Hope it doesn't go up before it goes down!

 

haha, Friar, ...now I have my floor jack plus two others thanks to good neighbors!


Take a look at these pics guys...for those that have done this by themselves, do I look to have all the parts necessary? I have a strap wrench on hand for the ring that attaches the pump to the tank.


Is that 'oxy-pad' my truck's only fuel filter?? Why did Chrysler do that?

 

That's only the pre-filter, there are a couple more in there as well.

 

How in the heck do you get the fuel tank straps off? I know one side is basically a "T" and the other side uses 15mm bolts. Can I just bend the straps backwards? For the life of me (+Screwloose) I need 3/4" more vertical space in order to release some pressure from the tank straps. Or do I just bend them?

 

Rear strap is easy, front strap is a pain...... If you can, take some of the weight off, and see if you can get it out. If it still doesn't want to come, just bend it enough to get the tank out.
