Make sure you find the EXACT fuel pump that you need. There are different models depending on what emission system your vehicle has. Triple check what fuel pump you need by looking under the vehicle to see what/how many outlets/connectors are on your existing fuel pump assembly.
This can be hard to see, but a good trick is to use your phone and take a picture with the flash on. You want to get a good picture of the top of the tank. This way, you don't have to remove the whole tank or bed just to see what pump assembly you need!

Sometimes, you can get away with just replacing the fuel pump itself, and not replace the whole fuel pump assembly.
However, if your fuel gauge is not working properly, you HAVE to replace the whole assembly.
Always use WIX fuel filters. They are the best fuel filters you can buy for your vehicle!
This will work on a Chevy Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, or a GMC Sierra. - Навчання та стиль

Now this is how you make a instruction video: no stupid background music, no pretentious attitude, and directly to the point. Good Job!
Thanks man!
This is probably the clearest most informative u-tube video I have watched. Such a professional job.
Thank you
Wow! Thanks man!
This was a good instruction video, no music, no nonsense. Thank you Buddy!
Best video yet.I have to replace my 2002 Silverado and was unsure of the wiring until now. Thanks
You're welcome.
I think I'll take my truck to a shop after watching this, but I really appreciate your video, you are very clear, concise and to the point.
Yea, if you're not up to it definitely get a professional to do it.
It's easier than it looks. 150 and a little bit of time and probably 5 beers. save 850 to a 1000 bucks
Great video very good instructions easy to understand keep up the good work
+Dane Fenton Thanks! Hope it helped you out.
I feeling like cleveland talkin to me 😂
A+ Vid Matt !!! It is over 1000% infuriating that the new wire harness is different, there is just no excuse foe having to re wire in a new harness connector!
Thanks man! Yes it makes it a pain, but they say it's an upgrade.
super good video. thanks for sharing. you seem like a nice guy too.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Excellent comment.
Great video helps alot
+RebelRanger01 Thanks for watching. You're welcome.
Very good job buddy very good
Keith Kuhn
Thanks man! I appreciate the positive comment!
Nice work!
Nice words!
Great video
+Talon Estrada Thx!
I just did my fuel pump on my 2003 Chevy 1500 had a tool box in the bed and got sum friends and tuck the bed haf way off and tuck 45 minutes off and back on
good job all bases covered.
Thx
You can also use the side of the soldering iron... running briskly across the heat-shrink tubing to shrink them...if you don't have a heat gun.... done in the field thousands of times so proven.
Yea, that works great.
Thank you my friend God bless you God bless you and say you help me very much loved you from Jerusalem the capital of Israel
You're welcome. Anytime!
Nicely done video, very good job. I must point out one major procedural error; ALWAYS disconnect the battery ground lead first and reconnect last. If your wrench makes contact with any metal part while loosening or tightening the positive cable with the ground still attached you will be in for a rude awakening...
+artillerybuff2000 Yea, good point. That's how I usually do it. I'm sure we all have touched the battery's positive to a body panel once or twice.
Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery
Pretty good video 👍 how about raising bed for fuel pressure sensor replacement?ty
Thanks, you can it is easier to lift the bed most of the time.
My FTP pigtail just fell off after I disconnected it (did it blind without dropping tank) so now I've cut an access panel in the bed and it is not immediately obvious where it connects, so this actually helps me know where to look for it.
amazing video
Thanks!
❤great video man
Thank you!
Thanks for the great instructions. I'm thinking about taking on my bro in laws 02 1500 that has been sitting for about 6 years and this will be a major help. One question, is that fuel tank plastic? I've seen rare references to them being plastic and can't find a replacement tank anywhere.
Thanks! Yea use this as a guide/FAQ to get the job done. That's awesome! I'm glad this video is helping people. They are all plastic tanks as far as I've ever seen. Check RockAuto they might have a tank for sale.
