Well filled up my truck today was running great went and got oil for it and was cruisin 70-80 the way home got half mile from the house and wouldnt rev thought tranny was acting up or something so dropped it to 1st and nothing. The pump is making a grinding noise when I turn the key on so its shot next question is how hard is it to get the bed off? Also I think I am going to get a inline pump instead of a 250.00 in tank pump only thing is I dont know how big a pump I need to keep same fuel pressure. Any help?

 

The bed should only be 4 or 6 bolts? There are electrical pigtails behind your spare tire to disconnect the tail-lights, so it should just lift off.

 

Hey man my beds coming off tomorrow morning, sprayed the bolts with pb blaster today. I had a brake line burst so dropped the tank, put it back up after putting in my new brake line, pump wont work, i think i effed up a wire though we'll see then i'll decide about putting in a new pump...

How could you put in an inline pump in our tank?

 

There's about 6 or 8 bolts holding the bed in place and some wire connector plugs and you have to remove the fuel filler hoses from the tank or unbolt the fuel filler flange from the side of the bed. You also will need 3 or 4 friends on hand to help move the bed off and then back on, it is pretty heavy and bulky to maneuver around.

When I did my fuel pump a few months ago I tried to R&R the bed. That was not gonna happen by myself so I bolted it back in place and dropped the gas tank instead. Dropping the tank wasn't too hard but I had to cut a platform for the bottom of the tank out of plywood and used some nylon ratcheting tie downs to hold the plywood and the tank together as one unit on my floor jack saddle to be able to raise it back up in place to reattach the mounting straps. I also found out that old gallon paint cans, one at each end of the tank on the garage floor make are the perfect height to use as supports for the fuel tank while I was getting it the strap on and getting it all maneuvered into place. It really was not too hard, even though it had about 15 gallons of fuel in the tank.

I thought dropping the tank was a PITA and just got it back in on tuesday to find out i effed up my connections or pump... So im going the other route by taking off the bed!

 

Well I think taking the bed off is the easiest route plus I want to under coat my bed so thats my best option I called around and cheapest I found was 225.00 at autozone but found same brand online for 188.00 and said they will price match and I also have 20 some dollars in reward points so it will be pretty cheap.

 

I Think its pretty much like how it is now only there is no pump in the tank. You can get a inline one for 60.00 on ebay

 

So are you going that route man?
And can i get the link to the 188 dollar one so i can try and price match too?

 

Ill have to talk to my buddy and see how he runs it on his one truck but if its easy ill prob do a inline pump.
Rockauto.come has one for 196.00 and im pretty sure this one fits also
