I laughed way harder than I should have at Ray giving the speech on using the hammer and chisel to remove the locking ring on the pump, then using the air chisel and the bit flying off when the ring came loose.
Same! That was classic.
Almost lost some coffee up my nose, not gonna lie.
I bout lost the sip of drink just with the intro. I just was NOT expecting that lol. The car peanut saga continues! Does he eat it? I haven't watched that far yet! I'm sure il laugh my arse off at this part too.
@@hesatwitchyone Well, I guess you just have to watch the whole thing to find out what happens to Mr Car Peanut! 🤣
Spoiler: This whole video was pure gold.
Dude! Spoiler alert that Ray was right about the fuel pump from the beginning! But I will be on the lookout for it, thanks. :)
i was wondering why ray was following peoples suggestions
acting like others no more than him lol
After having the fuel pump go out on my 1999 Silverado, and paying my local mechanic ~$700 to fix it, this video explains why it cost as much as it did.
Years ago, I bought a 96 Chevy that spent most of its life in the rust belt. When the fuel pump went out, I took one look at the tank strap bolts, then pulled out my Sawzall and cut an access hole in the bed. 🤣
Permanent access plate!
@@d5operthe box removal is the way to go. No hack saw option
Contractors top not so easy
My SAT I took in high school said I should be a mechanic. Not many girls did that in the ‘70s so I became a people mechanic, aka a nurse. But the way Ray works totally fascinates me. He was a lifesaver when I was going through chemo last year. He could make me laugh and forget about my cares. Thanks, Ray❣️
These have been a grind for me lately. Ive been in the hospital with a broken jaw. You sir, are a miracle worker on vehicles and i thank you for making this channel!
Hope your jaw heals quickly!
Thanks man! Two plates later to hold it together, been in the hospital for nearly 3 days
Dang that sounds horrible. Hope you have a speedy and pain free recovery.
Maybe Rainman should have a look at that jaw,,feel better soon.
Hope you heal well.
This is why this dude is one of my favorites. He’s willing to show his trials and tribulations, problems, even when he fucks up. Then when he asks for help or sees someone get hurt he actually cares and takes the time to show concern. This is the type of person I wish I had as a co-worker or even my boss. At my current job we all make sure we’re all fine and dandy like today I had to help our mechanic do axles on a Honda Odyssey and he fucked up his finger real good when we were sliding the lower ball joint back in, like should PROBABLY have stitches but we ended up just wrapping it and continuing on, he’s a damn trooper. First thing I did was hang on that lower control arm and made sure he was free, if stuck, but he want. We all in this field we all gotta keep an eye on each other.
Pro Tip from 35 years experience,
When using the hook tool to work hoses loose like you did on this fuel filler hose, once you have the tool under the hose, spray some WD40 or similar into the small opening you've created with your hook tool between the hose and filler neck and then finish breaking the hose loose.
It will come off much easier and will likely save a skinned knuckle or two.
Great vids, keep up the good work!
I always use a little lube on end of pick hook back in the day also 👊🏻it was usual white grease
@@skydust1269 I’m right here waiting for when you come back with the update for how all the hinges in your house squeak again. WD-40 is not a good choice as a lubricant
Rubbing alcohol works great too 👍
Hardly believe Ray's unaware of these useful tweeks. Everything that's stuck into Something......
Goes in easier with abit of lube.
Just remember your last prostate exam !
@@jameslastname9171 WD is for quick fixes only. Some hinge pin grease is the way to go.
Real hinge pin grease is made from Rhino horn, Elephant tusks and gorilla hands.
Some day the world will run out.
Look forward to a world of deafening squeaks.
Ok, yeah, Vaseline would work just as well.
I’m truly jealous of you being able to just zip a fuel tank strap bolt out with an impact. Up here in Michigan, they break. Almost always. It’s such a pain dealing with rust!
All the bolts snap the hangers are like corn flakes.
Same here in PA.
and here to in the UK
@@braderzjamez3197 you guys use salt too?
I moved from white lake Michigan to central Florida almost 4 years ago now. I fully agree with your pain there. Lol
A whole shelf of brake cleaner. Almost enough for one of Ray's repairs. :)
On my Chevy I pulled bed bolts, disconnected fill line, removed rear bumper, disconnected lights, removed rear wheels and slid bed back 18 inches to get to fuel pump from the top. After seeing this I think I did it the easier way.