Get a engine hoist pick up one side of the bed did it on my Daughter truck tuck me 45 minute for the hole thing and its 2000 1500
no need to remove your bedliner... just use an engine hoist or 4 guys to take bed off, 8 bolts unbolt from under truck takes 20 mins to remove bolts, disconnect tail light harness from frame by spare, and unbolt filler neck 2 t-25-35
I thought the bolts go though the bed into the frame. You have to take the bedliner off to get to them?
nope unbolt from below, 18 mm i think.... search bed removal here you will see 50 videos, i took mine off yesterday afernoon took 30mins by myself.. makes life much easier.
Hey did you have to jack your truck up at all to do this fix? Or is there enough room to drop the tank without jacking the truck up?
good question
One thing I would recommend that should have been in this video is before you start doing any of this. Pull out the relay for the fuel pump and start the truck and let it run until it dies. This will release any pressure left in the fuel lines before you disconnect them.
Good idea
Weres the relay located
Thank you
You're welcome
Yellow black is ground to fuel gauge,
purple is fuel gauge +5 volts,
grey is fuel pump +12 volts, only shows the +12 volts for 2 seconds after key its turned on.
Black is grounded to frame. In the same ground spot the fuel cap ground strap is grounded, is a short black wire that exits the Wire harness between cab and box Mine just broke here when I was changing brake line to rear, so if a pump is not pumping check this ground spot.
Oh, I gotchu. Yea, all of those ground straps are EXTREMELY important. Especially around the engine.
To raise the bed up you don't need to take the liner out... I would take the toolbox out for helping with weight and also take off the tailgate, then one person can lift the bed up with no help. Leave the 4 bolts threaded a couple threads on the passenger side, take the 4 completely out on the driver's side, and remove the 2-3 bolts holding the gas filler into the bed. Fairly easy past that
Also the crimp connectors they supplied have heat shrink on the ends that will make them water resistant
Good video. Just wish you had added the sizes of sockets and wrenches you used.
A standard socket set should get it done.
A-1 auto has a video
never solder wires in same location,step them off, one longer, the next one shorter and so and so.... so they all fit inside corrugated conduit..
Yea, that's a better technique.
what color is the power wire
Good job. TU
Anytime.
@@MattsShop you are 100% correct about crimp terminal connectors. they are terribly unreliable.
@@WV591 Yup, they are horrible.
What if I just changed the filter. Should I do it again?
No, you should be good!
What if I already changed fuel filter about two oil changes ago?
What's it sound like when you crank it because I'm on the side of the road right fkn now ?!!!! Bloody hell broke down
Can you tell me what symptoms you had when you broke down?!? I broke down and I’m thinking it’s fuel pump but not sure
Crawl under and hit the gas tank a few time on the bottom hard it may start working to get you home .
I wonder on these ones can I just switch out the fuel pump and reuse the old assembly unit? Instead of rewiring it.
Yup atleast I did . I cut a hole with a cut off wheel in the bed though and I didn’t cut it all the way only enough to bend the metal open so I can bend it back and screw it in so I can open it up again
Hey Matt...I'm just about to embark on this very project on my 2000 Silverado 1500 5.3 V8 Z71, LS trim 4WD. Having a hell of a time finding an exact match replacement with the OEM electrical connectors. Mine look exactly like those on your old pump.....the right, black connector has 3 wires and is oval shaped. The left, white connector has 4 wires and is square. So....guess I have to go with changing the connector as you showed. Wanted to know what AC Delco part number you used as the replacement if you recall....thank-you
Okay, before you start...My pump part # was an AcDelco MU1613. What you want to do is call AcDelco's parts catalog department and give them your VIN. They will tell you EXACTLY what pump you need. You don't always have to get AcDelco fuel pumps though. A lot of times AcDelco just puts their name on the box and puts another manufacturer's fuel pump assembly in the box. For example, Delphi is an Original Equipment supplier and it could be a Delphi pump in a AcDelco box.
Delphi makes high quality fuel pumps so that is an option too. Just buy AcDelco, Delphi, Bosch don't buy cheap bargain brands like AirTex EVER!
Whatever you do, just don't go down to the local part stores and buy the pump there. If you go to RockAuto.com you can see all of the fuel pump assemblies available for your truck. Check the warranties too, the Delphi ones have a Lifetime warranty and the AcDelco ones are 1 year warranty at the time of writing this.
