Delco of denso for pumps, and make sure you have the 3/8ths quick release tool for the line. Shouldn't need any connectors, unless you break one on removal.....

Got ya ….
So is there a greater chance it’s just the connection side at the pump versus it being the connector on the line?

There are o-rings in the line, and that may be the whole problem. I have no idea what size they are though.

So I ended up ordering a new filler neck as mines gotten pretty roached And a new Delphi fuel pump.
I really would’ve liked to have picked a better brand option but price was definitely a factor, but I did hear that this brand pump is respectable compared to others.

Delphi is one of the OEM suppliers.

I had to replace the filler neck on mine as well. It was getting to the point where more gas was on the ground, than in the tank.

Yeah, luckily mine hasn’t gotten that far yet but the guy who owns my truck originally must’ve been backing up. A lot of boats or going through saltwater. So I have a reasonable amount of rust unfortunately. I really need to find a way to repair the two points where the chassis meets the front of the bed better because they’re rotten which I feel like might’ve contributed to the fuel pump issue and I dont really have the time or the ability to replace the entire crossmember at the moment

So after six hours, I was able to change out my fuel pump and I was able to temporarily block up one side of my bed as my front supports have rotted out
But I still noticed that the crossmember still sits on top of the fuel pump has anybody had this kind of problem?

That's too low. Are there any kind of rubber isolators, or something similar to pick the bed up a bit??

I contributed this low placement to the fact that my left and right bed mounts are rotten

I was able to add some wood on the right side, but I haven’t been able to do the same on the left just yet because I cannot remove the bolt and unlike the right side, which was completely rotten, but I couldn’t get the bolt out. I was able to notch fit it

if anyone has any insight on what I can do to strengthen these two week points on both sides in the meantime until I can work on the replacement kit for the crossmembers
