If GM would simply add (like back in the day) access panels for fuel pumps and heater cores people might be more willing to buy their cars again. Just saying... Amazing how much effort they (GM) have made to ensure everyone needs to go to a "shop" to replace easy parts like back in the good ole days. Great video. It's very labor intensive and certainly not a weekend warrior's ability (lift, trans jack stands, etc...). A simple cut access panel will do the trick - quicker and more efficient.
You can also unscrew the bolts from the driver's side holding the bed on and only loosen on the passenger side then hinge the bed. A 2x4 cut to size will work great to hold it up. Imo this is easier than dropping the tank.
$715, if everything goes well. I just got an estimate today. $1,600 if things don’t go well - break fuel lines when they lower the tank. Lots of labor.
I have the same code on my 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 sl W/4.8L V-8... When I bought it, on day 1 I had the code read and was recommended to get a new gas cap. I was told that that should solve the issue.... Bought a new cap and nothing changed whatsoever.... Now I have to run the hawg through D.E.Q. and that code is causing me to fail immediately... Not sure where to go from there?.... ANY ADVICE ANYONE??? Will I have to drop the fuel tank in my rig also? OR will this be accessible in my rig without having to drop the fuel tank?
I have a 2002 Silverado with the 8100 vortec. The fuel pressure sensor is not on top of the fuel pump like in your video. Searched entire top of tank and there is no fuel pressure sensor that I can see. Do you have an idea of where else it might be???
It's on top of the secondary tank under your spare tire. I had the same problem, discovered it after I cut an access hole in rear seat floorboard to get to the fuel pump and NO DANG SENSOR there.

since when does a yukon have a bed?
I'll be doing this on a Tahoe, I might as well change the whole fuel pump.
On my base 1600 Siverado, I can reach over the frame rail & get to the sensor without taking anything else loose. Maybe I just got lucky... this time!
Did it correct the p0446 code
It’s reachable on a 1500 right
No doubt I just did mine ten minutes ago
@@fuckitol100 was it simple? Just put in and good to go?
With that part make the fuel gauge stop working
@@frankiejarrell no
So you just pull off the connector, pry off the old sensor, put new one in, reattach the connector and your good?
Right?
not the home mechanic method
Wow that's a lot of work! What would a job like that cost?

Will this work for a 2000 Cadillac escalade
What is the white connector mines corroded and I have zero fuel pressure

Excellent video, very well done!!
Is that an oem part?
Try getting that bolt off the strap on a Chevy Express Van if the nut spins. There is zero access to it.
You don’t have to drop the tank ….
I did it for 15 minutes.
I understand you have to charge per hour……

Why does fuel gauge always show empty even after replacing assembly new?😂

Fuel tank pressure sensor

It would have been easier just to lift the bed up and slide it back a little bit
You can skip like half of those steps aha 😅
Can you get to it from under rear seat ?
@@samadams5568 you tilt the bed
This is freaking me out. How expensive is a job like this to replace. It looks very hard.
@@ryssagreen5860 it’s easier than you think ! it just takes patience and the right tools.
@@snowblind187 what does that mean.....? " You tilt the Bed "..... ??