It's all about how rusty your under-body bolts are.
A sunbelt vehicle ends up a lot different from a snowbelt vehicle.
Did my F150 the same way. Except for removing the wheels. That didn't occur to me. But three of us just lifted the bed and moved it back just far enough to access the tank. But my 87 Suburban? Holy crap. That thing had the optional 40-gallon. Talk about heavy!
I also took my bed off for a fuel pump replacement. so much easier, especially with a lift lol
You know you live in the rust belt when all you keep thinking is man the rockers are in like new condition so is the rest of the truck .i’m super jealous living in ontario canada
Hahahahaha I was thinking damn that thing is clean for the year and miles. Then read this comment 👍🏼 far north myself
Yep, Minnesota is the same way! However, there are places that use more salt.
Same here my rockers cab corners and bottom of the doors are trashed with rust
Same. They lay the salt down here so thick sometimes it’s like driving down a gravel road. Cars here don’t last long and I can’t justify paying much for a vehicle that’ll be a rolling pile of iron oxide in 20 years.
We have guns and freedoms. Hows your jealously now?
Ray is becoming my Spirit Animal. May the brake clean be with you! 🤤
I just love how he “flashes” it on the camera and plays that noise. I laugh out loud every time!😂
I much rather loosen all the bolts on left side of the bed and hinge it up and change the fuel pump , but it was fun watching you do it thanks for the video…
Heck, he's got a 2 post lift, so just pull it off. Totally a 1 man job. Agree 100%
Every night my wife and I settle down for the night and turn on Rays latest video. We love it. Thanks Ray!
I am perpetually amazed at the number of bits and pieces, bolts, washers, hoses, clamps, brackets, connectors etc. that have to be accounted for before the job is done. Solid explanation of the value of experience, and why repairs cost what they do. Especially amazing considering the number brands and models you are presented with.
I had a farmer bring his truck in for a pump. I told him the quickest cheapest way to change the pump was to cut an access hole in the box floor. He said he didn't really want to make a mess of the floor. I started working on it and saw that the box was about half full of hay and twine and junk. I took a shovel and cleaned out the box. In the junk I found his 3/4 socket set, 2 hammers and a 24 inch pipe wrench. Cut the hole and changed the pump in record time. screwed a piece of tin over the hole and pushed the hay and junk back. job done!
I've replaced roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 or so fuel pumps during my tenure as a mechanic and except for old fashion mechanical fuel pumps the only way I ever removed the locking ring was with a hammer and my medium snap-on prybar, and I never once blew up or if I did I don't remember doing so.
Probably don't remember because you were unconscious from the explosion.😀
Same here, usually an older, worn, long straight blade screwdriver, but same results! 👍
@@douglasburnside That might explain why my ears has a constant ringing in them 🤣
Happiness is not only a new Rainman Ray video but also finding out that it is 50 minutes long.
Thanks Ray!
I have watched your videos for a while now. Long enough to know that you always go the extra mile for your customers. I wish all mechanics were like you.
@@Aviation.Safety. WHY are you watching then? Don’t go away mad, just GO AWAY!! NO ONE wants or needs your negativity!!! 🤦♀️
Well Ray, apart from the usual "gravity" stuff, the fuel tank gravity was a first! Well done on the diagnosis and repair though.
I used my motorcycle jack with a plank laid across it the last time I changed a fuel pump. No surprises.
I remember when 2 bolts on the side of the block held the fuel pump in. Took ten or fifteen minutes.
Yessss!
Those fancy mechanical fuel pumps. What were they thinking 🤣
I'm impressed you got the camera up there to show plugging the electrical connectors back in but your doing by feeling
I can see why you’re a GMC/Chevy fan. They love you.🤣 You’re a great mechanic and your problem solving skills are great.
Years ago I worked with a guy who's dad had a handicap van with a side wheel chair lift. I was having fuel pump problems so he took it to a gas station mechanic to have the pump changed.
The mechanic put the van on the lift and raised it. He got out his tools attached the shop light to the bottom of the van and proceeded to remove the tank.
