Great job getting it done. 💪👍 we are glad to help. Good luck on your diy projects.

Honestly I don't prefer this way either. A buddy said this would be easier than dropping the tank... enjoy those times brother. I regret being a little punk kid and not helping my dad. I'm making up for it now tho. My dream it to make a small empire that the whole family can work side by side... dreams.... Thanks for the view. I wish you luck on your future projects. Keep us posted. Take lots of pictures with the kids wen you can and don't forget to get infront of the camera. One Love

I usually drop the tank to do this job but many people say its easier doing it this way. When I drop the tank I usually get the truck jacked off the ground and use a tranny jack for the tank. They are big, flat. And you can strap the tank to the jack. Now the weight will vary depending on the fuel level. If it's a empty tank it can weigh less than 20 lbs. Full tank about 50 to 60 lbs.

@@ScottiesHobbies Gallon of gas weighs 6.3 lbs so 20 gallons weighs about 120lbs plus the empty tank weight. I used 20 because we all know the pump will fail within days of filling your tank at the gas station just like mine did. It rarely fails with only a few gallons in it.

This is my sister's truck.. We probably replaced the fuel pump 3 or 4 months prior to this video being Uploaded. It was a aftermarket fuel pump. I think we had to replace the pigtail to the pump. I believe it came with the necessary parts. I believe we got it off rock auto.. That truck is still running strong today . It constantly drives between Reno and the Bay area.. The truck is now a College kids commuter. I always recommend getting OEM replacement if you can afford it.. But in this case the pump seems to be working just fine.

@@ScottiesHobbies thank you sir.

No problem. Good luck on your fix. Keep us posted on your progress. 💪🤞👍

Honestly... I was told it would be easier to do it this way. Prior to this change, I usually use a Tranny Jack to drop the tank. I always use a fuel transfer pump to empty the tank prior too. IMHO, Drop the tank.

I prefer dropping the tank.

@@ScottiesHobbies thnx for the reply. I paid to have it done in feb. It went out again yesterday so I plan on doing it myself this time. I recommend nobody buy the cheap $70 fuel pump on Amazon 😂

Good idea. Thanks for the view. Good job getting the job done.

I don't remember how old this vid is but this truck is still going on this pump. Make sure you don't buy cheap parts. A access hole would be much easier. Some cars have access holes under the rear seat.

Prolly would be easier but not worth tearing up my truck

So what happen to loosening up the ground strap

This job was so many moons ago. I am not 100% sure, but I usually pick up my nuts and bolts from my local Ace Hardware. They have a huge selection of specialty Nuts and bolts that help out a lot.

thanks!! Hopefully save some people time just with that. 👍

If fuel pump is right back under the cab the tank will need to be dropped enough to remove and replace pump. I saw another video of a ram p.u. where the guy did that and that is what needed to be done. I don't know why Ram did this. The pump should have been under the bed with a plate just need to unbolt and remove/replace fuel pump. But noooooo let's make the consumer take it to the dealership or a repair shop to pay extra money to have it done!!!

good luck with your project! Gotta love the time you get to spend with them while they still want to be Dads little helper.

Thank you!! If you google or youtube search: 'scotties hobbies ram fuel pump'. All 4 parts come up. But here is part 2: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNKFmreczLexcp8.htmlsi=UIjrn415qHrWX5L7

Thanks for the update. Good luck on your project. 👍

Not the greatest but I have a helper I was confident could get the job done. We just gotta take chances. Prior to the job we did a JSA and a Tail Gate Meeting to establish the hazards and potential risk. Good luck on your fix! Keep us posted on your progress.

I wouldn't doubt. This is a family members truck. Its been to hell and back more than once. This truck only gets maintenance attention when its too late. Lol. If you could see the back, its a little beat up. She got rear ended in Mexico, the 'cops' show up and she ends up having to pay the cops to not take the truck and the guy who hit her cuz the cops said it was her fault. But who takes a car to Mexico that they really care about Krazy? Especially with License plates on. Krazy!! Well needless to say, she came straight home and the truck is still beat up..... many moons later. Thanks for the view. Good luck on your fix!
