Eric, If you want I can ask my friend Jay. He says its easier to lift the bed with with a cherry picker than to try and drop the gas tank. He has replaced his entire fuel system to support his dropped Kenne Bell blown 4.7L, lol.

Eric, this is what Jay said.
"8 bed bolts
disconnect 3 cables for lights (left tail light, right tail light, and
tag light)
unbolt or unscrew gas filler neck depending on the style.
lift off bed
unscrew fuel pump assy ring
swap pump and follow instructions in reverse. "

hmm. I dont have a cherry picker at my place. thats out at the in-laws garage. Hopefully beating the crap out of my gas tank will jar it back to life. then I can get it to the garage and let it thaw out. Looks like a pump is around 150 on rock auto.
anyone want to buy a blown Holset HX35 turbo? lol

Well, I think Wednesday I am going to pull it to the in-laws and pop the bed off. I double checked relays yesterday, all the fuses again, and beat on the gas tank, wiggled wires around. No joy. I guess I will do a write up when I do the pump. That way, we have some reference as to what needs to be done.

Well, I started the project last night. did a little more tonight, and am going to finish it up tomorrow.
Dropping the tank isnt bad. it would have been easier if it wasnt FULL of gas. the ring holding the fuel pump on/in was a bit of a PITA. the clips that hold the fuel line to the pump are a real headache. I ended up breaking the one on the stocker, and the new one didnt come with them. the dealer had a few extra, and for 38 cents a piece, I say pick up a few.
The hold up tonight is trying to get the tank back in with just one pair of hands and a jack. I have a helper tomorrow to help button it up.

Fine.
(In that sarcastic low voice.)
Thanks bolt, your a life saver...
Blown, I will snag some shots tonight. Dropping the tank is pretty straight forward. the straps have 1 nut each holding them in place. after you pull them, lower your jack about 6-8 inches and start disconnecting electrical. You can get to them from the drivers side of the truck, just lower the tank till you see the evap canister.
Once thats done, just use a small pick tool to unhook the fuel lines. the one towards the front of the tank came off easy, (Return maybe?) The one on the pump was a different story though. The clips are cheap, right from the dealer. so dont freak if you kill one.
After you get the lines loose, its time to pull the filler neck and the evap hose thats on the frame rail.
I used a punch and ball peen to get the ring off... that was the worst part of the entire process really. the ring that holds the pump in, is TIGHT. twisting it off isn't really an option. It took some "persuasion"
Side note.
I used the shraeder valve in the engine bay to kill the line pressure.