My friends dad sitting in his wheelchair nearby told the mechanic, "You better support that tank because its over half full". The mechanic replied back, "No, I got this. I can support it with my free hand"
It was at that point the tank found gravity and capitulated to its force. As the tank was complying with gravities command it snag the shop light cord on the way to Terra Firma.
The tank hit the ground fill tube end first regurgitating a large amount of gas on the shop floor quickly followed by the shop light hitting the ground and breaking.
The filament from the bulb ignited the spilled gas and it burned that Mobile gas station to ground.
Rahman Ray I love how you talk and explain everything as you do the repair. Even when difficult problems arise during the repair. Great at teaching.
And Ray can talk while he works.
He can even chew chewing gum and work at the same time. A real multi tasker
I just cut a flap in the floor to get mine out, easy job, worked great, as long as you know where the pump is and measure it right
Ray love the story when you were a youngster. I did a transmission service I put all the AT fluid in thought I was done and then I noticed I forgot to put the o ring on the filter. 🤦🏻♂️
When I saw the air hammer pop on screen you got an audible cheer from me. Love it! 🤣
You need an endless ratchet strap. They work great to hold things like fuel tanks to a transmission jack. Available on Amazon.
There is nothing like an American Mechanical mind...you are a treasure Ray.....fading into the ethos..thanks for what you do!!!!
I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to post your detailed work in video format. I am not a professional mechanic but I have done some of my own work by learning from guys like you. Thank you again. By the way, the phone's ringing...doo, dee, doo, dee, doo!! haha
Never replaced a fuel pump on a Chevy but recently did my Ford F-150. Taking the bed off was about a 15 min job. 6 torx bolts and a couple of electrical connections. Boom Done!
I have this exact truck (2006) with 80K more miles. The body on this one looks to be in good condition yet mine has rusted out rockers, hood, gas filler door, tailgate (which was so bad had to replace last year) and the wheels are all rust. On the other hand my interior looks brand unlike this truck.
Amazing what different climates do to vehicles.
Ray, I've never been a professional mechanic, but have bent wrenches on cars, boats and airplanes for 60+ years and continue to do so. Why? Because with a cup of coffee in hand my morning is started with your videos. I learn so much and gain extra patience from watching you to see myself through the tough jobs. Yesterday I spent 5 hours laying on a deck, with my head at a odd angle to see through the opening under the deck to feed hose, attach clamps, and properly hook up electrical wiring, all with one hand. I hurt like hell this morning, but the install is good and done-thank you Ray.
Yeah, same here, spent 2 days changing out a rear exhaust manifold on a 23 year old V6 Camry that lived only in the salt belt. I just kept at it and after all was said and done I had saved $700 easy, which is always a nice feeling. 😌
Did this job on my son's truck in the driveway. After weighing the pros/cons we sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster and after a cup of coffee we took the bed off. So much easier.
Brass chisel and brass hammer would be ideal for the tank components as brass doesn't spark...
Even just any brass bar, rod, or large brass bolt would even work if no brass chisel is handy.
Yep. You can use a brass punch with a regular hammer. The hammer on the brass punch won't spark. The brass punch on the steel ring won't spark.
There's no fumes and no fuel to speak of outside the tank, and the bay doors are open.
Pro Tip from 22 years experience,
Stay late in the shop and stuff a clean rag into the telephone horn to reduce the do de do from the shop phone alert.
Hey Ray. I'd like to thank you for the good vibes and energy that you provide with each repair video. It has helped me build up enough determination to start fixing things on my old Opel. Greetings from Romania!
Bring back nightmares or changing out fuel pumps on Blazers I had. Parts stores never gave me the correct one first visit 😒
Another way to prevent sparks is to use a piece of brass round stock in place of the steel chisel. I've got some 1/4" and 1/2" brass rods that are also useful for hammering or beating on steel parts if you want to whack them with something softer than another piece of steel.
As a home gamer who does the odd brake job and the odd oil change.....I love the way you use brake clean to do everything! Great stuff!
In the rust belt, wires need to be tested for the ability to carry current. You can read voltage but when a lot a is applied, voltage drops to close to zero.
A one or two amp light and pigtail is a cheap load tester.
Dan--As a Power Plant Worker, you learn that Voltage to a Component does not mean that it will carry current, in the Rust Belt, Corrosion Complicates the Flow of Electrons to a Great Degree sometimes...
