So I did the e fuel on my truck and when I'm running on the front take it takes about 10 sec to get up to 65psi but if I'm on my rear tank it comes up fine ...

Week pump ? Any ideas ?

I notice a slight drop in my front tank anywhere below 1/4 of a tank. I believe it is caused by the fuel pump being lower then or level to the fuel.

Because the back is high enough it gravity feeds and my Walboro hates pulling. I notice it when I change the filters the most.

There is a flapper valve about at the 1/8-1/4 level on the fuel pickup tube in case there is a blockage of the fuel pickup. Sometimes the flapper fails. You should pull the fuel sender/pickup assembly to check if the pickup has a blockage or the flapper valve is intact. The black plastic end on the fuel pickup is known to rot off also.
