To the best of my knowledge, LR "thought" they had fixed the noise coming from the rail. I however still suspect it is an issue. Ask Ski about the fix, he knows how to do it I believe. I saw his post too and saw that the pics were messed up. I am going to be getting another LR Billet Rail so I need this issue fixed, if it still there. The problem I had with the LR Rail was it would make a bit of a ticking noise (never went away. The unit I had was from late 2003, after they fixed the issue). This problem was present "before" I had ST install the #044 pump. And as I said, when we did install the pump it made a slight "tapping/clunking" noise coming from the back passenger side. If Im not mistaken, thats where the pump goes, right? So to me, these are unrelated issues. But that noise coming from the #044 pump is annoying as hell. Some people discribe it as a hum, whine, etc. Mine was a tapping/clunk sound. Sounded like crap.

Tom, if I get a chance this weekend to run the engine dyno. I will record the sound of stock pump & the 044 pump under running conditions. I doubt it'll be a tapping sound!

I have the lindsey rail and it makes the described sound, I also have 72lb. injectors, and the HV pump lindsey sells.
It took al ong time to figure out what it was, it seems to be from the SS lines on the rail and FPR up front.
It is not on time with the injectors, it might be on time with the pump. This was the hardest part in figureing it out.

Thanks pal

I can't hear my fuel pump over my gearbox, differential, exhaust, and wastegate. So as long as one of those is functioning I can't hear the damn thing.
Moral of the story is that if you complain about fuel pump noise then I hope you have tidy slippers to drag your old feet around with. Ones that are tall enough to keep your ***** off the cold pavement.