Test light
@@gregjohnson2073 Test light don’t draw enough amperage. Best make yourself multiple test lights with different amperage draws👍
@@phillipdewitt4454 how many amps does a test light draw?
I have a 92` Chevy C2500 broke down in the middle of nowhere, ended out going back with a new pump, 12-120volt Inverter, I cut a rectangular opening with a 4 1/2" grinder in the truck bed over the pump and was easy from there with basic tools.
Thanks Ray for posting as often as you do, makes me feel like I am right beside you on your repairs!
Ray, thank you for this one. My 2005 Yukon XL is in the shop now because the canister thingy messed up and most of its guts are floating around in the gas tank. I was going to pull it out myself but now that I see what is involved (especially needing a lift of some sort to assist with getting it out, which I don't have) I'm glad I'm trusting it to my mechanics.
Love watching you working on vehicles like mine with the same steps needed to make all kinds of repairs. Costs less to repair than to replace with a new vehicle these days.
I've put three pumps in and each time used two screw drivers to remove the ring. Hasn't blown up yet.
I'm lucky. I have a Mazda Tribute with a nice little door under the back seat that gives me access to the pump. Why other manufacturers can't do this is beyond me. 👍
$$$$ in labor fees
This was the same amount of headache I had pulling the tank out of my 2004 Colorado, makes me feel a bit better that I encountered the same grief that the pros deal with. Great video!
Love your work, but just 2 comments. Judging by the blueing on that chisel, it looks like its been on a grinder, that's a no no, you should sharpen a chisel with a file. When you blew the top of the tank for the second time, all the lines with open ends were facing you. hope no dirt was blown into them.
Had an older Chevy truck that needed fuel pump replaced. At home , no lift , no help. Since it was just an old clunker and had a slide in bedliner, I slid bedliner out and used a cutoff wheel and cut a " hatch " in the bed to access the pump. Actually put hinges on it before putting the bedliner back in.
Just be glad you are not having to replace the frame cross members. Normal procedure here in the rust belt of Iowa. I am pretty sure that GM designed these things to disintegrate before a fuel pump could ever wear out.
GM I have found are master's of planned obsolescence. Don't miss them or Ford's and Dodges.
I tilted the bed to replace the pump on my 92 k2500. Wasn't bad. Removed all the bolts on the drivers side of the bed and loosened the bolts on the passenger side to prevent it from sliding off. Bottle jack on the tire, several blocks and lifted her up. Plenty of room for activities!
My tip for any DIYers out there. Often times when I do fuel pumps on trucks, especially on the Chevy/GMC, and I don't have anyone to help. I will loosen all the bolts holding the bed on, and I'll jack one side of the bed up, and prop it up with some heavy duty props. Like propping a hood up, but sideways. Or in some cases, I'll use the end with the gate, as the pivot point, if more room is needed. You will need to check and disconnect any wiring/etc that may be fastened to the underside of the bed. The brake/tail/turn signal wiring may need to be disconnected. Keep an eye under there as you jack or lift the bed up. Just make sure your props are secure, you don't want a heavy truck bed slamming down right on top of your head while your working.
You are right ...I've been doing it this way for years. I have a 4x4 wooden block cut to about 24 inches to hold that corner of the bed up...it is easier to do it this way .
I replaced my f/p by having a few friends help me take off bed, set on saw horses.
That way I really cleaned and painted my frame rails and eve8else back there!
I like to challenge myself and from your titles, type my answers. For this, I had a relay, battery, fuel pump and bad fuel. I won this with a fuel pump. Top video.
The entire video I was thinking you should've removed the bed. Another advantage is that you could've made sure the truck ran before putting the bed back on.
Did this on a suburban with ramps, 2 jack stands, and floor jack. And hand tools. Took all day and needs to be done again. May take it in this time.
Call it a suggestion or an alternative for removing gas pump retaining ring; brass drift (no spark).
I worked in a shop that had a modified tranny jack for fuel tanks. It had extended square bars with 2" thick rubber pads on them. It made it a lot better for balancing the tank. Also I always ordered new capture brackets and bolts for the straps because I live in Minnesota with all the rust. (Sometimes new straps)
I did the cam belt change on my car today. And found myself saying 'unclick' every bolt I loosened!
See what you've done to me!
I just did my fuel pump on my Silverado by removing the bed ! Strapped it to a lift and raising it up !! 2 hr job !! Love ur videos !!
