The truck has a 2.3L with no p/s or ac. I don't

think it's coming from the ignition due to no

change in the noise during acceleration. When
the ignition is turned to the on position you can
here the electric fuel pump come on and quite.
I am quite shure of the pump being my

problem. My question is this. If I just replace

the fuel pump would the new one be quiet you
think? I'm guessing that the fuel pump is

originally the one that came with the truck.


Unplug the coax. If the noise goes away it's your antenna, but this
problem is a bit notorious of Ford trucks. Sometimes replacing the pump
works, sometimes it doesn't. There are various methods used to fix this
problem and just as many opinions. Sometimes inline filters work. There
have been aftermarket pumps installed meeting with some success.

Yea, when I unplug the antenna the noise goes away completely. I have
only used one antenna on the truck since I bought it like 6 months ago.
I put on a Wilson 500. I didn't have this type of noise in the cavalier
that blowed up on me. I believe I will try a new fuel pump to see what
that will do, I don't think I'll try the capacitor until last resort do
to the fact I'm pretty good at screwing up. The cb was talking threw the
car stereo at first. I bought a little noise filter for like a stereo
that went on the power line and cleaned the grounding place real good.
Lucky I guess that that problem seemed to go away. What do you think of
the idea that perhaps cleaning the ground up real good for the fuel
pump? All I almost forgot about the wipers. If I need the wipers I just
turn off the cb the noise is so bad. Up in the red. Any experience
dealing with a similar problem like this before?

Dorfs are notorious for brush noise in the system from their electric
motors. It's just like TV interference from vacuum cleaners or kitchen
appliances. About the only way to eliminate the noise is by putting a
filter cap on every offending motor. Or swap the truck for an S10 or
Dakota.

If you unplug the antenna... and the noise goes away... that doesn't
mean it's the antenna that's causing your problem!

It damn sure means the source of noise is coming through the antenna or
coax feedline and eliminates the fuel pump as the source of the noise.
