Dead Dog Inc.. Zack Lake's 'SWING AND A MISS' wind picked up during the video but the message was clear.. dont adjust a shot that doesnt need it.. We called this yote in from a little over a mile away so i had that goin for me... Bullet went right where i was aiming... oh well, good hunters know its better to miss than it is to wound... thanks for watching
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.
Once you're keeping plenty of fuel in the tank, then this modification isn't necessary.
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.
4 bolts ? You don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Let's see... A 10 minute job verses hours .
Good stuff
Is this a short bed? Long bed? Extended cab? I have a 1991 short bed with extended cab.
My question too
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 .
The fuel filter wasn’t ever the problem, I changed mine a few times when I had the truck I think it was mainly the wife driving it short distances and always below 1/4 of a tank… but who knows !
Does a 98 have same measurements ?
Going through my comments it looks like it does? Have you tried it yet ?
@@Deaddoginc1 no not yet. I cant seem to find a measurement chart for a 98. Im a lil scared to do it until i get some kind of confirmation lol
@@chrisd5598 I don’t blame you it’s not something we can undo lol I guess unless you just make a bigger hole but I wouldn’t
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.
To each their own, sir or ma’am ..
It's my vehicle,I'll do as I please.
I got a utility body so the measurements won't work for me 😢
I’m sorry, mine was for the 6’ bed I took some heat because I didn’t have the sizes for the other beds, what do you do these days… good luck to you !
@@Deaddoginc1 it's all good I got it done. I just used ratchet straps to lift it back.
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?
I never figured out why, I don’t know if they have a bad wire set up somewhere, there was a bunch of running it around on 1/8 to 1/4 of a tank except for when it would actually go out, then if would be on a fill up day, I just went with the most expensive one I could get in hopes that for some reason it was made better than the others, after that video it still runs to this day as a trap wagon in a wheat field.
@@Deaddoginc1 I noticed that it's always on a fill up day like u said it has never once went out when fuel was low it's always been within like 50 miles of a fill up I'm glad your trucks doing good I put a AutoZone pump assembly in it last time it's holding up good so far but if those have problems think I'll do like you said you did and get a really good brand appreciate the video I didn't think vortecs were as bad in pumps as they r after watching your video I googled a forum alot of ppl r doing the same wondering y their pumps go out all the time lol
Bad fuel filter restricting the flow burns out pump , fuel filter drivers side on the frame underneath
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! 🥴
Well hopefully this helps you out ! Good luck every time I did it it was over half full soooooo annoying
Thank bunches
Genius! Foreal. 👌
Hope it helped !
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
I think someone said something about it in one of the comments, mine was an extra cab with the 6 foot bed
Doing this tomorrow my fuel pump is on its way out engine sputtering like crazy won’t let me pass 2k rpm lol
Did it work ?
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
I didn’t have those, but I believe there is someone on here that commented with the measurement
How it should have been engineered in the first place. Stupid people with degrees made that mess . Nice work.
Thank you hope it helps!
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!
No problem! Glad it helped !
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.
As far as I know it should work, mine was a 6’ bed on an extended cab
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
I feel your pain! My problem was mine went out a few times and I was just over it, the bolts underneath were rusted, just didn’t want to go round 3 with dropping the tank!
Nice! I did same thing and dont give a shit either lol, great video