I made a 3 foot long flat plate that slides into my trans jack for removing fuel tanks. Makes it a lot easier
Had to have my Ford truck's fuel pump replaced once, and yes.. they forgot the float. Took it back after about 20 miles away from the shop when the gauge was reading 'E' ... They just took the bed off, zip zip zip zip.. and had the fuel pump out in under 15 minutes, and back in again. Pretty cool to see. ~ Stay awesome, and 'click' 😎
In the 25-years that I wrenched, I NEVER replaced a fuel pump where the tank was at least 3/4 full. Murphy’s Law.
Actually asked that with about 6 minutes left. Answer provided at 46:35! Bless you!
Looks like the first jump box had a switch on top that was in the off position. Not sure if that had anything to do with it not turning on. Great video!!
Yeah, saw that too... lol. Was like.... "uh... Ray...."
@Russ I believe it was for the air compressor, yes.
That switch was for the air pump
@@RainmanRaysRepairs But the air pump didn't run when you switched it on. Was the battery toast? I saw you unplug it from the charger...
Hello, Michigan here, never ever NOT needed a new strap/hole where strap bolt went but broke/rotted off. You, sir may feast upon an entire satchel of richards. But at least we are on top of the food chain when we swim :D good vid, keep em coming. P.S. I yell at you when you do not put anti seize on everything, lol.
Ray: "I'm gonna reach up in here and disconnect this plug..."
Brown Recluse living on top of fuel tank: "Hmmm...intruder approaching..."
I really appreciate your videos. I used to work at a dealership body shop In Arkansas, and it was my dream job (detailer/porter). I really miss being in the shop, and watching your videos sort of comforts me, hearing all the tools, and noises from different machines really makes me happy. (I'm autistic and hearing those noises makes me really happy, due to being obsessed with cars and body work n shit)
Great video. Love the struggle. I’m legitimately curious … in retrospect, would removing the tool box and bed have been easier?
I got given a Black Ford V6 MK3 Mondeo ST 220 Ghia. Which I believe you call in a fusion or Contour. My mate took into a garage as it didn't start one cold morning.
Anyways they told him it had mutiple problems and the ECU had failed aswel. They reckoned $3.5k to repair.
He said come get it you can have it. Mint car with 75,400kms.
Got it home after It actually started luckily.
First think I checked was fuel pump. Pulled the pump to find the connector and wiring had burnt out. $12:50 later for new connector and loom. Been running mint for the last two years.
At the very same unnamed auto parts store where brake clean comes from, is a handy device, a D battery powered fuel transfer pump, which could empty that tank safely into some 5 gallon fuel containers (wouldn't help on removal) through the big opening once the bad pump was removed. But would allow the inside of the tank to be thoroughly washed and cleaned per the recommendations on the (often unread) instruction sheet accompanying the pump. The clean empty tank could much more easily be reinstalled, and the fuel returned from the containers using the same magic pump. Just a thought. Great video.
Good Idea. Looks like I will be adding an new tool to my shop. By chance is the pump you mentioned multi fluid? If so it would greatly reduce anti-freeze drips and wastage.
Back when gas tanks were metal. I would just punch a hole in the tank. About a little smaller than a self tapper screw. Drain it into jerry cans. Then take a penny( back when those also were copper). Drill it with hole bigger than the self tapper. Cut off a piece of fuel hose. Slice it. Then an make a hole for the screw to go through snugly. Yep a do it yourself drain plug. With a fuel resistant washer. For some reason I don't think it would work well with plastic tanks.
You could do the same thing with a quarter but they are not silver after 1964.
Nickles are OK but harder metal. If you must make a bigger drain plug. Also OK for transmissions but you must use a fuel resistant and high temp hose. Removing the pan and putting in a threaded pipe reducer and plug works much better. I have not seen those drain plugs on auto transmissions made after 1962. It saved a production nickle in 1962
@@MikhailScottKy The pump is advertised as gas and diesel. Ive used it on both. The pickup is designed to fit through the opening of a plastic 5 gallon fuel container, and it holds a couple of D batteries in the top and features an output hose with filler and shutoff. It will empty a 5 gallon in a couple of minutes. Works great and real labor saver.
