ok I'll make sure and check the relay before i go out and spend 250 bucks on a pump...

got it moved over to the apartment this afternoon so maybe I'll finally be able to get this accomplished... are there any good write-ups on replacing a fuel pump? pictures included???

 

Man ... are YOU in luck ... https://dodgeforum.com/m_402587/tm.htm

 

omg I am in heaven right now... thanks for that link.. thats gonna help a bunch man, you guys kick ***

 

replaced the relay, the 20 amp fuse as well and still no start... I'm gonna try and replace the part right this minute.. wish me luck

 

good luck, man. let us know how it went

 

Update: aiight, I got the bastard in my truck and now she runs like a champ!!!!

Overall it was an easy project to tackle but it was the damn little things that took forever, taking off the bed 4-5 feet was cake once we had the manpower (seriously it takes atleast 3 people and 4 would make it easiest, my 2 roommates and I all bench 300+ and we had a good time getting that damn bed moved).. anyways, once the bed was removed... it took us 30 ****in minutes to unclip the electrical hookup to the pump and I'm lucky i had the patience to not break the thing.. after that we had a hell of a good time taking the rollover valve off the old pump... took 3 guys and 2 screwdrivers and 1 needle nose plier to get that bastard off... once the new pump was in we couldn't get it to screw down all the way unless we took the gromet off (took us 15 mins trying then we gave in)

Is that a necessary part?? I assume it makes for a good seal so gas doesn't come out!?!?!?!

Once that was on, we couldn't get the hose that connected to the rollover valve to connect back on, then... *cue guy walking up* a guy that has been a chrysler tech for 6 years or so said it wasn't really necessary unless you (pun) roll it over, and possibly to pass emissions.

Overall, it took about 3 hours, and I have ZERO experience in dealing with mechanical stuff like this so I'm sure it could have been done alot faster and more efficient, but it seemed like it was the frikkin little things that took the longest.
PITA project, but it has been accomplished... today we bolt the bed back on and reconnect the taillights

thanks for everyone's help and info!!!

 

wow so you yanked the bed then... sounds like alot of work to get to the pump. but with the trouble you had, probably a good thing you did.

 

i figured it would be easier, seeing as the tank was half-full, and that would have been a heavy SOB to deal with, overall it was easy, but the stupid little things kicked our asses.

I still don't know if I should put the grommet back on the pump before I put the bed back on all the way, and also the guy in my apartment complex (chrysler tech) said it wasn't necessary except for maybe emissions and in case of a rollover.. which in that case, If I roll my truck.. that ****in hose would be the last thing my mind.. cuz the way I see it, if I roll the truck, it's pretty much totalled anyways, what would a little gas do besides make a nice little fire??

 

lol, yeah but what if your in it and passed out? the last thing you'd want then is a fire. i'd put it back in.

 

man, I can't even begin to explain to you how impossible that is... the hose itself is pretty thick for how little it actually is, and the part that it connects is webbed??? (if that makes sense) ... like your tongue, it sticks out but has that webbing underneath (only explanation), therefore preventing the hose to slide back on...

what about the seal/grommet piece??? should I go back and try to put that on, it wasn't catching any threads with it on, so we removed it and then the pump was able to screw on..
