I am not sure why you are posting a Chevy problem on a Audi forum. However, if you want to use an external pump in your truck it can be done but it need quite a bit of work. The internal pump will act as a restrictor and should either be removed, or the check valve blown open and destroyed with compressed air. Otherwise you can also add a new outlet on the fuel tank. The new pump will need to be designed for fuel injection and provide the proper pressure for your configuration. The return line, if used, will have to be retained. The best solution, and not that hard with a truck, is to drop the fuel tank and replace the internal pump.

 

You can get a used one, and it should be plug-n-play. Make sure you replace the tank rubber gasket w/ new one and fuel filter too.

 

I want to say i have this problem and my trusted mechanic used the plug and play yo want to replace the tank rubber gasket and fuel filter too.