What do you mean won't help on removal? Once the fill tube is disconnected you can run in a suction line. Or, go old school and just a section of fuel line and start a syphon.
And I agree that draining the tank and checking for crud in the tank is a necessity. With plastic tanks you don't get rust from the tank floating around, but if this has been fueled from other tanks or even a station that does not filter the gas you can easily have crud in the tank. That will clog the sock on the pickup. And make it look like a bad pump when it's just a bad restriction in the pickup. Or is bad gas only a northern thing?
@@bobmazzi7435 The specific pump i mentioned, has no suction tube, per se, but rather a column designed to reach the bottom of a 5 gallon gas can, and housing an impeller, so it is instantly self priming. The real point of my comment was the issue of the importance of cleaning the tank. While rust is not the issue with plastic tanks, i have found parts of pumps, such as the internal hose that connects the motor at the bottom to the metal plate at the top, melted into sludge (OEM Ford) by injector cleaners over time, and sand introduced through the filler by countless hunting trips and gas can spouts. There's also the chance to fix any carelessness or vandalism that may have been the cause of the pump failure in the first place. Which is why such instructions are usually packed with the new pump. So, while this pump wont help with removal, gravity is a great helper on the way out, and once down and the old pump removed, this is a great tool to safely transfer an entire tank of fuel into 5 gallon containers for cleaning. Then reinstalling the cleaned, empty tank, and safely and rapidly replacing the fuel from the 5 gallon containers through the filler. Hope that makes sense.
beating on the tank has brought so many vehicles home. ive learned it works alot better if u have someone to help turn the key at the same time u hit the tank cause it puts power to the motor at the same time u vibrate it makes it work loose easier. ive seen them not free up unless u hit it at the same time power hits the fuel pump. worse case senior but its always nice to be able to start a vehicle b4 working on it to help get it moved where u want it or just to hear it run, some ppl are horrible at describing what a vehicle is doing so being able to experience it yourself is always better. i also always perferred to drop the tank on trucks cause im usually working by myself or with my dad so not really enough to life a bed but a few times we've had the extra hands and done it an it just seemed to take alot more work to do the same job so we've always just dropped the tanks.
Well at least this one didn't have everything fall apart from rust and break in half on the tow truck like my dad's 2500 did lmfao.
Just my 2 Cents, I've done maybe 3 of these on Silvy's, First one I did dropping the tank, the next 2 I pulled the bed off (2 post makes it very easy) and takes half the time and you don't risk misrouted or pinched fuel/vapor lines. It's also a 1 man job.
My takeaway from this is, if you want to make Ray happy, hide peanuts in different areas in the engine bay. :D
I started watching this channel to learn to start my owe project, and you definitely make it look easy and always explain everything in detail. Now i never miss an episode because it just as entertaining as educational. Now I wanna break my car make a trip to just to get my car on an episode lol.
Hey ray! Love your videos and watching them have pushed me more to further me to becoming a mechanic!! My daily driver currently is an 2008 VW Jetta, but everytime I start it up she runs loud and a little rough, but after 20-30 seconds it’s back and (relatively) quite. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance!
Hey iv been a mechanic for 10 years. The concern you have on a cold start is because the oil drains down into the oil pan and when you start the car in the morning from sitting overnight that loud noise till it quiets down is the time it takes the oil pump to pump the oil from the oil pan through all the bearings to lube all the parts then it gets quiet.
@@jeremycermak2179 but it’ll even make the sound after just a few hours or less of sitting, any other reasons? Also just started getting squeaky brakes but I justtttt replaced them so I know they’re fine, and somtimes it’s squeals after I start moving too.
I had a '97 Dodge Dakota that wouldn't start at about 2 years old. Had to tow to the dealer. They said the fuel pump had disintegrated inside the tank and trashed the entire fuel system from tank to injectors. They had to replace the pump, fuel lines, rails and injectors. I was lucky it happened while still under warranty. Tow to shop was also covered.
Could the bottom edge of the chisel tear a hole in the tank while hammering on the retainer ring? Would a brass chisel be less aggressive and non-sparking?
Looked like it was going to cut into the tank with the air chisel.
Most videos I have seen the guys do use a brass hammer.
I have two brass punches for these occasions
@@joemuncie9187, one punch for "off" and one punch for "on"? 😆
Me, I need two, because I always misplace one between "off" and "on", only to find it during cleanup.
