You could also use some silicone chalk to keep water from the fuel pump. Good job!

Fuck ya thanks buddy 7years later and here I am doing it to my 97 !

Is that an extended cab

bless you brother! i have a leak in one of the lines and its gotta be replaced. angle grinder instead of sawzall?

One wrong spark… 🎉 boom

LMAO I'm a retired mechanic and you don't know how many of these I've done over the years and I've seen a lot of different ways to replace a pump but this has to be the coolest. I have a 91 and my pump just went out, I can't believe already, I know it hasn't been over 20 years since I put the last one in.HA. Anyway I have a youngster who is gung ho on doing this job so I think I will show him the tilt bed method just so he can say he has done one that way. Cheers. p.s. I love the price of the new pumps nowadays, 37 bucks for the whole thing. What a deal.

My 1996 jerks when I decelerate have anyone had this problem and same with the rpm drooping and the vehicle turning off and the hard start

You’re awesome!! Great video

Thank you I'm glad this can be done this is great solution!

Keep in mind if you have the 34 gal tank the pump is about 6-8inches closer to the tailgate… had to make two cuts. Oh well!

I have the stepside version and the bed is skinnier, so I had some trouble trying to find the measurements. 4.5, and 13 inches from the front. 3 inches and 20.5 from the left sidewall. It worked perfectly I just used an angle grinder

Wish mine was under there because mine was under the cab in between the cab and the bed basically 🙃

Did you put a hinge?

Dude, I'm definitely doing this. I have a problem somewhere from the tbi to the gas pump. So fuck it. I might make a couple access points on the bed...just in case I have to fuck with something else, and possibly gain a better angle. On what you might ask. IDK, and I don't give a shit. GM should've made it on every single vehicle. Good shit man. Thank you

great job thanks for sharing

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the tip

Bro are you constantly running your truck below a quarter of a tank ? Because fuel is the only thing that keeps them liberated. So always try to keep it above a quarter of a tank.

Heck yeah. Good job. 👍. Who cares what they think. If they say anything. An don’t want u to do that. Tell them to go out an do if for ya. If not tell em to keep their pie hole shut Ugot this

I did a fuel pump in my 96 silverado. I had access to a hoist and such but, If I have to do it again I will do this. Thanks.

I have a regular 1996 regular cab / long bed. Would the measurements be the same? Thanks!

I think it's 4 bolts and you can raise the bed up and over enough to replace the fuel pump. I got that advice from a brother in law that is a certified Chevrolet and Toyota mechanic. Dropping the tank insane, cutting a hole like this is ridiculous.

Good stuff

Is this a short bed? Long bed? Extended cab? I have a 1991 short bed with extended cab.

I like your idea, much faster than dropping the stinking tank.

I've never seen the hinge and hasp idea before. Brilliant!

I wish they would have come this way from the factory

what brand pump did you purchase

The reason a lot of pumps go out is a bad fuel filter restricting the flow, I’ve never had problems but have always changed fuel filters on time, have had many Chevy trucks from 1989 to 2011 ,Bought a older Chevy lately and the pump was making noise, sure enough,took the filter of and could barley blow through it .

Does a 98 have same measurements ?

Great video, just replaced oem lines from the throttle body to the filter, 94 gmc k1500 4x4 5.7 Suggestions by others for access door are great as well. My suggestion: Edit your description to share the dimensions. While in the bed behind the cab, from the drivers side, measure 11" then to the right mark 29 1/2". Then from the back side of the bed (behind the cab) measure 4 1/2" then 13" for the corners of your access door. Follow the video. Thanks for making this, I'm restoring my truck. 180k original miles 2 owner.

Can't trust someone who does this to your vehicle.

I got a utility body so the measurements won't work for me 😢

Man I know this is a old video but did u figure out y your pump kept going out? U said goes out ever 20 minutes lmao but that's basically way mine is in the past 4 months I've put 5 pumps in and the 5th one went out today I replaced just the pump the first 3 times then whole assembly next 2 times every time I replace it it lasts 2 to 4 weeks I literally carry a spare pump so I can replace them on the side of the road and yes I have a hole cut in my bed for convenience every time I replace the pump I replace the sock and filter on the frame I have swapped fuel pump relays a couple times no change I haven't had the tank down but looking inside it looks pretty clean from what I can tell and the sock always looks clean did u just keep putting pumps in until one lasted? I've been getting them at oreilys imma try autozones this time it's under warranty at oreilys but think imma ask for a refund and get a different brand I don't let it get under a quarter tank jw if you just replaced them until u got a good one or did u figure something else out?

Thank you for a great idea I have to replace my pump in a 1994 k1500 this will make my life a lot easier .

Thanks for thinking of the measurements! My 96 Chevy pump just went out last week, and I was not gonna drop the tank, cause it's a pain and on top of that it went out just after filling up while at the gas station and had to be pulled home from there. Lol! 🥴

Thank bunches

Genius! Foreal. 👌

I know it’s been a couple of years on this vid but would the dimensions be the same on a 98 c1500 I’m like the guy I don’t give a shit lol if someone could get back to me that would be great thanks

Doing this tomorrow my fuel pump is on its way out engine sputtering like crazy won’t let me pass 2k rpm lol

Thanks I used your measurements and turns out the fuel pump is down about 3-4” 🙄 instead of 13 should have been 17” but who knows I’m gonna assume you have a short bed. You should put that in your title what size bed

thanks

Tks for the measurement was very helpful o my Chevrolet 95

11”- 20 1/2 or 29 1/2? Then 4 1/2 and 13?

what are the measurements for a ext cab full size bed

How it should have been engineered in the first place. Stupid people with degrees made that mess . Nice work.

Well here it is middle of January in Idaho, and mine just went out. This will be my fourth one. I replaced the factory electrical pigtail the last time, and I got several years out of it. I believe a bad electrical connection at the factory pigtail was the main reason these things were going through so many fuel pumps. Anyhow, I'm in I don't give a shit mode on this one and doing it your way. I lifted the damn bed off my pickup the last three times by myself, and I'm done with that. Thanks for your video, and the measurements!

I've got a diagram from what you cut yours out to see if my measurements are right. okay the bottom of the driver's side 29 and 1/2 across. From the back of the bed down was 4 1/2 inch go down 13inchs. I'm doing this on a 98 Chevy k 1500 extended cab. I hope the measurements will work thanks for any help.

i was really tempted to do this but i couldn't bring myself to do it.. lol. pulled the tank and swapped it yesterday. freezing hahah

Nice! I did same thing and dont give a shit either lol, great video
