I have yet to trip it out wheeling, I've jumped and bounced off trees/rocks, the only time it's ever tripped was when my buddy rear-ended me in his fullsize Bronco.

From reasearching this, apparently there is an Inertia Switch ON the fuel pump itself. Do you hear the pump run at all when turning the key on?

Found the problem! We took the fuel tank out to get to the pump. So what happened was, theres a tube in the pump itself, and that tube broke in the middle. So we just bought a whole pump for 50 bucks cuz cudn't just find the little tube itself.