Never heard of anyone bbqing themselves using a chisel on this ring and people have been doing it for decades...
When I am turning that ring I use a steel chisel. But I also spray the locking ring with something like Windex wit a drop of Dawn dish detergent. Or Awesome spray cleaner. Makes the ring slide easier and the water base reduces any chance of sparking. And it dries up no muss no fuss. This works great on rusty bolts too.
I just cut a hole in the bed to replace the fuel pump. It’s an old truck however. Thanks for the great content
Good way to start a Friday morning. Watching a video from Ray! Thanks for all of the great content!
Exactly what I was about to say !!
Yea!
i have dropped a tank before that was awesome to watch. Thanks
Such an automatic tool, that it removes the attatchments once its finished 😁
That bolt happened about the same time my phone hit my face, good timing, you actually hit me with the bolt, lmfao, love your videos man, you, rich, and SMA are by far my favorite auto repair channels
Well good one RAY,for once the spray cleaner worked as it is supposed to.Soften the grease and grime THEN use air to blow the da-bree away from the connection.The reason i also use WATER based sprays is it softens DIRT better and is less toxic.Remember you are ATOMIZING those chemicals into a fine mist,those droplet's WILL make it to your lungs or to your friends lungs.It's to late for some of us who are old mechanics and are now finally getting sick,mostly with lung issues and leukemia.great diagnosis,with the spray to the throttle body.Thanks Ray.
We did this yesterday with a grand looser (land cruiser ) for the same reason. Way to check fuel pump 1 check electrical 2 check fuel level by putting a gallon / 5 litres in it then remove tank and we had to disconnect the drive shaft ( it had the grease nipple in the shaft joint.
I'm yelling at you for not turning that jumper battery on. 0 = off, 1 = on.
That was the first thing I thought lol it was early so we can let him off lol
lol. I was losing my mind and pointing at my comp screen. :)
Great work my friend... Thank you for taking me back in time with this type of repair.
Only fault I saw was the blowing of debris off the top of the fuel port with all of the fuel lines open to take said debris .
Your a champion in a world where nothing comes off without a fight.🥊🥊
Is that switch in the off position? 😂
You caught that too.
Yeah mate. Saw it and was cringing. We've all done stuff like that.
I think that one was the air compressor switch. It’s has a little pump and lights etc
@@RainmanRaysRepairs Ahh, got it. Looks like you need to forego the DC adapter and give it the full 120v charging.
This is why you're the mechanic and I'm the viewer; wow, that was a job.
Nice work! I just did this job on the same truck, except mine is a 2003 and 4wd. I pulled the bed as it was so much easier then what you went through. I do thank you for this as I know some day I will have to do this job on my Yukon XL which I obviously cannot pull the bed on.
NOCO are brilliant thanks boosters I'm using both the gb50 and the gb150 they are both fantastic
Best ones money can buy imo
I had to replace the fuel pump in my 1998 ram 1500. I was 19 at the time and super lazy. Instead of dropping the tank, I unbolted the two bolts holding the front of bed down. I propped the front of the bed up and voila there was my fuel pump fully accessible with minimal effort. It was one of my better ideas. 🙂
On a 2002 Toyota Tundra, a customer changed the fuel pump, but it doesn't start. I checked the resistance. All dang high resistance. Volts can only go to 6v. Battery is good. Looked into wiring diagram, this truck has a fuel pump resistor. Took the resistor out, all grounds are normal. Plug it back in, all resistance went back up.
Thanks for having a great attitude about everything from the phone ringing, to oil getting on ya. Today's world is tougher than ever, thanks for being cool!!
I try to hit the ring of the fuel tank each side, I've found they twist a bit, as for starting a fire, wouldn't fuel vapours, that would mean it would be leaking, all the best to you and your loved ones
I always ratchet strap tanks when I drop em because of course it's full and unstable, same with transmissions. Good video, sucks to be you and me for doing this for a living but it pays the bills.
And I thought changing a bottom hose on a 850 mini was bad, good job my friend.
I had to do the fuel pump on my 95 c1500 twice, dropped the tank once and pulled the bed once, pulling the bed was much easier for me, but I live in AZ we have almost zero rust here, and I used new bed bolts and bushings on the bed re-install.