The local part stores have lifetime warranties, but they factor it in to the price. They make you pay 2-3x the amount of RockAuto so they are able to provide you with a lifetime warranty.
They use a couple of different things to determine what fuel pump you need: the bed length and the wheelbase. The wheelbase is measured from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel on one side of the vehicle measured in inches. The bed length is just that, the length of the bed.
Don't worry about the electrical connectors too much. They should supply you with a new and improved harness with the fuel pump if it is necessary.
Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Will do....Thank-You. The video was very helpful. I have the feeling I will get the correct fitting pump but the electrical connection may have changed or been upgraded. So the portion of the video dealing with changing the connector will be very useful. Thanks-Again
+Terry Parker You're welcome. Yea, just follow what I did with the new connector and you should be in good shape. Don't forget the dielectric grease on the new electrical connector end where it plugs up to the new fuel pump!
Just a quick note to thank-you once again for your video. I went at it today and completed the project without issues. Truck runs perfectly, gas gauge no longer bouncing about, installed a new fuel filter as per the instructions as well. Like you described, getting that retainer ring off wasn't very difficult but it was a little tricky to get back on by myself. Turns out my replacement pump was the exact same as yours and therefore I had to do the rewire of the one connector. Followed your instructions, soldered them and heat sealed in marine shrink tube. Once again, thanks for the video. Easy to understand, easy to follow and accurate.
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words. It does me a lot of good to know that my videos are actually helping people and are that easy to understand. I'm glad I made you a believer of marine heat shrink it is good stuff!
Good video
THANKS!
After installing one a code of po442 evap leak came up. Anyone know the issue
Did you get the lines hooked back up to the top of the pump properly? Maybe there was some dirt on one of the seals?
Eli Guerra probably the fuel lines aren’t connected properly on fuel pump or you the fuel pump locking ring isn’t locked all the way..did you replace the fuel Pump o-ring with a new one?
I love how you think that's dirty. Come to New York and ill show you dirty.
I don't know if I should be flattered or scared.
I like how your everywhere in the video with your directions, had to watch the whole thing for him to add in some stuff u gotta take off in the beginning but at the end of the video like wtf
What did I leave out at the end???
Putting everything together is pretty self explanatory
Not sure if my truck need fuel pump 2500 hd 2004 but I assuming the problem is the fuel pump. The car is drive able
but all of the sudden shut me down once I stop by a light. I will go for the fuel pump
Is it a 6.0 or 8.1 gas engine. If it is I would check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail with a gauge. A water pump wouldn't cause it to just shut off. If it is a diesel I'm not the guy to ask lol.
Thank you for your feed back just let you know is 6.0 is gasoline but I will definitely will check the fuel pressure. By the way I was trying to say fuel pump
You are welcome. I don't just like throwing parts at things, but check the fuel pressure and I don't know if the 2500's have an external fuel filter or if they are integrated into the pump like the 1500's.
Does this work on a white Silverado?
It depends on the year. If you aren't sure if you can do this please consult a professional.
The ring really is a pain to put on, I did want a few years back. Now it's time to do it again, and I am not looking forward to it.
KK
Yea, the retaining ring is one of the hardest parts. If you can deal with the ring and getting the tank up and down than you're good.
started the vid...said WHAT? TWICE! Tool box? bed liner? POSITIVE cable? ...NEXT! WTF? ok Matt gonna take away the TD. step it up bro!
What? Thumbs Down?? What are you talking about. I been stepped it up. It's a 5 year old video lol The only video on the ENTIRE internet that tells you step-by-step how to do this. You're welcome!
For everyone out there, don't matter my mistake. Be sure the connect the ground wire bc I had pump go bad in freezing weather. In top of which I was traveling to diff state. So I did all the work in AutoZone parking lot laying in the snow and freezing weather. So before putting truck bed back on and reinstalling of course I'd test it. But didn't work and I went thru about 4 new, including having to rewire. It was super bowl Sunday and I was late. Finally a guy passing by asked me if I had the ground connected. Nope. Totally didn't realize I needed it connected. I thought it was for electrical surge protector. Started right up. Just a simple wire coming from an area I didn't think important caused me so much grief. So don't forget about it. In Silverado the wire that comes from connection by the gas inlet tube.
