Believe it or not, the gas in the tank keeps the pump cool...when you continuously run the tank low, the pump begins to overheat and causes premature failure. Your truck is a 04..iirc, the fuel filter is in the tank. if so, i'd definitely change it when you're replacing the pump. You'd be suprised how much harder the pump has to work due to the filter being clogged.
crap.

I remember seeing pics of a factory pump where the hose from the pump to the fitting got a pinhole in it and and created lean issues. I've noticed that my vacuum gauge goes down 1 mm/hg when I get to a 1/4 of a tank also, and the truck isn't as peppy....or wasn't as peppy lol.
