Default Possible Fuel Pressure Regulator Issue?

Starting a thread because I can't seem to get the search button to work. Is a fuel pressure regulator on an 04+ in the tank as part of the fuel pump assembly? I'm noticing right at start up my turck smells like it's running rich. Don't have a wideband on it so I don't have any numbers. Tomorrow I'm going to check for vacuum leaks and fuel pressure. Anything else I should check?

You shouldn't need to replace anything. they all run rich at start up. Its normal. I wouldn't worry about it. If a regulator was going out your truck would either run like crap or not run at all.