That sucks you had so much trouble with your fuel pump. Grounds are extremely important in 12 Volt wiring. I don't remember any separate wires other than the harness. Yea! Don't miss any of the wires or it won't work right at all!
@@MattsShop ya thx, it was def a lesson learning experieince. if only i had learned the importance of grounds before that, i would've saved so much time and effort. as stated, i thought ground was for 'just in case' type electrical surges. ughhh
Black is grounded to frame. In the same ground spot the fuel cap ground strap is grounded, is a short black wire that exits the Wire harness between cab and box Mine just broke here when I was changing brake line to rear, so if a pump is not pumping check this ground spot.
@@hawkofthenorth4829 yep just that simple seemingly insignificant wire had me all fncked up for hours. so point being, if the wire was connected before, was likely def for a reason haa. do it.
@@justaguy4real How could you possibly just knowingly leave a wire disconnected that was landed before, because you thought it would not matter? You didn't know that every electrical component on a car has to have a ground path back to the battery neg. or it won't work? Ok, you learned it.
Can some one help me out ?? I fixed my fuel pump by my self step by step and everything worked fine and then out of a sudden it said empty but I know it wasn’t empty cause I refill my gas tank with 45$ now my truck says fuel low and my gauge show all the way empty ?? HELP?!
Did you replace the wire harness like I showed?
Fuck I didn’t
How much is the fuel pump?
Depends. This one was OEM for $150-$200 with a lifetime warranty. You can get cheap ones for under $100, but people don't trust the cheap ones to last.
If you going to use a after mark fuel pump like me (precision) from auto zone . When it comes to the wireinging .... make sure you use the a... to a...b to b...c..to and d...to do ...trust me ...the instructions that come with the new pump are not the way you should wire it . I had to do it twice before I figure it out it was not pump fuel . So save you the headache....and use the a to a ........ b to b.........c to c.........d to d .....wireing
Yea, just match the colors. They should be the same.
Use AC Delco. The other aftermarkets will fail.
This
Fuel filter
Already did
I am confused about something....how do you feel about crimp terminals? Hee hee
I avoid them at all costs. They are messy, corrode, and create problems.
Did he say he soldiers them perfectly i missed that part
clean truck cant see that being a canadian truck where every bolt and steel line is flaking of rust
This truck lives in a dry/snow free state.
It's a line Wrench not a box and and not a open end
Actually it's called a flare nut wrench OR flare nut line wrench...he did mention that I believe, and said not to use a regular box wrench!
Dang so there’s only two straps holding the tank in? Dang.
Yup!
Matt's Shop Wild. Going to tackle this tomorrow. Thank you!
It's so painfully stupid that the connector is different for the replacement fuel pump.
It's easy to do. You'll be sorry if you don't because of the corrosion.
Bed liner dont do nothing...there's no bolts under it I promise
I didn't learn that until later. They are bolted from the bottom. Still a PITA to do, impossible to remove the bed by yourself, and you have to worry about damaging the paint when you set the bed on the ground.
I just did mine in like 40 mins...it wasn't no problem,I didn't remove bed completely just tilted up and set 4×4s
@@MattsShop Your video did help to know what tools I needed for sure
Thanks, I'm glad the video helped. Yea, If I knew they bolted from the bottom I might have done it that way from the start. That's the method I prefer on smaller trucks anyway. That's how I did it on my Ford Ranger fuel pump video.
@@MattsShop I used a chain horse to raise my bed after I removed the bed bolts.
You wouldn’t haft to take the bed liner out
Yea, I know now.

btw thanks for the video, getting ready to replace the fuel pump assembly on my 99 Silverado
Haha yea, get 'er done.
Lmao the bed liner wont effect changing the pump😂😂
On some trucks you have to remove the bed liner to remove the bed for easy access to the pump.
Your not mechanic do more research please
He did a fine job. You just think you're so special.
