I just broke 135K
I'm starting to worry a bit because I'm starting to feel a difference in performance and I'm seeing it at the pump also. It's weird but it's like I'm dragging an anchor or something. I just did a tune up and changed the plugs and it helped some but it just isn't like it use to be.

Hmm....
I started to feel this @ 200k. Then, I thought it was something simple like my header and race exhaust. Sitting at long stop lights; it seem like it wanted to stall but doesn't. Dumped the exhaust: still rough idle and stalled ONCE. Got rid of the header: smoother & quicker acceleration. Still idles rough and MPG drops slightly when driving mostly city. The rough idling is in the rear: fuel pump is slowly going bad. Only stalled four times (knock on wood)! Once its been run for 30 minutes; it will drive like new.
Have a new OEM and getting it installed next week. I hope it makes it go away!
If not, fuel pump is off the list of future repairs. lol

Yeah fuel pump could actually be a good thing to change whether it needs it or not. I do have header and full Skunk 2 exhaust. I might be changing the header soon for a different after market.
