanks?Starting to think it's the pickups after reading this.

What I did to mine was removed both tanks, install one large tank in the rear, install all new fuel lines and electric fuel pump, delete the water separator.

Start by ascertaining fuel flow and delivery.
Then lookup facett group buy...
Lookup air intrusion.
How/why does it die?

Filter light comes on and off.Loses prime.Original owner said he just pushed primer on filter until it filled from time to time.It will run great for a long time,then seems to clog or suck air periodically.
