I have just started to notice that lately my truck is loosing fuel pressure while it idles in park or neutral and has warmed up. It drops to around 25-30 PSI, but goes right back up to 38-40 PSI when I start driving. I also noticed that with just key on ignition off I will only see about 25-30 PSI. I decided to check for codes even tho the CEL never came on and I saw codes P0171 and P0174 which I know mean bank 1 and 2 are running lean.

Does this mean its time for some new fuel pumps?

And what is a good replacement or should I just stick with the walbro 255s that are in there now?

How old is your fuel filter? Pump output pressure should be checked with the engine running and the vacuum reference line removed from the regulator, should be ~40 psi and then with the relay jumped should be 50.
