WTF. with how it intermittently goes from normal to terrible it has got to be the wiring with that switch right? i checked voltage and one of the wires was only getting about 8v versus some of the others getting right around 12. if i just replace that connector i dont know if it'll fix the problem. plus, the only one of those connectors i could find online, amazon says it doesnt fix my truck but it looks like the right one.

im running it on one tank, bought the whole thing new with a pump assembly already installed. i think its gotta be something with the wiring on the switch, im just not sure.
