so i'm driving down the road today on my way home from my buddies house and my wheel bearing ****s out, then while im sitting there i shut my truck off to use a phone after sitting for 2 hrs waitng for someone to get me. then my truck wouldnt start and we hit the bottom of the tank and it started right up. bad fuel pump? 2 birds in one stone

 

Yep fuel pump is on it's way out.

Mine did the same exact thing - it just wouldn't start one morning. Smacked the tank and it fired up so I replaced the fuel pump by loosening the bed bolts, fuel filler neck, and the tail light wiring.

 

If you're going to raise the bed to get at the fuel pump, make sure you stuff some 4x4's between the bed and the frame so it doesn't slip and squish ya.

 

yeah, make sure you support the bed somehow. here's what i did with mine. 2x4 in the wheel well. before you go spend $235 at autozone for a pump, check out ebay. they sell walbro's for cheaper. and, they sell oem replacements also for cheaper than store prices. just my .02

 

sorry for the HUMUNGOID picture. lol

 

damn man that sounds like an good idea right there. but i dont have the mpney till next week so i kinda got ****ed

 

what do you guys think about this fuel pump. what am i gonna have to do to get it to work? cause it looks like it doesn't have the top piece am i correct?
