96ram got it right. if it ain't broke don't fix it. Leave well enough alone. My personal opinion, if you were gonna do it,would be to wait until you have about an 1/8 of a tank left and drop the tank. the only thing I have against removing the bed to get to the fuel pump is that putting it back on, well, it just never looks right. I'm real particular about these things. recently I had to change the truck bed on my dads truck, and to this day I notice it poking out a little bit on the driver side and in a little bit on the passenger side. I also hear a faint humming noise when I'm driving (air gets trapped in between the cab and truck bed) He's okay with that even though it bugs the heck out of me. Your call though. If you need any help, drop a thread.

actually, there is an actual filter on the assembly. Its in the regulator on top of the pump. the screen in the bottom of the pump rarely clogs up. For that matter, the one on the regulator rarely has issues either.
In order to change it, the whole regulator needs to be changed out.

To those who advocate removing the bed, I disagree. It's easier to remove the tank, and once the tank is removed I recommend cleaning it as well as cleaning the straps and the bolts that hold the tank. When the tank is reinstalled, apply some anti-seize to the threads in the event it must be removed in the future.

+1... I also think it's a lot easier to drop the tank. I've had arguments on here about it. But whatever. Even if it has fuel in it, you can just siphon and put it in another vehicle. Besides, if the bed isn't completely removed and it is just raised up on one side, it's an accident waiting to happen. It's dangerous enough working with fuel, why add another risk to the mix.
