Funny you should mention that, but that was exactly what my husband said to mention to you when you came back.
Over the years they had found that the 1996/1997's OEM's rubber fuel lines needed replaced a little sooner then other years. All of their company trucks of that year had to have those OEM lines replaced years ago. Our Dodge 2500 is a 1998 1/2, and he's not had those issues with it.
So, the pro would be to replace all the rubber fuel lines as SOON as it's convenient to do so.
The con is that you could be dealing with this issue until you replace all the lines. Hubby said to BE SURE and replace BOTH suction and return lines.
We'll be up for a bit if you have any more questions.
