The low side fuel pump is the same design and is still controlled by the PCM through the FPDM; it never turns off. The PCM only adjusts the duty cycle using the FPDM based on demand. The engine will only run for a few seconds if the fuel pump turns completely off because there will be no fuel volume.
Having upgraded my one and only fuel pump on my Gen 1, I know how the system works.
You have a fuel pressure regulator/sensor at the fuel rail on the engine, a fuel pump driver module by the gas tank and finally the fuel pump it's self.
Now both Livernois and the SVT tech that install my 750 HP fuel pump upgrade said, the PCM will cycle the pump on and off via the fuel pump driver.
This happens quickly you can't notice it, while the engine is running.
Now if they changed the fuel delivery on the Gen 2 that's fine.
In the unfortunate circumstance that something happens to my Gen 1 and need a new truck, I want learn all I can about the Gen 2.
So, are still saying there are two pumps, one in the tank and one up at the engine?
And don't misunderstand me, I'm not starting anything I just want to learn.
