i would remove pump from tank and jumper wire directly to the fuel pump, if the pump starts it's still good and you have a power or ground problem. But only connect it long enough to whir

----------

I truly doubt the fuel pump itself is bad

I took the fuel pump out and wired it straight to the battery and put it in a bucket of water it started pimping like a charm! But I don't know of you read the part where my truck has killed 7, my fuel tank is not dirty, fuel lines aren't clogged, new fuel filter, new pressure regulator, it has to still be an electrical problem damaging the fuel pumps, this one has quit working twice since Sunday and 7 others have dies since December

I would like to cross it out lol but I still think is has to be electrical some where because fuel pumps don't just kill themselves 1-3 days after install

that test was to prove that the pumps aren't being killed, you however still have a power or ground problem.

The pumps are good you just think they are bad because they stop working. Due to a bad connections or bad wiring

x2 on this.

If your pump worked in that bucket your clearly not 'cooking' them. Seems to me they just stop working and you assume its bad...7 or 8 times. By that point you've got to notice it's clearly something with the feed wiring.

STOP buying pumps!

eventually they do completely stop. But I've tried everything in the wiring. Grounded it at several different spots, checked all the wiring and all

What's the resistance on the fuel pump wires up at the relay?

Take any resistance measurements at all to verify the wiring and/connections are good?
